BBC 2020 Rebrand Project

Interesting ideas. Certainly something a bit different. I do personally think, however, that using translucent boxes would provide a far nicer effect than a strong shadow if you're wanting the background to show through under the text.

Understandable.

I quite like the idea of using no boxes, however I think the shadows definitely need to be toned down a little.

Yeah, I admit it, they are more intense than I could have hoped.

Luckily, over the past couple of hours, I've managed to take your comments and evaluate my own thoughts on the graphics, and have assessed some other flaws. So therefore, I've fixed them. Firstly, the clock is now shown after the logo and before the ticker box, so it no longer looks awkward, as well as making the the Headline-related line horizontal instead of vertical. I also did my best to decrease the opacity on the shadows. Lastly, seeing as blurred images as background templates aren't really that necessary, I've gone with the "theory test" approach. Here's what I came up with, in a wide bunch of examples:





Above all, I managed to learn a few lessons from The Nine's graphics. I've also managed to do the same thing on the TOTH thing, countdown and World News.




And of course, we can't leave Breakfast out.




As a bonus, I've managed to do a handful of BBC World News-only programmes under the revamped BBC umbrella - those being Newsday and Global.



To wrap up, many of you may be wondering how the animation for the BBC News opening would play out. Here's my view: We see a space-like background with red clouds and 5 dark, giant glass cubes, which fall into the clouds. Suddenly an explosion of light erupts from the cloud, and several red streaks of energy fly towards the screen. The camera pans to reveal the streaks hitting a glass wall, forming a world map made from dots. The BBC News logo then forms in the middle of the screen. The music is a combination of the 2007 and 2013 themes.

Well, I'm proud of all of these tweaks. As always, your opinions are always welcome!

Works much better than trying to put your logo into the current graphics. Very nice.

Thank you very much.

Wow, it's been that long since this thread had activity?

Time flies by when your having fun... he says...

Nice to meet you too! I might consider doing that, but I need to find the right way to do it. If it were to, though, It could be revealed in a joint broadcast between BBC One, Two, News, CBBC, and CBeebies at 9am on any given day (during the post-Breakfast junction) to mark a potentially important step in the BBC’s evolution.



26 days. Sorry for the long hiatus! I’ve been experimenting in my bunker again with some other mocks: Another BBC concept, and an ITV brand unification mock. In all fairness, I’m still seeing what stuff needs to be showcased on the current BBC concept.

Breakfast ends at 9:15 on weekdays and 10:00 on weekends, just so you know.

It has been 09:00 since March.

In the parallel universe where sending this mock to the BBC management convinces them it's better than what they currently have and they decide to launch it all at once, who knows what time Breakfast is actually on?
