BBC 2020 Rebrand Project

Very good point indeed. Thanks for the advice!

This post will be controversial but I have to make my feelings clear

Several days ago I decided not to comment further because I genuinely didn't believe that you were going to moderate your attitude.But I feel I have to break that silence.

Now I will admit or perhaps readmit that I am a crap mocker and I understand that. My earstwhile namesake Neil Jones kept stressing the need to practice. Now I will admit or readmit that that took a while to sink in what he (and others) were saying because I have Aspergers syndrome.

I have to ask myself whether you are arrogant or have Aspergers or have both. Your references to some of your mocks as masterpieces wasn't just laughable it was also insulting. There are some truly superb mock designers on TVF and yes while you have some abilities and have some made some passable mocks to refer to them as masterpieces is ridiculous.

I've noticed that many users have made very respectful and constructive comments and you have either not listened or it hasn't sunk in. I don't know because I don't know you and to be brutally honest I don't wish to.

What I am about to say is going to cause a row and may even lead to me being kicked or banned. This will be my last comment on this thread and while I can't tell anyone what to do I suggest to everyone else that they stop commenting as well.

There is an old saying "Actions speak louder than words" You claim that you will no longer be arrogant. Well show us and we will treat you with respect. Continue to act like Billy Big Balls and you'll be talking to yourself.

Don't worry, I'll listen to constructive feedback properly in future, and I'll never again show signs of arrogance (like refer to my "passive" mocks as "masterpieces", among other things) again. I don't want my words to come to any row of any kind.

I'd say it's better to do it than just say it.

Oh god who cares. Laugh it off. Much worse things happening in the world right now.

..yeah, you're right - Let's just move on.

Yeah. Exactly like that. I can't see the BBC removing the blocks but just altering them slightly

I'm liking your creative ideas on the BBC branding but I do have to agree with the others in regards to the fact that I can't see them ever steering away from the three blocks. It would be the same as the likes of McDonalds and Apple changing their logos. Those blocks are synonymous with the BBC brand just as much as the golden arches are with McDonalds. Perhaps try altering the blocks a little, changing the font weight, rounding the edges, adding effects... Have a play around with it, be creative and don't take it too seriously that what this part of the forum is all about 😊 I've tried some effects out on the below logos just for experimentation but looking forward to see what you come up with next!

Good ideas.

Fun Fact: I actually tried out the sixth one (the one on the bottom right) in one of my earlier BBC rebrand attempts. Maybe I could use it on my second concept (that’s for another thread).

The glowy one, the 3rd one, would be a nice concept

I do like the glowy one! And the one in the top right hand corner.




Mabey try and add the effect you've used for the cover image of this project with the blocks

Well, I've just managed to recover one of my ancient BBC concepts (a bit like the sixth experiment) from ages ago. Here's a non-colored version:


And a colored one:


Either way, If I was to use it on a potential second thread, I'd make the rectangle round.

Alternatively, I've concieved a stylized, six-fragment wordmark (the one I teased a while back, of course):




Either way, with each one, I've attempted to steer pretty much away from the 3D and shadowy stuff - the latter of which had a pretty mixed response (focusing on post-modernish 2D graphics), so with chapter two, things should probably be a lot neater. I might add the 3D effect on the corporate logo (the cover image) though.
