Still fumbling for a strong idea... (October 2015)

Your previous work has been excellent, I'm not really feeling these though. I don't think the animations work well at all.

It is a bit different, but that's part of what I am going for. I am just exploring ideas, so I am not wedded to anything. I have shared most of of the ideas over the past few years when I have attempted to explore ideas. I have ruled a lot of ideas out, but there are some things I feel have potential. Outlined boxes instead of coloured ones. And I have gone too and fro from a single font for all logos, and giving each logo it's own font.

Other than the fact that I can't cope without BBC One being red, these graphics are good. I'd like to see them in colour as soon as you can

I see the Logos as being presented without colour. So more like the 1997 style, the logo in black or white. But again, I have not moved onto how they will be layed out on various graphics.

I love the animations! It keeps part of the current branding for both channels and makes the box system visually interesting rather than the fade of the old boxes.
I agree with some about the colouring of BBC One. Could you move towards a more red-orange colour?

I like the left side straps. I imagine them sliding to the left to reveal information and then back to the centre with the logo ending and starting each trailer/starting idents flowing nicely between them.

The coloured box ideas are older ones, and I moved on to outlined boxes, and not being so rigid with the colour. Alongside the logos I looked at the other channel brands in the UK (ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5) I tried to look at colours for the BBC which stood out among the others, but the colours are something I would consider more when defining the individual channel styles.

Just coloured boxes with the logo, was something I wanted to move away from.

Fair play, and I think they work well. I'm liking the individual font choices which seem to hark back to previous logos.

Just working on some ideas for formations. BBC One's have a circle expanding from the "O" of the "ONE" I want it to feel smooth and slick

The other logo boxes would animate in different ways to suit the channel (I am thinking of matching the formation to the number in some way)

I like the animations themselves, I think they work but, this is probably just my personal opinion. But this has a strange, un-BBCness to it when I see it. I don't know, seems like something you would see on Channel 5 or even BBC Three rather than BBC1. Too hip and spunky, I guess.

EDIT: I withdraw my crappy comment

This might sound strange, but I really love the BBC Two logo - there's something really attractive to my eye about the "W" in the typeface you've chosen for the TWO. (That said, I'm less keen on the typeface for BBC Four - the "R" doesn't look right to me.)

As for the animations, I love the BBC Two box formation as well - a clever and well-executed inclusion of the numeric 2.

I am toying with the BBC Four formation animation. I am not entirely happy with it so far. I may have to rethink it.
