Similar to my style? (with the text and logo placement with BBC and NEWS).

I was going for the same style as Regional News (Look North, etc) but you're right it does look like your work. Sorry! Embarassed

AxG, I made [url=http://s14.postimg.org/rasn0gxw1/bbc_news_fixed_with_bbc1font.jpg]this title card with uppercase BBC1

That's ok Smile
I think "NEWS" should be in caps to make it more professional.

AxG, I made this title card with uppercase BBC1 font and this lowercase logo, again same font. Any better?
I'm thinking for this to work it might need an adapted title sequence, something I'm not ready to do on AE CS4 yet unfortunately.

Nice,I might sound stupid, but will you take my CBBC idea up?

It depends. I only really set myself up to rebrand the main channels, but if it takes my fancy I might give it a go Smile

I thought it was to demonstrate you have the BBC One font?

Thanks for the input everyone.

Here's all four logos I've gone for, if anyone wants to add anything then please do:

Why is the BBC logo a different size in each of these?

From what I can see, the only logo using that font is the BBC One logo itself.

No, they're all in the same font. Just BBC One is in a different weight to the other logos for some unexplained reason (despite the stated aim being consistency).

I assume the BBC One logo lies somewhere between the Regular and Bold weights of the BBC One typeface, and was designed prior.

If I wanted to simply demonstrate that I have that particular font, I would've posted a glyph map.

Different channels have different names, names which either lengthen (BBC Three) or shorten the logo (Arts).

They're scaled differently to keep them within the boxes (which I tailored for this forum). They can be viewed with proper scaling here.

Even though the original post did not use the BBC One font.

But when you present something, you need to take the time to make it presentable, not just chuck it together. There's no reason you couldn't have used that same layout, with the same boxes, and just used the same font-size & BBC logo for each one.

Just because you have a box that is 400px wide, doesn't mean you need to scale everything up inside that box so it is also 400px wide. And it looks to me like the font is basically the same size for each logo, you've just changed the scale of the BBC logo to get the longer words to fit in, which looks wrong.

Also - when posting in the mocks forum, can you *please* stop putting your images as links to other sites. Just embed them in your post.
