BBC News Rebrand - This Monday

Poor BBC Manchester, all that money making wonderful titles, and then it to be replaced so soon...

which begs the question why did they bother? BBC Scotland were apparently warned off making new titles when they moved due to this impending revamp, so why did Manchester not do the same?

BBC Scotland has been very lax keeping the Blue Map titles for longer than anyone else.

It is like going full circle from what I've heard - in some ways... although it's a bit of a mix... images plus place names. Regional that is - no idea of national.

Can anyone tell us whether there is going to be a new BBC News logo?

If you mean the 'BBC NEWS' bit (as opposed to the globe) then I highly doubt it, though don't know for sure. The BBC logo is a well established and highly recognisible brand. If they were to change it, it would entail changing the lettering on every BBC building in the country, not to mention stationery, publications, programme credits etc etc.

He said BBC News not BBC...

I think its High Time, BBC News ditched Gill Sans, and actually introduce a logo to it. I tried it once...

Bring on the BBC News mocks...

I hope we finally get a good strong brand again across all BBC News' outputs. I'm fed up with all the bits and bobs of pres' from across the last 9 years.

Hopefully some decent titles and astons etc and music which is part of the brand but each programme/channel has its own distinctive look again.

A nice idea but I don't think they look right being aligned to the right. They'd be easier to read if aligned to the left.

The town names are done very cleverly since there's now no map...
I think white, red and a globe

No, I like(d) the use of Gill Sans - it looked very sophisticated in the 1999-2003 era especially (and before that when News 24 launched.)

No, sorry Martin, I don't like them, and do like Gill Sans - it's the BBC logo and should imho still be used for all the outlets.
