I don't know why everything needs to signify something.
Usually to justify very high marketing invoices

The red-and-black look since 2003 has been the weakest of the lot. It's just so nonsensical -- what do those ribbons mean? Why is it a conch shell shape? Why a black background which signifies.."nothingness" ?

How come no press releases have been added to the BBC Press Office page. They must have put something out, or have they just leaked stuff to the Times and Indie - hence no other papers have covered it.
I know that things are occasionally 'pre-released' to chosen Sundays ahead of more global press releases. Is this what is happening?

It's no good coming up with something that looks nice but has had little or no thought put into it. Even if your concious isn't realising that black means nothingness or blue means calm... your subconcious is probably coming up with those connotations.
Look what can happen when not enough thought is put into a logo design! Of course too much thought and not enough consideration of whether the thing looks good is just as bad... see the London 2012 logo!

Not sure I'd agree with that considering they're just one basic image filling the screen, I think they'd work quite well on mobiles/online. They're certainly less details than both the cream and black/red titles that have followed since - and the incoming look too. I imagine that's going to have the box covering most the ident on mobile content!

The Flags were and still are, bold, fresh, clean and DIFFERENT, which when looking at the competition, is surely a good thing.
Still they wouldn't work so well today on mobile phones, online with you-tube style compression artefacts, but on TV they could still look good, and still no-one has done anything like it.

'state pr' ? local councils and the NHS aren't really 'the state' (well unless you're a paranoid conspiracy theorist!)
I agree that perhaps the programmes should question things more, but without items from publically owned institutions there wouldn't be a lot else to report on. These programmes don't have the resources to have lots of reporters 'off-rota' finding and investigating original stories

The alarming amount of state pr that appears unquestioned is like a soviet state:
