Bit off-topic but I've just realised how much VMPhil's signature looks like the Reith live bug...

Nice work! My signature is based on the UKTV logos from 1997-2001.

Yes, I see it - "UKTV Anything"

As an aside (and happy to open a new topic), were the UK TV brands covered in the 1997 BBC logo revamp. I know their house style was, but were their logos subject to a similar treatment?

Lambie-Nairn did the 1997 idents (and the 2001 idents) so I’ve always assumed they designed the UKTV logo style too.

Coincidentally, as there doesn't seem to be much online any more about the early years of UKTV presentation, I'm planning to add a page to my website summarising UKTV idents from the 1997-2004 period, which should be ready in a few days.

That should be something to look forward to and can I say I am a huge fan of your website. I'm always interested in old BBC pres so it's right up my street, also I think your Des and Mick stories are superb.

It might have already been said but what has happened to the BBC Sport news studio?

They've been in the secondary studio the few times I've seen bulletins over the past few days so either there is some work ongoing in the main studio or something else needs the space.

This looked like poo:

Seems like this was a missed opportunity to change the usage of the countdown - maybe the countdown should have the logo added as a graphics layer, allowing flexibility to once again have some dynamic content on it leading up to the TOTH

Shouldn't "VM" be larger and a few pixels lower than "PHIL" to be completely accurate?
Capybara, Spencer and bilky asko gave kudos

No numbers on the countdown (if it still is a countdown with no numbers) at 9 and 11. Missed 10 so not sure about that.
