BBC Breakfast have been reporting live from the ITV debate studio this morning. Somehow they've managed to plaster the old UTV logo onto everything...

Pretty sure everything has been reused from the 2015 debate, hence the UTV logo.

The Guardian are reporting that May and Corbyn are still welcome, even if they turn up at the last minute.


Gotta wonder how cheap ITV is if they can't change the logo. Looking at the previous set it does not appear that there isn't anything intricate on the podiums. The rest of the podiums are the same as seen in DrewF's screencapture are the same and all have the same dimension for the logoplate which looks stuck on. You probably could run down to the local printshop (UK equivalent of Kinkos?) and get fresh logos for the podiums on cardstock (something your CSD can do!) or foam core board for under £150 and what a few hundred for the sign? Hell if the real signs metal and the UTV logos a decal they could replace it.

But to play devils advocate could it be a deliberate design position? Say the designers didn't want the podiums to look off balance by having the large ITV logotype followed by the UTV logotype or STV had some say.

With the sudden death of Rhodri Morgan yesterday, campaigning in Wales has been suspended today. Does that mean ITV will have lost another leader from tonight's broadcast?

If they were designing them now, I don't think the UTV logo would even appear as it was only included because it was a separate company. Since ITV bought UTV, I only see STV's logo used in addition to the ITV logo, for example (if you look at the header): https://twitter.com/itvcorrie

Leanne Wood mentioned that Plaid's official campaigning has been suspended, going by that term, she's probably going to do the debate as it's not an official event by the party.

ITV debate is going to be flop isn't it.

Must admit I'm not planning on watching it, as I watched the ones in 2015 and didn't feel it really influenced my opinion either way.

Don't think I've watched one since the first in 2010, and they became a bit ridiculous last year. Would like to see a head to head with Corbyn and May with a big countdown clock for each like the French debate a few weeks ago.

So, how fast did they print them? Did they only notice today? And I'm guessing they've kept the UTV logo on for symmetry.
