BBC Radio

it's exactly the same as the old one. It follows the box design because it's part of BBC News and Current Affairs.

IT's not part of News and Current Affairs, it's a seperate part of the BBC

Any chance of a larger asian network one?

The thin strands are illegible on the smaller ones...

Indeed, and I'd forgotten just how bad the outgoing Radio 4 logo looked on Freeview until I flicked through the channels there, with only very basic colouring meaning no shadow and no gradient for the background. Looked especially naff - the new one should at least be consistent.


I'm afraid not - Tim Lovejoy DOES have a programme on 5Live...

I meant the Gill Sans bold and the jagged edges made it look like it was made in paint!

Yes, I think he knew that. He was making one of those joke things you get these days.

Good read on the Guardian site regarding the new logos...

Radio 1 website now has the new logo:

Moyles was talking about the new logos this morning, in particular commented on the bit in Ariel about the Radio 1 logo - saying that it was working well so they just tweaked it. So why tweak it if it was working well? Listen again around 7.50ish.

Speaking of Moyles, seems he's having to work a 6 hour shift today - Jo Whiley's off and her fill-in Sara Cox has called in sick!

Yeah, Edith Bowman is starting an hour earlier at 12pm, to take over from him.

Yep. 5 hours is good going though.
