What confuses me is why the Welsh radio has a different font? and is in lower case?

Looks like they're either keeping their old logo or someone hasn't updated it yet. The Radio Cymru logo is quite clever, the inside bit of the 'C' is the outline of Wales

Wonder what they'll do with the stations that don't have 'Radio' in the name - BBC London, BBC Essex

Well if you remember BBC London went through a bizarre phase of their jingles saying:

"BBC London on 94.9 FM and BBC Radio London on Digital...on tv..on radio etc"

God knows who decided to do that as it made the whole thing very clumsy

The corporate style uses Gill Sans. Radio Cymru uses DIN (which looks quite nice) and Radio Wales is using that thing that looks like the UKTV font (which looks quite rubbish).

Ah right well I think it's good that they're starting to move away from Gill Sans all over the BBC - you don't need a corporate font to tell you its the BBC. The logo does well enough I think.

yes it will be interesting. bbc wm have spent the last 10 years trying to make people use the name bbc wm, as opposed to "radio wm"

its a very odd decision to suddenly add radio into every station name - especially as the bbc seem to be preparing for the time when people no longer think of "6 music" or "bbc wm" as a purely linear radio service - but merely a portal for the sort of content they like which can be accessed in several different ways.

Just think of all those jingles they'll have to change!
