Logo's quite boring.

Here's one knocked together earlier:

(Inkscape SVG version 10k: clicky)

I'm not claiming that's perfect, but at least it's less boring and is more versatile.


I'd prefer the BBC's logo to that!

I dont like it, pink why pink! the BBC logo must be smaller for it to look better. And I don't like the slant

Never mind the logo - what about the output? It seems the TV side of the operation is paying mere lip service to an audience already underserved on the BBC. And it does not address the void left by CBBC's abandonment of the 12-16 audience.

Ambassador, with this lurid pink and brown colour scheme you are really spoiling us.

It was meant to be flourescent, but was quite rubbish Embarassed

The idea was that it resembled the circuit symbol for a single-pole single-throw switch . As opposed to that unimaginative boredom that occupies the website now.

Well they said it's not a channel, I hope they are still working on the logo, also when I went on bbc.co.uk/teens they had the old Radio logos on.


Well, it's pointless calling it BBC Switch without a logo to keep it all together.

I doubt teenagers want to be reminded of electrotic circuit symbols (and therefore science) at the weekend!

Glad they haven't fallen into the trap of mentioning 'teens' in any trailers or other media I've seen/heard for it. With the right branding this could be very succesful.

More like 'BBC Switch OFF' if you ask me!!

Not too keen on the brand name! If the strand is a flop it will be pulled to pieces in the press and no doubt the headline will be BBC Switch OFF!

It's just so sickening to think that programme budgets are going to suffer, especially in factual and current affairs, when there is so much overmanning in non-programme making departments. What about marketing executives, media planners, diversity officers and all these other pen-pushers whose wages would be more justifiably pumped back into programming? I think we know who Charlie Brooker would be first to sack...

If the BBC didn't get the licence fee settlement they wanted it serves them right in a way. They have all the money they need, they just choose to waste it on administrative non-essentials.
