There is an article on the rebrand in March 2008's Computer Arts magazine. The box logo used is a dark purple with pink text. I'm guessing this is what will be used in the BBC cross channel promotions.

On the Lily Allen site they use a black box - so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Or is that purple and I'm going a bit colour blind?

Looks like I'm colour blind then (or just have a dodgy monitor).

No it isn't, a quick check of the colour indicates a very dark tone of purple but is purple irregardless. That print logo is throwing people off, repro'd version seems to be much lighter than the web version.

As Nini said, a colour check confirms it is a dark purple. It also appears as dark purple on my monitor, so if you see black, I suggest you turn the brightness up.

Darn it - I missed start up. Was anything said?

Anyone planning to try and capture closedown, in case we get a blob montage?

Blob falling over ident used at start up, lots of 'Goodbye to the Blobs' references from the CA and a sneezing Blob menu used into TopGear.

Well, there wasn't a montage! BBC THREE's blobs went out with the same whimper as Neighbours left BBC One with last week. The final junction did mention it though:

and ended broadcasting for the night with the usual (using "old logo"):
