All looks pretty good on the Studio Output website. Liberating the 'Tricon' makes it a much more ownable and engaging device.

Would be nice if somebody is commissioned to look at the rest of the channels with the same care and attention to detail...

Nice to see that the logo in all the examples posted so far is the version with the BBC logo centred above the three pillars, rather than the one tucked in the corner.

I actually didn't notice that! But glad they've centred it.

In the Style Guide Framework section, there's an actual digit 3 used. I imagine that would have looked good as the 3 logo for the channel and would look great with a BBC logo above it. It also easily makes a good logo for an app icon etc. 2 also has its logo. If they brought back the 1 (or brought in a new style) for BBC 1 and made one up for FOUR, they could go back to having a numeral/logo/mascot for each channel. It would certainly help with creating a consistent look across their network and make them feel more connected again. The four separate channels are lacking a certain... what's the word... oneness?

How do you get to the 'brand hub' website?

I'd like to see BBC Four use the same "4"-with-a-quote-mark-in-it (or at least something quite similar) that BBC Radio 4 has.

Why not just have the IV or IIII as in Roman numerals? After all, the BBC still create copyright dates in this way.

That logo is also in it's tenth year... that's twice as long as the previous one lasted.

But that logo makes sense for a speech radio station. Doesn't quite work the same for BBC Four.

Reviving quite an abandoned thread - but they've changed the BBC THREE intro sequence when shows are aired on ONE and TWO. Noticed it when watching some of This Country last night. Corresponds more closely to Studio Output's work, though it uses the same soundtrack introduced with the Red Bee rendition last year.

Didn't realise they were still airing any shows on BBC1/2 - they're pretty hard to find in the schedules if they are.

All long form content was supposed to air on BBC One/Two wasn't it? It annoyed me that Extra Gear never got shown.

EDIT: Although it seems like they've rectified it this time with a late night showing on BBC Two.

Because Extra Gear wasn't long form, that's why. And now they are showing it anyway.
