No that's still BBC Two's normal font Avenir, just not bold and with weird margins and logo placement.

Just BBC inconsistency.


BBC Two logo looks in a funny place too.


Yes, it appears that they've purposely placed it so it is roughly midway between the 2 on the left, and the edge of the screen on the right. Doesn't really work, though. The placement of the boxed logo looks odd enough, normally, but in this position it looks even more odd.

It's as if it was supposed to be a dual channel promotion with second boxed logo to the right, but it didn't get that far.

I personally feel like the BBC Two logo should be horizontal. I think the stacked logo does not work for the idents. Of course, the stacked logo could still be used on iPlayer and whatnot, but the stacked logo just doesn't look right on these idents. Who agrees?

Of course not! Everything else about the endboard though... a mess. I really do hope 2018 brings a BBC wide refresh of graphics/idents/logos etc. It's awful now and badly needs a revamp.

I've always thought the pre-2001 'stripped' logos looked better than the boxes which often look awful when scaled down.

Scotland still using the older incorrect ident. Maybe if the network got off its back side and did a proper job first time around this wouldn't happen.

Gay Brittania isn’t finished yet - there’s a programme on Sunday investigating homophobia in football, and the concluding part of Man in an Orange Shirt.

After that, it’s all done.

Nope, there's a programme on at 10:30pm on Sunday, and then 00:15 on Tuesday morning (a repeat but still possible it could be used).
