Cheers Mike.


Well I'm getting a bit too observant...

Now the right one seems to have been generated away from the normal template for some unknown reason or are BBC Two logos just naturally getting bigger these days?!

Cheers, Asa

Don't worry, I noticed it too... Maybe that's the big change on Monday is - a bigger logotype on slides???

I think the beeb maybe moving towards what I call the Radio 1 font (thats where I remember it from) instead of Gill Sans for trailers(its on one of those earlier and is on the Walking With Beasts billboard opposite where I work). I'd prefer them to carry on with Gill Sans but they probably want to differentiate between logos and captions.
[btw i've been drinking tonight so typing isn't my strong pint [point]!]

Funny, on all the Walking with Beasts posters I've seen in my area, it's nothing but Gill Sans!

According to Darren Meldrum on MHP-chat, 19 November is the big day!

If they don't show Kebabs in widescreen in the next couple of weeks - I'll scream! 12 years? Let's hope for a nostagic director on BBC Two on the Sunday.

Why does it keep going on about the ident change being in 1989? Everyone knows it was 1991!

Well, at least the famous '2' is staying!

Well, at least the 2 isnt going - they obviously relise its too iconic. Hopefully any BBC 1 relaunch will keep the globe then...

I like the BBC World stlye BBC Two text, although I hope it isnt purple blocks in the real idents, it looks wrong - the stlye shown for 2W is better.

I go away for the weekend, come home, and find out the current BBC Two idents are being axed!

Two different BBC people (who work in presentation and output) told me that there were not going to be new idents.

Its all very well getting blood out of a stone, but when the blood is nothing but lies then it does leave one rather disheartend.

No doubt Asa and his crew will be capping like mad come week monday Wink
