In fact, this is how I think it should be on all channels...
Like it - but it's no improvement on the 1997 generic look, which looks nicer, works better in widescreen, and doesn't throw up all these problems with BBC Parliament and so on (another problem is on News 24 where the programme details will clash with the clock).

Those are good but the new CBBC is loosing the yellow and black colour scheme, and they'll probably have new logos as well - so the cbbc boxes will be different...

- Sorry DAS I just re-read your post and realised that you did put that you knew the yellow and black were going - sorry!

As I did say in my post, I fully realise that.

In reply to RW, I completely agree with you. The previous generic look seemed to be compatible with everything, yet this new layout has a few flaws.

I don't think the clash with the N24 clock is a complete disaster though. I saw a BBC TWO ad last night, and the text is only overlapped by a bit. Having said that, moving the clock would mean moving the rest of the graphics too. And moving the promo graphics would also mean re-positioning the trailers and idents! Someone at the BBC hasn't thought it out... Wink

And apologies to Frogman, who apologised before I apologised if you see what I mean. At least we both understand each other now! http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/biggrin.gif

(And also apologies to everyone for completely throwing out the forum layout with my BBC Parliament design!)

There will be no relaunch of BBC ONE in January.  I don't know who started that particular rumour...but it seems to be rampant on this forum...


I don't know anything for certain, The only stuff I know is stuff that I have red on various TV websites. But how can you be so sure that there won't be a relaunch in January? For all us lot know they might have new idents after the christmas one is taken off, but its anyones guess.

I think as someone else said, the BBC should adopt the box look on all channels now as BBC TWO stands out too much at the moment as the odd one out, why they felt the need top relaunch BBC TWO before thwe others is really beyond me as everyone would have loved the other idents to continue at least for a few more months. BBC ONE cenetered at the bottom may look old fashioned but it also shows the better 1997 design, I like seeing it on ONE still, however BBC is at it's best with a standard look unlike ITV who I would like to see revert back to more regional branding!
