I had the most terrible nightmare last night, I dreamt that BBC Two had this style of presentation for nine years! I mean, can you imagine?

On that measure, we could conceivably have Oneness until 2026.

I was watching a recording earlier that was pre-rebrand and couldn't help but feel the trailer design was just horrid compared to what's in place now. I can't remember the last time a rebrand made the previous package look so bad in comparison.

BBC TWO NI showed the new Action Line slide design last night.

This is leaps and bounds beyond the thoughtless, inconsistent cack we've seen from the channel for the past few years. It's great to see something that actually looks appealing.

Is that... more than one font weight? Astounding!

Makes me wonder If BBC 2 NI have it slightly different from network/other regions. I love NI for it's little differences in CA, idents etc that make it WAY better than Network/Other Regions, but maybe they've been pushed in line a smidge.

BBC News article on the rebrand here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45666478

Makes reference to the outgoing 2's and the launch of BBC2. "First rebrand in 20 years" is a debatable statement however.

During the ident, the BBC TWO logo would have been white, wonder why it has been changed to black for the Action Line slide.

It’s the BBC. Consistency isn’t allowed.
