BBC Two 2018 Revamp

Whilst sorry to see the 1991 logo and its idents disappear for good, a rebranded is long overdue, and BBC TWO has looked tired for years.

If what we see is the real deal, it seems to be a mash of the 1990’s Radio 2 logo and the Meridian logo.

Either way I look forward to it. Let’s hope BBC ONE can think of something a little bit different.

Does that also mean we will get new xmas pres?

Great news! New idents look simple, neat and clever. Lets hope they're not ruined by the BBC TWO logo, boxed or otherwise!

I don't want curves! I want my '2'!

A snow drift in that curved shape?

As ever, Matthew Harris - AKA Applemask - hits the nail on the head:

If you hadn't heard, and frankly I'm always late to these things so there's no reason I should be breaking it to you, a new look BBC 2 debuts on Thursday. And I mean a new look. The bladed 2 is retiring.

The bad news is that the new look is apparently "ambient" and logoless. Based on the curve in the middle of the figure 2. I say "bad news", it looks lovely, but I'd have preferred it to result in a logo. Other than just the teal box.

But I've only seen the two still pictures of it the BBC's released. And it does still look cool.

They seem to have brought back channel controllers, and this is the result

The new look, from what I've seen, is certainly very BBC2, in the same sense that Martin Lambie Nairn and the Sadlers were working with back in 1991.

And no symbol could easily replace the bladed 2, that thing had a massive, noisy, extroverted personality. They might regret literally going for "no symbol", though. If that's what they've done.

I eagerly look forward to his documentary on the new look.

Sooo.... going off some of the recent launches for new Oneness idents, anyone want to guess at what obscure junction it could be launching in? 6am, 0.40am, 5.15pm? BET NOW!

Reckon they'll be like this...?

Sorry kiddo.
But that's the way it is

9AM before Victoria Derbyshire is my guess. Isn't that when the morning Sign Zone ends?

Wow, the idents write themselves!

that'll create at least a bit of consistency with BBC One, so probably not.
