Okay, completely unrelated to the topic but the BBC has a new animated logo for their DVDs and before their programming on streaming services like Netflix.
Very minimalistic with the black and white and the music is nice.


BBC America has been using as well, I've noticed it when watching some of the episodes of the current series of Doctor Who.

I think that is likely to be used on a lot of BBC Studios (the production arm) sold through BBC Studios (the bit of the BBC formerly called BBC Worldwide). ISTR that a lot of 'sold shows' had more than just the white BBC blocks that we get domestically when I've seen them broadcast on channels abroad.

It's the blocks in a purple/blue square isn't it? I've seen that on Dave when they show Top Gear

Yes - that was the previous branding I believe. The new one is B&W with animating dots on stalks? Can't remember if it is BBC Studios or just BBC branded.

Apparently, the dots are based on the dot patterns seen on the TVC building.
It was part of a rebrand of BBC Worldwide back in 2016

Well if they're based on those dots this designer must be rubbish at dot to dot.

I often wondered if those dots served a purpose? Or were they just decorative?

Decorative. The story about them is that the architectural team made a model of the building for approval by the board of governors and it was thought that the wall was a bit plain. So one of them stuck some drawing pins on the side of studio 1 and they stayed

Was that a new ident on a trailer before Newsnight just now - looked like a patterned silk-like fabric type thing? Thought I was up-to-date on this thread if not!
