It's only one piece of pres that I've seen so far. There may well be others to come.

Could it be this one?


That’s the one!

That's quite funny, it looks like one of those generic stock business logos you can buy for 20 dollars...

I’m not actually sure what it is supposed to represent myself or what its connection with either the Irish language or the BBC is meant to be.

According to the brand guidelines:

Quote:
The logo design is based upon the brand proposition and values. The new look logo will sit well with the current brand family as the colours are firmly rooted in the BBC Northern Ireland colour palette. We believe these colours capture the distinctiveness of the brand, reflecting the vibrancy and diversity of the content.


So, nothing basically.

Here’s the blurb from the design agency, which is no more illuminating. Also, it’s been knocking about three years, apparently. I suppose it being Seachtain na Gaeilge it’s a timely discussion piece.

Yeah. Bit of an eye sore that tone of green. Nice idea though.

Not sure if someone has posted this but apparently the TV Room has called these idents as "Feel Good Pleasurable", "Offbeat Non-Conformist" etc. because someone keeps trying to edit these names on the Wikipedia page and he typed in of his recent edits "New Ident names have been revealed by The TV Room". Not sure if these are the official names or not.

I always assumed the names on TV Home were correct as they were. (for the ones where names were revealed)

There appears to be two sets of name; BBC Ones and ones by the designers.

And some of the names are used multiple times across different idents - Lively, Challenging, Non-Conformist - it's almost like they represent categories of idents rather than their names. The new names just look like...a line of adjectives.

I'm gonna stick with the original names for now.
