Is it Christmas?

Not yet....but look out for Christmas.

This actually appeared in the listings on digiguide yesterday:

DOCUMENTARY: Seven Days Christmas Special
On: BBC Scotland
Date: Saturday 8th June 2019 (Already shown)
Time: 19:15 to 20:00 (45 minutes long)

News, sport and entertainment stories.
(Subtitles, Widescreen)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marked By: 'Category: Documentary' marker

Looks like it was an error in the listings though, but nothing would surprise me, given the numerous occasions in recent years where Christmas programming has appeared during the Summer.

Millions of years ago when I was a kid, Christmas specials would turn up quite often over Summer.

I’m worried about the welfare of Eric @SuperunionHQ locked in the bunker! Hope he’s been let out for water and sunshine. Fascinating to see the iterations of the new BBC2 idents @designfestbrum #saveeric pic.twitter.com/OCOZ8lSgcJ

That would make a great ident.

Oooh, very hypnotising

That looks like one of the current idents in shades of green and brown rather than the different shades of blue it is currently?

I have to admit, Maverick does not animate the way I thought it would and it looks nice as a still, but as an actual ident I'm not feeling it.

It looks like test development for the paper 'Captivating' ident.

Maverick is going to be a grower for some people I reckon.

Some images of upcoming idents from the same talk:

Feeling very inspired after @Tudballistic @SuperunionHQ talk @designfestbrum on the rebranding of #BBC2 - the first in 25 years. Great to get an insight into the brief, collaborators and process, and to hear the brand is still evolving #BDF2019 pic.twitter.com/gKTJsLzXi6

The blue serious one would look great before arts/music-themed programmes like the Proms

They sure are pumping these out by the dozen aren't they. Though good on them to be fair, I have nothing but praise to give to these idents. They definitely are a worthy successor to the iconic 90's '2's'.

They're just mesmerising to look at because of the stunning visuals.

Lambie Nairn would be proud that there's a successor to his 2s

Superunion is the same agency Lambie-Nairn was, before Martin Lambie-Nairn left. But I have no idea of the turnover, or if anyone remains from those BBC Two days, 25 years ago.

Still, they've come up with a great successor to the famous 2s

All we need is some new idents for BBC One and Four, Reith it all up and then we'll have a significantly improved presentation across the BBC.
