and not go straight to Red Bee considering this:

[Here is where two images would go, but I want to be kind for those on dial up. Anyhow...]

Although not bad, I think these just lack something that all of the other have.

Doubt they will be going back to Red Bee considering the current set will only have lasted 2 years if they're scrapped in Autumn. All the others lasted much longer than this set.


This set was only ever meant to be temorary for 6 months at the most. It was when Alison Sharmon came in and wanted the bugs to go pretty much straight away. Anyway, she left and the "proper" relaunch delayed by a year or two...


You know, when I saw those, I always thought they looked temporary.

But why get rid of the bugs anyway? I think they still had a while left in them.

Yes, I think so too. I believe she just didn't like them, but then why leave CBeebies as it was? It makes a mockery of this value for money thing if they are going to use money to have a new set of idents and logo and website if it's all going to be in vein in 6 months time anyway...

So if plans were in place for a big relanch when she left, I wonder if work had already started on the new brand package and is therefore already finished (which I presume also included CBeebies). If the temporary package went to Red Bee, I imagine the big rebrand could also have been heading in Red Bee's direction then as well.

According to radiotimes.com, it finishes Feb 3rd, and since this week is the last 'Surely' game, it would make sense finishing on the 3rd.

I thought TMi was running until March? Hopefully TMi will be back for a second series.

Can I ask a small question?

Yes?

Why does everybody go to Red Bee?

Red Bee are an award winning production company with a specialism in television channel presentation, branding and promotion.

Oh ... and before it was sold off, it was BBC Broadcast (and before that BBC Broadcasting & Presentation and before that the BBC Presentation department) ... of which CBBC Presentation was once a part!

I'm sure loyalty plays an important part in their chosing Red Bee to redo their on screen presentation package.

Does this sound like a certain escapade with a particular red hot air balloon and a Ms Heggessey?

And this is the same Red Bee that was responsible for the banal ident set on the Discovery Channel, and the rubbish that was the Jan-Nov 06 ITV1 set. Oh, yes, and they bleeped up the CBBC bugs.

(By the way, it wasn't me who said that quote)

I think that loyalty should not stand in front of quality branding. The quality of Red Bee/BBC Broadcast/this design company has dropped recently, and it is quality which is what matters.

They may have been good a while back, but there are so many companies to choose from, why does it seem to automatically go to Red Bee...

Are the rest that bad?
