The promo for UKTV uses that style, so I'd assume it's being used across the UKTV network. Don't know if it's being used on Dave though.

The promo has been used on Dave with the various logos flying around, but they don't include Dave, and Dave is still using its own design and nothing has changed as of yet.
That'e the only problem now that it doesn't use the UKTV name, although the way that they've done this years UKTV package has the channel name above UKTV, so they could get away with it, as it is called Dave, but is still part of the UKTV campaign.

I was thinking the same. The "uktv" logo is very small on the idents/BBs; very easy to put "Dave" in there using the correct font and missing out the "uktv".

The only problem now is "What colour does Dave actually have in the UKTV family?"

The cheesy gold and avocado green in promos & idents is just that (it's supposed to be cheesy, as is the font) but it's too close to History & Garden's colours to be distinctive. They couldn't use light blue as it harps back to G2.

Humm, suggestions anyone?

Well, looks like it's just Doctor Who for me.

8.00 Strictly
9.00 EastEnders
9.30 To The Manor Born

Looking at that, I would predict that on ITV1 Emmerdale will be on at 7.00pm (after ITV News at 6.50) with Coronation Street at 8.30 and the drama at 9.30. 8pm will be some sort of half hour filler?

Yes, what filler I wonder? Latest Corrie Christmas episode for a long while, and it's not usually after the second EastEnders episode.
