New BBC corporate font: BBC Reith

Sorry if I took things out of perspective everyone. Just a thought!

Thanks for that. I was wondering what all the fuss was about.


I suppose it'll be similar to the January 2007 relaunch of BBC News. No spectacular studio changes, just new graphics, new font (obviously), and potentially new music and titles. I'm now ridiculously excited beyond words.

And ditched twelve months later for something far inferior that will last for five years?

Of which the titles will last a further six years?

Was very disappointed that there was no mention on the BBC News at Ten of the new graphics tomorrow. Ho hum. If it’s coming, it’s coming.

They're not going to mention a set of new graphics - such things will only appeal to those of us who read and post on here. If it were a complete rebrand - I'm talking set, graphics, titles, music, the lot - then maybe they would say something - but a new set of graphics isn't that important in the grand scheme of things, and certainly not something the general public would consciously take notice of.

Coming up at 11pm on the News Channel - the last time the titles will air in its current form.

What time and where am I tuning in tomorrow to see Reith?

5am BBC World News.

08:58:30 on the BBC News Channel you will see the new countdown, and from then forward everything will be in Reith!

Well if I must say I didn’t think Reith would be implemented on the news channel so late. I would have thought mid 2018, a year after it was slowly phased in.

I have to say it, in honour of Moz: one more sleep!

(Although part of me is preparing for an anti-clinax tomorrow. "It's only a font. It's only a font...")
