I hope the new graphics are more like the Nine or at least that style used on the flagship bulletins and Newsnight.


I’m sure it is all in the pipeline...

The space between Prime and Minister looks weird. Like how people in their 50s type on Facebook with unnecessary double spacing.

Maybe it’s correct on the titles?

It looks like it might have been tweaked over a touch in order to avoid a join in the vinyl print.

I like how the thread now has a clock counting how long it it has been since Reith was revealed but not implemented into the majority of the BBC. Laughing

Perhaps we need a clock counting how long the clock has been on the thread but people haven't noticed it!? Wink

#SneakyReith is so cool. I bet it's so smug when it keeps you waiting. It's up there in smugness levels with the BBC Fire Clown. What an absolute legend. Cool

I've seen a copy of an internal email announcing this - but it appears to have made its way onto Twitter too:



No indication that the BBC blocks are to change (that would be madness, surely), but there's a lot of Gill out there - in graphics, on physical signs, engraved into glass, everyone's staff IDs, and in buildings worldwide. We may have a long changeover period ahead!

Is it just me, or do the bolded Sans ones look like the font Sainsbury's uses?

I genuinely never noticed it as "To replace Gill Sans in print and on screen" appears for a second or two and then it changes to the timer. By that point I have clicked on something and never noticed the change!

Where is it meant to be?
Edit: found it, didn’t notice any changing on my laptop and of course it’s broken on my iPad :/
