New BBC corporate font: BBC Reith

These are great! The only niggle I have is with the on-screen clock within the straps, it's a bit too small, I know we've gone HD but if someone was watching on their phone, you'd probably have to squint.

TV needs to design for TV, not their phone. And TBF I watched them on my phone and they were fine.

Seeing as people are talking about whether or not The Nine's design could or couldn't work on the NC (and elsewhere), I might as well link a few videos I've been working on for The Gallery, so you can get a sense of what it would like like if they did adopt a similar style...


I think the main problem you'd have with using The Nine style graphics, which has been pointed out, is the having no background... apart from the shadow so that the text doesn't clash on light backgrounds (I purposely made the shadow darker).

Thanks fanoftv, Moz and Brekkie

I won't deviate too much (well... I'll try not to)... I don't want to turn this into a mock thread.

I am making more videos, basically one for almost all NC, BBC One and BBC Two shows, I'll put those in a Gallery thread when they're all done, most of the captures I took are from the same day so they should keep another level of consistency. But if you want to see what the NC would look like then just look at the Sportsday vid... it basically has most of the main graphics, just with some recoloured to sport yellow.

Now... back to Reith

I find it ironic that the font is named after the organisation's founder, yet they can't seem to honor his legacy by just implementing it with no hassle at all.

Surprised no one's noticed the weather...
