Did anyone notice the new BBC 'Now' menu that appeared after Neighbours and featured BBC 1, the CBBC Channel and Radio 1?

Yes, I noticed it either yesterday or the day before. It's completely white with drawings of TVs down the left hand side, which feature channel logos. Next to those are the programme names. In the bottom right corner, there is a small animated "Now" logo.

Seems quite strange given the red nature of every other BBC1 graphic.

It has been on quite a while (from what I can remember of seeing it!) and is used quite a lot. It is white with 3 TV screens (unless showing radio) giving little stills of idents from the channels. Very nice, very IKEA.

But they're still using the other red, yellow and blue "now" graphics as well, which is a bit strange.

Yes, I've noticed that. The white one is quite nice, especially when the channel idents flash very quickly on the little TV screens before the logo shows.

That's probably because the same graphic's being used on other BBC channels as well. BBC Two were using it last night too.
