New CBBC idents this weekend!

CBBC will be relaunching with new graphics this weekend. The "blobby" C will be replaced with a more rounder "C" and new green circular logo.

You can see the logo in action already in a couple of the trails on the CBBC Channel.

and your evidence is.....
any caps? Did LN do the rebrand again?

He says you can already see it in some trails, but I don't watch CBBC, so I don't know.

He might be right....

If the graphics being used on the recently revamped BBC TWO Breakfast Show are anything to by, it won't be a change for the better.

I do know that the head of Kids announced earlier in the year that she wanted rid of the "bugs" presentation. I've also heard that the days of in-vision continuity on CBBC are numbered too.

I hope now. When I was a kid, there was nothing I hated more than CITVs out of vision service. Most kids at school felt the same too.

Ditching in-vision continuity on children's TV would be complete stupidity. I can't believe that is actually being seriously considered by the BBC. If IVC is appropriate anywhere, it is on kids TV. Kids more than another other group will develop a relationship (and loyalty almost) with the links presenter. They can't and won't associate with some disembodied voice over a graphic. I'd really like to hear what the reasoning behind such a move would be. Other than cost-cutting, I can't really think of a legitimate reason.

Why after all the resources that have been thrown at it in recent years, is it now possibly suddenly being deemed unimportant?!?!

quite - and of course its in the beeb's interest politically to make cbbc look as different from the other children's channels as possible.

And CITV who seem to be spending all of 50p on their presentation budget (and barely any more on their programme budget, seeing as it's nearly all imports, repeats and repeats of imports).

I agree that the in-vision continuity works well. I may have got the wrong end of the gossip stick; it may be more of a case of a dislike of certain continuity presenters or the current presentation-style used by some of the presenters, rather than a dislike for in-vision continuity. I suppose all will become clear eventually.

As for cost cutting, that could be a factor. It's also possible that it is just a 'new broom' mentality. People like to make their mark.

If you know CBBC shows,you know the presenters. You can't just throw presenters away and viewers would notice!

Well I always associated with "some disembodied voice" over the BBC1 globe and saw no reason why they had to "fix" the situation in 1985.
