BBC Oneness - idents and presentation

"Watch this space" as BBC Creative respond to ident change request (December 2016)

Perhaps the news "ident" will be a group of people looking at newspapers in a newsagent.

If they decided to slash budgets even further and just use the News Channel countdown going into BBC One bulletins, I'd be happy. Anything is better than this set of non-idents.

Two Ideas:

1) Showing the producers on the desks in view of the studio working maybe over exaggerated collaboration (people looking at one persons computer or maybe passing papers) with Studio E in view. I'd have presenters not easily identifiable so it could be used with any bulletin.

2) Maybe Studio E going live for the first time in the day - shot from the corner of the studio. Start with lights flickering on in stages (maybe the catwalk first and then the rest), then the monitors in sequence showing color bars , the light boxes changing colors, the cameras in stored position (maybe closest to the walkway to the desk) moving towards their typical shots / rising up and finally the logos and standard footage on the monitors.


That's far too good and creative for the BBC.


I'd be willing to license it to them for what is essentially free - just access to a HQ livestream of their channels here in the US.

The problem is there just bland, and not very creative, unless there trying to tell us BBC One is now crap? I never thought it would be possible to say " please bring back the circulars"

At least someone likes them.

I'd hang my head in shame today if I was Justin Bairamia, Martin Parr or Charlotte Moore.

"BBC Creative"? That's a blatant oxymoron if ever I saw one.

I know we can tend to go a bit over the top on here when it comes to new presentation, they're only idents and all that. But seriously, these are not fit for broadcast. They are unacceptably substandard.

I'd argue that BBC One and Two are in the best place they've been in years in terms of their output and that's because they're being run by excellent programme makers. But because of this background they clearly know nothing about presentation, consistency and identity and are handing out completely the wrong briefs.

I know the last set ended up surviving 10 years but I honestly can't see these lasting the year, or at least they'll have to retire sets and constantly replace them, there's no way they can be repeated ad nauseum for years.

Just added the ident used leading into the News (I've placed it in my post on Page 20 of the set, so far). I don't think there's any difference between this and Sea Swimmers #2, at first glance.

I've just looked back at the swimmers for the news and exercise class for the introduction to songs of praise. They just don't feel right for these introductions at all.

You know that awkward conversation when you tell someone you're 'into' idents. Well it just got even more unjustifiable 😢

Doesn't your comment broadly suggest that is only the likes of "ident" fans who will feel any outrage? Most people wouldn't give a damn. Any outrage will be shortlived though. People will pay no attention come this time next week.

Why don't you just ignore my comments if you find them so exaggerated / over-the-top / overreacting? I'm entitled to express my opinions over what we've been lumped with for the next few years. And it's not as if I'm the only one as the last 20+ pages attest to.
