since when has radio 1s logo been different?

although its hardly changed, i dont like it.

It hasn't changed, it's an acceptable form of printing it in a space that shape.

So now it doesnt looks right against the other network radio logos:

The Five Live one never did, so does it matter?

LOL there's no real need to keep some form of design going for a radio station seen as your listening to it rather than seeing it. The logo and design surrounding it is one mere aspect to back a website and promo's. And seen as it's no real change it's not a huge thing.

Bizarely, it's changed back to the previous BBC RADIO (1) stlye in the last hour. Weird.

Are you talking about their website or the BBC Radio website? I've just looked at the Radio 1 website and it's the stacked one as in the first post.

Both are acceptable under BBC's branding guidelines. I would imagine they used the stacked logo to increase legibility at the small size.

On landscape posters etc., the "top of a charity collection box" Radio 1 logo usually appears as thus:

IBIBICI RADIO
( I )
97-99FM

Took me ages to get that right

They all have alternative versions for diffrent uses.

It's not much good having a rectangular logo if the thing you're putting it on is long or square

Lol, that's weird. I checked the site twice this morning, and

Pre-7am - Stacked Logo
9am - One-lined Logo
2:34pm (from Moz) - Stacked Logo

On the first two occasions, both the first and the third posts, and the flash logo on the BBC Radio 1 website displayed the logo I've listed. At the present time, the image in Post 1 is Stacked, the image in Post 3 is one-lined and the image on the website is stacked.

What's up with all the changes? Can't the BBC make up their mind which images they want to use?
