It will come as no surprise that BBC Three's effort is just as garish:

The layout is a huge improvement but the design is appalling.


But, let's face it, BBC3's idents suck, so at least they match. From the excellent blobs, to the bold, brash pink nightmare.

Layout wise, it's much more readable; Design wise, looks like a barely OK mock.

I think it's the large text size that makes it look shoddy. If they downsized it and made sure it didn't go so close to the edge of the 'box', it would tidy it up.

Just a shame that regardless of any changes, the BBC3 ECP will always be that garish pink colour...

The IPP's have also got a new look (smaller being the only good point)

Ugh, how could these even be allowed to air!? The previous design was so much better. Surely they could have just tweaked those to make the credits box take up the whole of the bottom section, rather than creating a whole new inferior version?

Yep, have they ever been used during the credits before? Beats a full ECP I suppose.

And tonight we've learnt that whatever the Beeb do, the ECP are still ugly.

I think that sums things up perfectly. As previously mentioned it'll also cause problems for programmes which use static credits, which I believe is still allowed under the current guidelines.

...if this had been posted in the Mocks forum it would have got 1 out of 4 stars, if lucky (for concept).

Again, there are better ways to do it...
