They are horrible especially that 'talkback' font. Thames is crap, should go back to some sort of reflection. I could live with the Boundless and Retort ones since they totally look far different from the others.
Even if they are not final yet, I hope they have sense.

They feel very interim, more a placeholder thing until they get actual logos. So, guess some of you will have to wait for the logos still. In the meantime, take these quickly constructed logos until then, may not be representative of final product.

Again, because I know some of you will not hear it and think the end times have come, these aren't the final logos .


Thank you so much for your patronising words of wisdom. I'll be able to sleep well at night now.

How exactly can you be so sure these aren't the final logos? Perhaps you're right, but nevertheless.

I seriously doubt they're the finished articles (too many ideas and attempted links on display, clearly strung together in a hurry) but nonetheless they've apparently been happy enough to allow an industry magazine to get their mitts on them and publish on the big bad web; people will comment.

Or more likely vomit.

How very 'contemporary'. Whenever I hear this word, I know it's going to be ****. Look at Emmerdale's logo. I mean, what?

Ah well, at least they're only going to be used internally though, eh?

My words of wisdom aren't for you or the other intelligent, interesting and handsome fellows like yourself. They're for the people who will think that they're serious about these logos and that they weren't made in an afternoon before a 3pm meeting.

How can I be sure? How can you look at these barely designed things and say they aren't? I don't think Fremantle is the kind to allow their production companies go out looking like some Jaronesque setup.

Well, whether they're the final designs or not, Bradcast aren't the only ones to get thier hands on them (the Boundless version on this site is slightly different).

These logos are solid excrement. They remind me of things created on one of those "make your own logo! websites.

Disgusting logos. That Thames one is absolutely ****.


Bilky asko's mock is better than that aberration. Reflective icons are so five years ago.

Shocked Sorry, but that Thames logo is awful. I'd go as far as to say I've seen better mocks. Boundless's logo should've been Thames's. The text is at the bottom of the box, as if it was sitting on a river - much more suitable for Thames.

And Talkback's is just lazy. That T is in the same font used for the old TalkbackTHAMES logo.

I must be stupid but seeing as Thames is essentially a legacy name does it need to have a link to the river at all? Yes this not-a-logo is possibly the worst simply because it breaks more basic design rules than the others but I can't say it's inappropriate for what they do, sums it up well if anything.
