Fixed it, state of the art branding, I call it "forward thinking" as the arrow device is used to show movement and liveliness of the channel. No that's BS I spent 30seconds playing around and quite liked the BBC Two teal juxtaposed with the BBC One red.

That's actually a quite good idea for BBC One's branding...

From that single image I can pretty much imagine what the accompanying idents would look like and elements like the trailer end boards too. It's a simple idea but it's easy to see how it could really be developed.


From the actual BBC1 idents I get no inspiration at all. Absolutely nothing.

If a single ident or multiple idents of a predominant colour was used all the time it would be the same as the yellow personality 2's (for me, anyway), in that they would just bore me senseless.

The pre-regional news was embarrassing. On BBC1 North West, the local announcement: This is BBC1 in the North West with X, Roger Johnson and Annabel Tiffin didn't last long enough and the BBC1 North West logo appeared a full 5 seconds after the announcement had finished. I wondered if the words North West were going to appear. The whole thing is more cringeworthy the more you see it. You can just see all those people freezing in the sea waiting for the photographer to say: turn round now, one sort of looks, thinks and turns round, then others follow.... It's just embarrassing

The junction into the Ten looked ridiculous, with the usual "This is BBC One in Yorkshire, now the BBC News with Sophie Raworth and Lara Rostron, at Ten o'clock" being played over the images of people stood in the sea with a bit of chatter and chuntering going on in the background. The silence waiting for the non existent ident music to die down before the announcement started as per the previous set up looked awkward.

We've just had in the Midlands before the Ten O'Clock news:-

BBC1 Moobs and Flabby Swimmers in Clevedon - the Midlands being nowhere near any sea of any kind - it's like winning a speedboat in Bullseye...

With the following announcement:-

"This is BBC1 in the Midlands....now the news, with Sophie Raworth and Mary Rhodes, at SIX O'CLOCK."

:-O :-O :-O

They could have developed a set from this idea, offering a "European" compromise look (not perfect, but hey), but no they preferred the cheapest way possible,..

Thank you for making me feel better, albeit temporarily, until I have to return to reality.

New ideas for 'Oneness'....





The banality of British life has never been captured this well.
