I quite like them. But, It would be just as good if they could make BBC Three normal. I don't really understand why it needs to be the way it is. It's in the ident so it doesn't need to be in the box.

Plus BBC Three trails annoy me by not having the box constantly on screen, but rather faded up towards the end with the caption. Why? I also wish they could decide on the colour. You'd think the completion of the channel line up would be a good opportunity to have a bit of consistency!

Like most of them - especially the NEWS 24 (better than the current) and BBCi. Also think the BBC should use a white BBC logo on a translucent box for generic promotions, and box the BBC Sport logo.

Like the idea of branding Daytime on 2 as 2D as well. Think the BBC Four one should be a bit more different though (maybe lower case?).

Anyone fancy boxing the CBBC / CBeebies logos, plus the BBC Radio logos, as well as a generic BBC logo, BBC Sport and BBC Learning Zone.

Very Very Nice! I Like the Radio Ones - especially the Asian Network and Radio 3.

Very nice indeed. I think most of them could easily be slapped on existing idents.

They certainly could, very slick and contemporary while still having enough consistancy to be easily identified as being the BBC. Great work as per usual Martin!

Also, I'm very fond of a Parliament rebrand to BBC Politics, not just because it'd at last fit into a box! Very Happy
