What do people think of the new BBC Radio logos?




Are they worth £120,000?

I suppose they're simple and uniform

But, No.

I remember the gasps of apathy when the long awaited new station names were announced back in 67.
1...2....3 zzzzzzzzzzz I fell asleep then so I don't know if Radio 4 was around in those days.

Why does R3 look a little girlie? and, what on earth is Radio A with a cross through it?? Radio Apathy? Very Happy

Close. Asian network.

I think Radio 2 should have a pair of Chris Evans specks attached to it. Laughing

Of course now they need to repaint all the studios bright orange.

I dont think they have put any thought into them. It makes the BBC look tacky over commercial radio logos.

A sort of cross between the 1960s & 1970s logos. The 1960s logo with the orange of the 70s one!

I like them. There are some nice, subtle design hints in there. Well done, Auntie.

I can see the clever design hints on 3, 4 and 7 and maybe A is supposed to represent some article of Asian clothing? but what about 1 & 2? are they so boring they couldn't think of anything? Laughing and why do you think the 6 extends to the circle edge? I can't think of a reason.
Although I really can't stand Evans, I think Ernie's glasses idea is good! Laughing Laughing

Together, they look like the buttons on an old TV set.

Were they the result of a design competition for the under 5s?

Perhaps Radio 2's blob could be fatter to reflect the waistline of some of its key presenters. Laughing

The orange could be a reference to Dale Winton's skin colour.

Not impressed by them at all. At £120 a waste of the licence fee money.

Nothing wrong with the old ones!

Radio 2 appears to be the first to have the new logo on its webpage, this afternoon.

Yes, but the old logo still appears on the main radio page and the webcam page.

It might make Dale Winton disappear.

Actually Radios One and Five both took the new logos weeks ago. In typical fashion, the new logo rollout is taking longer than a Russell Brand link
