Wow, nobody liked the logo at the time.

I like the CBeebies one with the angled letters. The CBBC one might come to life more if each letter were a different colour or something to make it stand out. It's a little bland but it could work.

I think these are very much a case of waiting and seeing how they look on air before making any judgements, I do quite like the CBeebies one as it is there, though.

Funny how Children's is the last to get Chameleon presentation (I think? Now that News is about to fall fully in line) when its programmes seemed to be the first and fastest to get the new BBC logo everywhere.

They're very generic looking, however, if the surrounding presentation does the work then it wouldn't look as bad. (taking a cue from Nickelodeon) - I'll reserve judgement

That's how the 1997 rebrand approached it - they didn't put all the personality into the logos, they instead let the channel properties do that job.

Yeah, like I said, the 1997 logo was boring too. The yellow and black animations were the identity of the CBBC brand.

It was a stroke of genius in 1997, but in 2023 logos are in so many more places than just television.

Though, the 1997 logo was boring too. Just a Gill Sans C in front of the BBC blocks. The yellow and black animations formed the main element of that branding, not the logo.

Here's the logos, taken from the BBC website.

CBeebies is passable, but CBBC... no. Just no.

Children's BBC, has in the last few years, gone from being called when read "CBBC BBC", to "BBC C", to now supposedly "BBC CBBC". Progress!

I'd have thought that these new logos will be used alongside roughly the same presentation as the channels have now.

The Cbeebies branding with the yellow blobs and cloud writing is so ubiquitous and the repeat rate of its programmes is so high that it would take a long while to replace totally.

CBBC possibly won't be a linear channel for too much longer sadly, so will they bother creating something new
