Think that's the least of their problems at the moment.

I fail to see why any planning that may already be in place for changing this sign (or any other impending element of Chameleon rollout) - such as budget, timescales, installers being booked etc etc - would/should inherently be impacted by any arising controversies such as the Lineker situation.

(Kudos to my girlfriend for agreeing to take this photo while I was driving - "Where are you going to put these?!" )

It seems BBC Radio Foyle has new signage on its building too.

BBC Gaeilge is the most inconsistent brand I have even seen, as at the end, it used a new BBC logo animation, but then cut to the BBC Gaeilge logo with the old BBC blocks and Gaeilge in Reith, and then the new iPLAYER animation at the end. SO INCONSISTANT!!! Have Wolff Olins even designed a new logo for BBC Gaeilge?! If not, they should act now as soon as they are not busy on other projects, whatever they may be. I’m not trying to tell them what to do, I’m just saying.

I believe Wolff Olins designed new logo for all BBC services, divisions, and departments (including BBC Gaeilge) because they also designed masterbrand new blocks logo along with Dalton Maag (for Reith font). Giving that Olins's BBC project has already designed, BBC Gaeilge should also implemented the new logo.

An update to this: They've been using the new Reith blocks since November 2022, judging from their Facebook icon history. It was also used in physical events too, as seen here:

The old watermarks are replaced in social media-friendly videos in December, but they persisted in 16:9 videos until last month (!), when the practice is dropped altogether.

The opening animation was changed to the standard blocks animation, but a variation of this is sticking around, as seen in the Tweet above.

14 and a half years later and EastEnders has still not fixed the incorrect proportions on the logo on its titles…

Here is a 6 minute long video of Matthew Wilcock, the co founder of Zelig, who talks about the process behind it.

Well I guess it ok. Reminds me of the sounders for Tubi or YouTubeTv streaming services or something similar.

I guess NBC is the hardest act to follow because those notes are unmistakable.

CBS did a great job creating a sounder that seeks to emulate the familiarity of the NBC sounder.

Agreed. I always felt CBS's branding across its different divisions was messy and on the News side, quite dated. The mnemonic and having a consistent brand font choice has helped harmonise this.

Interesting... I highly doubt that banner will have any bearing on any new 'Chameleon-ised' title sequence, but it does remind me of VRT's last intro:
