I'm yet to see anyone provide a cap where that has happened.
Managed to catch a little bit of the programme this morning and the only prolonged period of the wordmark being difficult to see was during the rundown of the front pages, as you end up with white text on a light grey background for the duration.
Not entirely invisible given the slight shadowiness but not massively clear either.

Still quite readable though, but even if it isn't to some viewers let's remember it isn't necessary - BBC Breakfast copes perfectly fine without the programme name on screen.

My biggest question of this rebrand is why do they use the 2017 Logo in the titles, stings and still in studio mugs and things but why do they use just the lettering for the lowers and the twitter profile, this kinda makes the brand weak imo because it looks like something is missing

But the brand there is 'BBC', and the programme name does appear on the straps, the background screens and within other graphics in the studio at regular intervals. They manage all that without a channel DOG.
I doubt you could actually go more than a few minutes before seeing the name of the programme very clearly on screen when watching on BBC One.

Exactly. It appears whenever a strap appears, which the GMB wordmark clearly does too.
