Some are timed perfectly so the voices run up to the logo, others crash it slightly which is irritating.
Pick one or the other but be consistent. It just smacks of “that’ll do”.
Other than that they sound modern but still distinctly Radio 2.
I agree. I think they’re quite nice.
How long was the previous one in use, including the reworks? I definitely remember it in the late 90s, albeit with the slightly different melody.
What was the reason for the melody change too? I remember the day it changed, it was very odd - like the old one had gone a bit wrong.
There’s an article here that goes into the background of why it changed at the time: earshotcreative.com
