The previous horizontal variant of the logo was generally supposed to be rendered as a red box with white text inside, or as “BBC NEWS” written in black text with black BBC blocks (and no background) if monochrome.

The sign should, according to that, have looked something like the logo seen in the desk at the Washington studio, as seen here:

Or, to be generally more on-brand, the “red box” as seen in BBC News titles on screen should have been used.

Very funny - if you look at the second and ninth pictures, the designers have put a picture of Lucrezia Millarini (yes, of ITV) as a London correspondent.

Oh dear, the Clickspring guys
