Still the most harrowing and hard-hitting somber ident I have ever seen.
Almost so sombre it’s inappropriate. Those blocks lying horizontally could be seen to resemble a dead body.
Not sure I'd go so far as saying it looks like a dead body but I do think it looks pretty rubbish and inappropriate. They'd be much better off with an ident in the package that just has the regular C4 logo for occasions like this rather than trying to do something clever and in-keeping with the rest of the package.

Disagree on rubbish and inappropriate. I think keeping the low blocks was an extension of C4’s identity, as if it’s really speaking to us. In the end, agree to disagree.

Unfortunately there is no sign of it because instead Breakfast hand over directly to New Broadcasting House as BBC One currently joining the BBC News Channel for the continuing major event surrounding the death of Her Majesty The Queen.
So there's no "BBC Television from London" ident at the moment though.

They've changed the BBC One schedule recently to reflect a few services running out of respect for the Queen, the only likely way it'll be shown is if they lead out of the NC

The Family ident thing is a strange one. It’s technically for when multiple BBC services simulcast and need a single ident. The time for that would have been yesterday evening but there were no junctions, just solemn montages between different news presentations. The gold and blue family ident was used (in the proper sense) for the evening of the DofE’s death but then used on BBC One only for other Philip-themed programming. So if BBC One alone starts using a special ident for QEII-themed programming it would be more accurate to call it a ‘royal ident’ or something.

I'm in agreement, they would have had every service come together but they were all simulcasting the NC and BBC Three and Four were switched off due to statmuxing issues.
Since BBC Two has already gone back to broadcasting its Curve idents, and BBC Three/Four looking like they will be restored tonight, it's accurate to say that whatever BBC One has later today will be the 'royal ident'.
