I wonder if and when they will change the signs on their buildings and will they do it quicker than the BBC

When ITV did the previous drastic change to the corporate logo they did it all on the same day. To the extent of people putting stickers over notices in car parks and removing the logo from buildings. Branded office mugs were even changed.

Rather like what banks can manage to do early in the morning when they rebrand. However I believe that's actually a legal requirement for them, such as when LloydsTSB demerged, and temporary plastic signs were removed and metal plaques replaced outside every branch.

I think the BBC deliberately chose a new logo which was so close to the Gill Sans one that the average Joe/Josephine wouldn't be aware for some time when looking at buildings from a distance. It's only us geeks that notice that one.
