If anything the design being similar means it should have been even more of a priority to replace it across the board ASAP to justify the change.   Continuing to use the old version so widely 18 months on only plays into the hands of the "why spend millions on a new logo that's the same?" brigade.

That’s very true, especially when the children’s channels, Parliament and Weather (on screen) are still using the old logo. Maybe they should have changed the logo for something completely different.

Or they should not have changed it at all
