And why can we not have English regions named in the idents? ‘Representing all the nations and regions of the UK’ they say…

We’ve never heard a reason as to why the regional identifiers were dropped. It’s not like there’s no room for them, or it wouldn’t suit the design, as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have them.

Someone obviously decided they were no longer necessary, or at least not worth the effort and cost of producing an extra twelve versions of each ident. And with the various objects moving in front of the logo and text, it wouldn’t be something that could easily be added later by someone in presentation without access to the master templates from the design agency.
