The reception area of Quay House is particularly full of them with loads of lightboxes on the wall featuring 10 year old channel and service logos, there was even one for the BBC HD channel (and no I doubt it was for the surviving maritime channel!). Hopefully they will get a bit of a refresh when Bridge House closes in the spring.Wow, looks great! Now we have to wait for NBH to get a new logo.
Meanwhile in London, the new BBC music studios in Stratford have already got their Chameleon blocks despite the building being some way off completion. The renders have logos on the top of the building too.

There's an interesting article on www.bbc.co.uk about how changes to the radio slates shown on TVs as well as using the new branding save energy.

TLDR: More black on screen means less energy usage.

I don’t understand why there are 2 BBC logos on screen here

I wonder how much energy is being saved by the bad cropping of the Radio 3 logo on Sky Q.

I did wonder if the changes were intentional or a mistake on the screen when I first saw them...
They're not too pretty - at least the ones used for Radio 4.
The dark blue text doesn't really work against the black background

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed...

The point made in the article is that the previous designs were most suitable for an era when TVs featured no auto-dimming, no local dimming, and weren't OLED. The research shows just how much difference it makes - and it never hurts to test an assumption, as assumptions are not always correct.
