I recently updated my BBC News app and whilst images are loading it still shows the Gill blocks as a placeholder which still feels 'right' even though I know it's not current..
The BBC still haven't even managed to change the logo on NBH
At the top of every hour on the News channel you have both logos in the same frame!
I know, we point out the BBC’s focus on the US market on the BBC News thread, but to have updated a physical background logo on the Washington set, but to have failed to do the same at the entrance to NBH (the global HQ, let’s not forget) says a lot!
Plus every time there is a story where the BBC is either mentioned or reported on, either by it’s own News teams or other organisations, somebody is standing outside NBH and the old logo is prominently in frame.
Creating, of course, yet more archive footage which will have the “wrong” (not current at the time) logo in, years later, when it is used in documentaries and so on.
