Learnt something new there as I’d assumed there would be a uk version and international version as they used to have two versions for the website didn’t they? So international audiences have access the national radio station and the (not so) local stations too?
I thought they had modified the letters and they weren’t “pure” Gill Sans. Wish I could remember who I was talking to about that.
Then problem with bbc reith for the logos is I think it’s too thick in its normal weight. I think a semi-light would have looked better. Plus the letters are too small. I’ve noticed that in any application where the logo is small, you can loose the counters in the Bs (an issues with the 1980s slanted and coloured line logo and that the 1997 logo corrected. Because most of the channel names are no more then four letters they end up looking very chuncky and squashed. If you think back the channel logos when the colours boxes appeared the fonts were very think but they could larger as they didn’t look overly thick.
I couldn’t believe the PM website. It’s like they’d given up on it. We’ve also already got variation in logos with the world at one adding the clock hands and the gold underline “at”.
I have to say a lot of the colour schemes look very dull and almost dirty if that makes sense. They’re not very bright or eye catching. Think back to the textures and gradients they used on the bbc end boarders using the circles were much deeper and high quality
