Now, the current version is a lot closer to the proper logo, but if you look at the file history and look at the earliest uploads, you can see the culprit - the typeface is too thin and the C is too high up.
You see I don't think that necessarily is the culprit; I'm not sure of the original upload date - but these titles were used from May 2006 with the offending logo on them:

I do wonder if the person who made the wikipedia version copied it from a programme, or worse - the original uploaded was a BBC employee who made it and thought it was good enough.
