I’m quite liking the BBC’s festive idents this year.
I’ve always found it fascinating the level of discussion they generate as well as the fact that they seem to do something completely different most years.
For me, the news safe idents are pleasant and appropriate to the season and for me, it’d be acceptable to have them playing year after year. After all, it’s only for the one month a year and we don’t mind the fact the regular branding is used the rest of the time for years at a time.
But the animations are all Christmassy as well (with the exception of Zog) so just find it nice. The animation last year on The Boy, the mole, the Fox and the Horse was lovely but didn’t feel in keeping with Christmas whereas this years do.
Hopefully see some more channels getting into the spirit now we’re in December.
