From The Telegraph: 'The broadcaster has commissioned Parr to "capture an evolving portrait of modern Britain in all its diversity" for 2017, based around the theme of "oneness".'
I'm not really getting the whole "diversity" vibe with the new indents, so I'm proposing a couple of ideas to get the ball rolling: Fly tipping in an English country lane. (Filmed with a hidden camera. Relatively low budget) A Sharia Court in session. (perhaps a little contentious?) Honour killing. (this one probably needs a little more thought) |

Or maybe not - of the 20 or so people in the 2 idents..... there's only one person who's not white, and no-one looks under 40.
Not exactly diverse http://metro.co.uk/2017/01/02/bbc-on...dents-6355869/ 12 disabled people in one, 6 ethnic minorities in the exercise one (at least). They've hit the diversity jackpot! |

No thought has gone in to it.
Quite ridiculous BBC Scotland has to use 'Clevedon Somerset' bathers 'cos there's nothing else. I'm surprised Nicola hasn't raised the matter in the Scottish parliament yet. Looks like 2 idents per month all month. So they will never build up to a full set of 24. It will just be another 2 next month, which I think might be from Wales, and then one man and his camcorder is going to work his way round the UK. But, at any given point in time, these idents will only be relevant to one BBC region. I'm sure the controller of BBC1, charlotte Moore must know the UK (and BBC) are divided into a number of nations/regions, but I suspect when she commissioned them from this great photographer she neglected to point out some of the basic requirements of what an ident should be. Duncan Newmarch (one of the Beeb's announcers) hasn't tweeted since Dec 26th. I'm sure he values his job too much to publicilly say what he must be thinking And dear Tony Currie sometimes posts on DS, but, perhaps wisely, hasn't passed comment. I bet he's read this thread though, as well as one on another forum. |

There's nothing wrong with change - if it is for the better. The idents are clearly poor, and as we all pay for the BBC - we are entitled to our opinions.

The BBC One HD red caption screen has been ruined too, and the sound level is too loud.

Is Oneness like mindfulness? Everyone has heard of it but nobody knows what it means.

So are they "clearly poor" or is it just your opinion that they are?
Loads of people complain every time things like these change. For every person that complains, you can bet your house there are another 100 people who really aren't bothered. The minority who don't like something always make the most noise. Although I personally can't believe ANYONE would think they're good, you're certainly entitled to think whatever you wish..... Quote:

http://metro.co.uk/2017/01/02/bbc-on...dents-6355869/ Was it a story with a generally negative spin on the new idents? Either way, its also the case the majority simply don't like change. There was a thread almost identical to this one four years ago complaining about not liking the, then new, idents. And now here were are again, with people complaining about them now being replaced. Obviously its subjective, but its also true that there are some people who just don't like change, and also some people who just like to complain. |

No - presenting your subjective opinion as some sort of objective fact is all kinds of wrong.Quote:

You can't believe that anyone would have a different opinion to you?Just wow. |

They really should go back to the hot air balloon idents. By far the best ones the BBC have had since the old spinning globe was retired.

They can't use the old ones, because they are shot in the wrong format. |

Imagine the Daily Mail headline "BBC wastes 100K making a new balloon"
They can't use the old ones, because they are shot in the wrong format. The Mail will complain no matter what. They'll complain about "onemess" anyway. They'll complain when a BBC employee burps without apologising I wish we'd ignore what the Mail has to say. It's a load of rubbish anyway |
