Hello. I don’t think any BBC channel logo on any EPG (Freeview Play, Sky, Virgin) has been updated. Surely it can’t take that long to be updated?!

Because I don’t know what they are or their rebrand status. Not even heard of BBC Global News - is that different from BBC World News?

Does the BBC Shop count and its god-awful logo?

Surprisingly, they don't use Reith on the site

Six months on the old logo still seems to be the preferred option for end caps too.

Regarding international channels, am I right in thinking the only ones to have changed so far are BBC World News, BBC Kids (Australia, which launched with the new blocks), and BBC America?

Not surprising, the BBC's Delivery website still instructs use of the 1997 logo - means there are likely programmes being prepared for first TX months from now that will still use that logo. Though, to be fair, it also says that the BBC logo must be static or fade in/out, despite the fact that the BBC have been using an animated version of the blocks for end boards for about a decade. I also get the impression that both internal and external producers don't check the guidelines that regularly - the fade in/out logo at the start of programmes hasn't been policy for quite a while now, but you still see it on new programmes.

Again this can easily be contrasted with the 1997 rollout where nearly every new programme from the 4th October onwards was prepared with the then new logo. So strict was the adherence then that Look North (Yorkshire) even re-edited their titles to include the new logo for that weekend, even though they were introducing new ones on Monday 6th.

BBC Proms still used the old BBC blocks logo despite the rollout of new logos across core and non-core services, even BBC Radio and TV broadcasters that organize the event are used the new logo. The same situations goes apply to BBC Symphony Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, BBC Singers, etc.
In a video that i found from BBC Press Office Twitter account, i saw the new BBC logo on top left and Proms wordmark at the beginning, but old logo at the end.

It has also already happened on BBC Radio 2 since few days ago.

Updated with muff news and Proms/Orchestras/Singers.

You can see why this is taking so long!

Idents ? ECPs ? Social media ?

CBeebies

Idents ? ECPs ? Social media ?

The two kids channels have some bits and pieces along the way. Cbeebies had some social media promos with the new blocks (a two-in-one style with iPlayer), ECP and closedown caption:

CBeebies appears to have gotten a new MHEG caption with the new BBC logo.

While CBBC has the closedown caption and slides in the new style:

Still, the main social media and idents hasn't changed yet.

BBC Sounds has a smart tv app too. Just sayin

For clarity, you might want to separate out the Nations.

BBC Scotland (not the channel), BBC Wales, BBC Northern Ireland (and BBC Gaeilge) - Their logos are yet to be fully updated across signage, pre-programme stings, programme titles / endboards, social accounts. 

Though branding is complete on TV across BBC One Northern Ireland, BBC One Scotland, BBC One Wales, BBC Two Northern Ireland, BBC Two Wales. Though epg logos haven't changed yet.

The radio stations haven't changed yet - Scotland (Orkney, Shetland), nan Gàidheal, Ulster, Foyle, Wales, Cymru, Cymru 2 and associated social accounts, studio and events branding, muffs, TV campaigns, studio visualisation, etc.

BBC News (and Sport) Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales have updated some bits but not others (muffs etc).

I wonder if they have a family ident with the new logo. The one last year they used for Prince Philip’s death was very classy and soothing on the eyes.
