Oh my! How did you come across this? Id’ve thought the BBC wouldn’t have this just live for everyone to see but I guess it doesn’t give too much away other than the new logo of course.

On the contrary, it’s the old one which looks so so wrong after you go to an existing page from that test page. Just makes you think - why are the letters sooo close to the edges. Where’s the spacing!? The new logo is just right.

It was linked somewhere on the actual BBC website but as a bit.ly link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5tbhGwCbVtR4jhBCDfBJVk5/third-party-embeds

So that SVG test site logo has 32px x 32px for each block, with 8px spacing between the 3 blocks.

Are the proportions different to that on the BBC News beta app? The letters look a tad bigger to me!?

Yeah, it's weird how MLN designed the logo so that BBC letters read like a single phrase. He must have forgot that it is normally styled as . B ... B ... C ., as if they are three wholly independent letters.

He designed something different. A logo where the letters were the important thing just contained in blocks. I get the impression that in this new logo it’s the blocks which are the main thing with the letters secondary.

It looks like the whole Sport test page isn’t in Reith just yet.

The sub-menu for WorkLife looks amazing, especially in comparison to the current News one.
