BBC3 insults viewers once again with DOG **** reply

Thank you for your e-mail.

Please accept our apologies for the delay in replying. We know our
correspondents appreciate a quick response and we are sorry you have had to
wait on this occasion.

The re-vamp of BBC Three gave us the opportunity to refresh our image. Our
logo had not been changed since the channel's launch five years ago. The
logo and branding changes were part of a number of big changes to the
channel. Our BBC logos work to make sure our channels and services stand out
among media brands and are appealing to their target audiences on TV and
online.

We took the decision to re-vamp the channel with a solid pink 100%
brightness logo otherwise know as a DOG (digital on - screen graphic) . The
colour pink was chosen because it is warm, vibrant and an alive colour to
match the channel's image. The logo was then reduced to 70% transparency,
which was one of the levels previously used by BBC Three. This level was
agreed after consultations with BBC TV operations, as we are aware of issues
of screen burn to some sets caused by solid logos. The BBC Three logo is
brighter than other BBC logos, but our digital competitors use bright
logos and colour for their on - screen branding . This is the norm among
youth channels.

Thank you once again for contacting us.

Youth channels? Does that mean BBC3 is intended for kids?

No, I don't think it's aimed at young goats. I'd have thought that "youth"
generally refers to teenagers.

But why do we need them in the first place? I mean its not exactly rocket
science these days to have such a logo user selectable as a reminder of what
you are tuned to. Can you imagine a radio station transmitting a jingle
24/7 under all their output?

And you usually get told what channel you're watching between most shows.

"Now on BBC3. More ****e passed off as comedy."

The R1, 1Exta streams on Radio player do that every 3 minutes even in the
middle of songs whereas the broadcast versions don't. I got so sick of it
that I stopped listening.

I'm waiting for BBC to initiate a channel devoted entirely to cats.

Aggs will be watching 24/7.

No, it's an admission that BBC3 is run by kids
