Along with a lot of other right-thinking people, I was really sad to hear the BBC were planning to close down digital station 6music. Almost as importantly as the end of the Adam & Joe show, it will mean I won’t have a use for this sketch I did a while ago.

The 6 was always aching to be a pair of headphones, and most of the other stations have a small intervention to the number to indicate their content.

If you want to try and change the BBC’s mind, there’s a protest tomorrow in London, apparently if enough people turn up they will consider a reprieve.

And if that happens, I’m happy to develop the logo for the relaunch.

London agency Fallon has redesigned the suite of BBC Radio logos, old and new comparison above.

I think they’re a definite improvement, much more consistent, and I’m all about consistency! I guess it’s strange that some are plain numbers, while others have a small detail indicative of the station content such as the smile in the 7. I would have thought it would be best to either do this on all of them or none, but hey, greater minds than mine were presumably at work…

Also, check out some of the oldies…
