This is a brilliant thread - thanks, everyone and especially VMPhil and Mike for their insight here.
When thinking about 'family' branding for the BBC, I'd like to give a shout-out to the briefly used 3D blocks which came into use in 2007. I think I'm right in saying that it was used by Worldwide for the start of DVDs etc, and it replaced the ribbon ident in that regard. It only lasted until 2009, though, when the purple identity came in. Can anybody remember if it was used for anything else?

On another note, I'm visiting my parents this Easter week and I've spotted that their recently received issues of the BBC Music Magazine (a licensed effort from Worldwide - not actually produced by the BBC itself) no longer has the purple box around the BBC logo, which it carried since that purple Worldwide look came in in 2009. Has the purple been dropped now that it's all become BBC Studios? I'm probably quite late in the game noticing this one!
