Spot the GG logo!

by Ross Cook · in General Discussion · 03/20/2009 (3:17 pm) · 6 replies

So, I'm watching a new BBC TV show called Genius and the opening credits have a strikingly familiar looking logo. I can't find it anywhere on the BBC website and a Google image search has turned up a blank... but I've found the BBC promo snippet on YouTube. It's dotted around the set in various places. It's visible in the first couple of seconds, then again above the audience around 20 secs in.



I propose GG should launch a "Spot the GG logo" competition, with a GG t-shirt as the prize. (Coz I really reeeally want a GG t-shirt and can't get to GDC).

It says "this video is not available in my country or domain." :( Think you could do some quick screen captures where they use our logo...I'm really curious to see it!

Excuse the crappy quality, screencap of the studio from YouTube and a couple of photos of the opening credits on my TV (hence the banding).

EDIT: I'll get the hang of the GG markup lite eventually... fixed images.

Oooh, I should probably have said... it /isn't/ the GG logo (obviously), rather a very similar logo. Sorry if there was any confusion. :)

Nice!

You'll note that Garth Brooks' also copied our style.
