The Albert Hall is one of those baroquely Victorian places. (If you can say that.) You know; ornate, elaborate, greebly. And most of the technology they've thrown in complements it; the acoustic clouds manage to look like Alice Through The Looking-Glass mushrooms, the light supports and cables like cobwebs. A bit. Anyway, it all seems to hang together. In a good bricabracy way.
And then, slap in the middle, is the BBC (Proms) logo. Modern, simple, clean. Nice and everything, but it doesn't really fit. I appreciate the need for consistency and standards. But surely, sometimes, context is more important than consistency. Sometimes it might be better to fit in than honour the three-ring corporate identity binder. I bet the Beeb have got a curly, old logo knocking about they could use instead. Maybe something like this. Ben's said something similar here; let's stop worrying about consistency and make more greebly contexts.
