As part of the BBC’s broadcaster-wide rebrand on 20 October 2021 and in preparation of its 100th anniversary in 2022, BBC Asian Network launched a new logo that incorporated letter in Reith typeface and existing circle, with the new 'BBC Radio' part moved to the centre left in line with all national radio stations. In case of the Asian Network, the letter "A" has been placed instead numeral and the word "ASIAN NETWORK" is writting in all-caps and using the corporate BBC Reith font.
