A new look was introduced on September 3rd, 2007. The new look was created by Red Bee Media, who made the brand identity accompanying the new logo and Fallon, who designed the trails used leading up to the new look's debut.[1][2][3][4]

On September 10th, 2010, CBBC updated their idents so that the logo appeared in 3D. New graphics first appeared in 2013. The HD simulcasts for both CBBC & CBeebies were launched on 10 December 2013.

Cbbc-logo
Designer:  Red Bee Media
Typography:  Custom
Launched:  March 14th, 2016

This new look was created by Red Bee Media and took effect on March 14th, 2016. The new logo also came with a redesigned studio. This comes more than two months after BBC Three's rebrand (which shared the same bandwidth) and one month after its subsequent move to online-only. This allowed CBBC to extend its broadcast hours. While the BBC admits the new look doesn't overtly suggest the name, nor doesn't it have the traditional look of a children's TV channel, they state this new symbol is a '"colourful and versatile identity that is box fresh and fit for purpose in a mercurial and constantly shifting media landscape".
