Arch logo on BBC???

(click it)
I noticed it while watching the program on TV (its more obvious on a bigger tv)
Behind her is the current (old) arch logo in yellow!
Any ideas?

No clue. But I'd slay demons for that little bit of yellow text right next to the logo, just after the mic...

Have you tried to get some image sharpening done on that to "recover" the text?

edit: BBC hates foreign people... I can't watch the show in Portugal...

Its just fake advertising on a TV drama sort of thing (BBC is public funded - no logo real brands allowed). It's not meant to have any meaning. I just noticed that the arch logo was used. And on full sized TV is is very obviously the Arch logo, not just a stylised A.

BBC doesn't hate foreigners... its just that british actually pay for the content with tv license

Anyway, i find it rather "unusual" that they would come up with something sooooooo similar...

...That in conjunction with what appears to be the Debian logo in the top right.

My roomates said they were going to get me rims for Christmas, or a CB radio so I can talk to other car beds; that'll be hot. Might get a stereo, too.  My sister said I should get an alarm.

If we removed the girl's head (still atached to her body, might I add... ), there would be a good chance of seeing this:

Duh, maybe  they just needed some logos for the shots and used freely available ones ...

Is that alright? I thought at least the author would've gotten a note. It's still copyrighted, regardless of license. Also, there's a certain type of CC where derivatives aren't allowed.

I need real, proper pen and paper for this.

I don't know. Maybe the authors know best and this is actually their business.

This is not really the most amusing thing around

Re: Arch logo on BBC???

That's really interesting. Unmistakably the Arch and Debian logos. Kind of one of those fun "easter-eggs" to find.
