2005 rebranding
 The BBC London logo used from December 2005 On 12 December 2005, BBC London revamped its look, and introduced a new version of the music.

The new look was critisied as inferior to the previous look, especially the new theme music. This style is likely to soon spread across all regional news output.
The criticism of the rebranding was very limited. The title shots change every single night to reflect the local landmarks that symbolise home for a potential audience of more than 11 million people - bigger than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland combined. In the summer the audience will be invited to submit their own images for inclusion in the titles sequence.
