> The name’s very generic - a sister to News Now, sure, but they have a newsletter named [Tech Decoded](https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65786969), so why not that?

Decided to take things into my own hands after seeing the Click replacement [aired](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT1yZZmgsDo)… Based on their neon green block pattern they have in promoting [the newsletter](https://www.bbc.com/newsletters/zxh6cxs) in the UK, and developed an abbreviated symbol around it.

Some preamble around it can be like _When Click started 25 years ago, the internet was still in its infancy - hence the name that indicates our motion in getting onto it. Over the years, we’ve been on all technologies big and small - from smartphones to VR headsets, from fibre optics to 5G, from wind turbines to electric cars. And especially with the latest innovations coming in between the coding lines - blockchain and generative AI - we need to catch up with our name. They also generated a lot of buzzwords, leading to anticipation and confusion. You’ll need a looking glass to see through all the latest in this industry - and we have a new look to bring that to you. Welcome to Tech Decoded._  
(not ChatGPT generated BTW 😂)

The rectangle behind _decoded\__ was randomly inspired by how the colours inverted when highlighting the text, and the shade of red that might feel like tying to the main BBC News brand 😆

Kept a similar styling to the supers. Not sure about the symbol shaped like an app icon, though.

The redesigned credits and ECP, if they wished to do a cross promotion with their newsletter as a ‘synergy strategy’ or something like that. The more playful grid one is for overseas, while the domestic one follows a stricter branding accord. As for the former, I envision it to be like running through a ‘tunnel’, from the holes in the BD symbol, and leaving the ‘looking glass’.

I even mocked up the BBC’s programme profile page using HTML editor for the text!
