He was a presenter on BBC World News and its "Focus on Africa" programme. The Ghanaian President, John Dramani Mahama, mourned Dumor's death, posting on Twitter, "Our nation has lost one of its finest ambassadors".

In a statement posted on the BBC website, the television broadcaster's Global News Director Peter Horrocks said Dumor was "a leading light of African journalism".[https://www.bbc.com/sport/football bbc.com] In his last post on Facebook, where he has about 107,000 followers, Dumor said he was "looking forward" to interviewing a former South Sudan child soldier and musician Emmanuel JAL, in his television programme.

When it appeared, the continuity announcer would say "This is BBC Television." while the globe spun. 1964 saw the creation of BBC1 and BBC2 brands, with the distinctive horizontal stripes across the screen. More now than ever, merchandise was being branded with the logo, as more productions were being sold via the BBC's American identity, Lionheart Television. The mirror globe began using a more ornate font in 1972. From the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, the BBC1 channel logo used several different fonts, but with each change the logo remained blue. At this time, BBC logos were mechanical models filmed by black-and-white cameras.<br><br><br>Colour was added afterwards, electronically, rendering it simple to change the colour as needed. In August 1988, the BBC produced yet another new logo. Since the last one was made, a consumer brand was becoming part of nearly every TV station and corporation at the time. The BBC needed a strong and unified identity, and a change of said identity was key. Michael Peters was hired to design this all inclusive BBC identity for the corporation. They modified the then-current logo by sharpening up the parallelogram edges again and set them to an angle of 17 degrees without reducing the size of the spaces between the boxes.<br><br><br>They also sharpened up the text to make it match the clarity of the logo itself. The typeface used was Helvetica Neue. Also, under-logo lines were added to the logo for the first time. These lines were coloured blue, red, green to reflect the flags of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland respectively (an "English-bias" has always been a criticism of the BBC), as well as the three phosphors of colour television.

It was also appropriate to look at the way the BBC was branded, as the BBC was about to take off in digital television and the internet, among other different ventures. After seeing a number of problems with the then-current logo, he decided that a new logo was necessary.[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCj956IF62FbT7Gouszaj9w youtube.com] The logo was technically unsuitable on-screen. When shrunk, it lost the lines underneath and the counters and also, when in colour on a colour photo, it again disappeared or parts vanished.<br><br><br>Technically, the logo never looked comfortable next to the brand and straight letters. Finally, it was expensive to print as stationery would always have four-colour letterheads, and alongside other BBC brands could mean anything up to ten-colour letterheads and stationery. By straightening up the boxes and letters, it removed all the problems associated with diagonals and those associated with disappearing lines. This kept the boxes' shape, so that it would still be familiar with what people know about the BBC. The typeface used is Gill Sans, made by Eric Gill. It was chosen because, it was elegant, robust and has a timeless appeal: the typeface had been created 60 years before and so avoided the typeface looking [http://Search.Ft.com/search?queryText=outdated outdated] at a later date.<br><br><br>This typeface also eliminated the disappearing counters issue, as the counters of the B's were much larger.

Shortly after receiving its first Royal Charter in 1927, the BBC was granted its own armorials by the College of Arms. The British lion forms the 'crest' of the arms, and the thunderbolt it holds is a heraldic way of representing broadcasting.

Bypassing the hierarchy, one senior technologist eventually wrote a letter to the BBC Trust (the committee with governance and oversight responsibility for the BBC) telling them that they were not being given an accurate picture of the project’s true status.

Underestimation of complexity. Ineffective governance structure. Hierarchical organization structure in which accurate flows of information were actively blocked (see "Green Shifting"). Failure to conduct an effective tendering process when selecting the original supplier. Lack of contractor oversight. Overstating the benefits of the project. The use of a fixed price contract acted as a barrier that discouraged the BBC from getting too deeply involved in the design stages for fear of triggering change requests thereby nullifying the fixed price.<br><br><br>Cedric Messina persuaded the British Broadcasting Corporation to take on the task of filming the whole canon of William Shakespeare's plays for television, under the title The Complete Dramatic Works of William Shakespeare. Throughout the project, which was finished in 1985, the BBC was able to secure leading actors of stage and screen and also big directing names. Whether as individual dramas or taken as a whole, the series is impressive, to say the least. The play Edward III was not included in the series, as the balance of scholarly opinion at the time was that it was not by Shakespeare. Today, the decision might have gone the other way. All of these productions of the plays have been sold to dozens of countries around the world and are used in the world of education more than they are for broadcasting. The major plays (such as Macbeth andHamlet) are the most often repeated on television.

There was then a full ‘reveal’ with overt BBC Three branding and attribution. Before then the website featured a countdown clock (to the reveal date).

We considered that ads for Solasta Finance placed after the 'reveal' on 24 February, and which contained BBC branding, would be understood to relate to a BBC TV show. We considered that the ads which appeared before the reveal were likely to be, at first glance, understood to be for a business called Solasta Finance. We also considered that many readers, particularly in the context of social media, were generally familiar with the concept of a 'reveal', where initial posts might be mysterious or deliberately ambiguous.<br><br><br>We noted that some of the content referred in general terms to employment at Solasta Finance, and considered whether they might initially be interpreted by some readers to be offering genuine employment.

We considered readers would therefore understand that the ads were not traditional or conventional job ads and that that contributed to the overall impression that the ads were not what they might at first seem.
