We should all get into art; the standards appear to have dropped dramactically!

That is not the look of the channel...
The BBC have commissioned a contraversial British artist to do a sketch on napkins featuring the BBC Four Slogan, these will then be sent out as invitations to the BBC 4 Launch event in an abandoned factory in west london.

We know that they r just invitations but the design of the invite could be based on the look of the channel, they would try to make the invites look like their channel design, it's just logical. But lets just hope they don't, coz it looks terrible.

It won't have anything to do with the channel look - it's just a publicity/being different thing that they are doing. It sort of makes sense if they are going to be featuring a lot of high-brow/arts programming.
My main objection is that Tracy Emin is so old now. Her big 'contraversial' piece of work everyone knows about is her unmade bed which she did in 1999 - it's like Damien Hirst and his cows - several years old and everyon'e heard about them. In fact Emin and (I think) Hirst have even been on Have I got News for You - Exactly how 'Credible and cutting-edge' is that, I ask you.
If they wanted to do something like this they ought to use a real artist from now, not someone who was a bad-girl 3 years ago and has sold out as far as she humanly could.

Indeed the chances that the design on the hankies will have anything much to do with the look of the channel is probably minimal.
However, this does not excuse them. I mean... a naked woman squatting over a dog (with a bone in its mouth) - it's so crude and weird!!!!!
What the hell is all that about?
It suggests something quite tasteless (
L!VE TV
, anyone?), but the channel is actually meant to be high-brow. So why the dodgy hankies, then?
