Big Brother: The iconic show is coming back but its new logo leaves fans confused

Big Brother is an icon of reality TV. It was on air for 18 years between 2000 and 2018. If you’re not familiar with it, the concept is quite simple. A group of people are put together in a house removed from society with cameras and microphones recording continually. It is based around George Orwell's book 1984.

Throughout the competition, housemates nominate each other for ‘eviction’ and viewers decide who leaves the house. The format was used all around the world and really launched the era of reality TV which we are still living in today.

Now, 5 years after being removed from TV, Big Brother is coming back and fans were given a peek during the Love Island finale. However, one thing is leaving them a bit confused…

ITV reveals new trailer for Big Brother

During the highly awaited finale of Love Island, fans of the iconic franchise were given a sweet little gift. ITV aired the first snippet of the show. The clip which you can rewatch on X (formerly known as Twitter) doesn’t reveal much.

There is no look at the house, just a lot of elements that are sure to mean something. For instance, the pound sign refers to the money the contestants could win, the exclamation mark could refer to the drama that is bound to happen, the eye is of course about the cameras and the mouth is about the possible romance and sexy-time that can happen throughout the run of the show.

The only thing we can comment on with certainty is the colour palette chosen for this new season. The channel has opted to go for very bright colours that evoke juiciness – just the word to describe this show!

Finally, the trailer ends with those words that are leaving us desperate for more:

The new logo is leaving fans confused

Once the excitement around the new trailer subsided, fans of the show took to X to express their confusion about one thing: the logo.

Indeed, the logo for Big Brother has been through several massive changes through the ages. What differentiates the new logo is the fact that there are a lot of elements to it that are also mixed with the bright colours we mentioned above. And fans aren’t happy about it.

One user says:

Not too late to redesign that eye, feedback isn’t great, otherwise than that, looking forward to it

And another:

I’m a little speechless. What happened to this show back to basics? I thought they’d at least start as they meant to go on & began with the iconic eye logo, right?? This eye is like they had 10 mins remaining, threw something together & this is the result. 🤷

However, as much as the logo is leaving fans confused, most comments share their excitement about the iconic show coming back!
