I've just posted in this in the other thread about the new eye. Along with the Q&A with Daniel Eatock which accompanies that article in the actual paper.

Here it is again:

Q&A with eye designer Daniel Eatock in The Mirror which accompanies the article below in todays paper.

Was the more colourful approach an attempt to soften the shows`s image?

BB embraces all colours within the spectrum, opposites, complimentaries and all shades in-between.

How would you describe your new design for the logo for BB8?

Centrifugal Inter-locking RGB Rainbow Test Card.

It`s brighter and more fun than previous idents - was that a deliberate plan?

The colours are very specific to the TV test cards that used to be broadcast to enable television cameras and receivers to be adjusted to show the picture correctly.

Are you excited at the prospect of seeing the logo everywhere in the upcoming weeks and months?

Yes

How long did the new design take?

The blink of an eye.
