Celebrity Big Brother on ITV1: Yes CBB is back with all the lights and pyro – but will Gen Z care?

It all started with the emojification of a once iconic logo. The Big Brother all-seeing eye was a Y2K design classic. But now, as ITV vie for the attentions of the notoriously-attention-deficient scrolling generation from every interactive bus shelter, we have a garish incarnation that’s been laid out by AI, but if AI was using Clip Art back in 1996.
