TSB merged with Lloyds Bank in 1995 to form Lloyds TSB, but today sees a return to the TSB branding across more than 600 UK high street branches. Approximately five million people will have their accounts transferred to the brand.

The BBC asked me to comment on the new monogram.

Where a logo already exists, you rarely need a completely new design. More often than not, a subtle refinement will bring the logo up-to-date while keeping the equity that’s already there.
