Re: The TSB & Lloyds Bank relaunch news and information boar

The Oxford branch has gained temporary signage, with a wonderful addition of a bit of paper stuck on them saying "Temporary Signage".

Looks utterly dreadful!

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

I question how long QD will last now, as last week one of the two local stores here closed down, literally within a couple of days. I think it was announced on Monday, with everything being 50% off, and by Friday it was closed. Walking past you can see all the lights still on, even the tills still ...

Re: The TSB & Lloyds Bank relaunch news and information boar

Went into Ipswich on Thursday, the Lloyds Bank on Cornhill (the north one) has been refurbished with open counters (and fewer of them) but still had the old Lloyds TSB box over the new lettering! Strangly enough, I expected the Cornhill South branch to be rebranded as TSB (it originally was before ...

Re: The TSB & Lloyds Bank relaunch news and information boar

My internet banking has just told me that the Lloyds TSB to Lloyds Bank name change will be taking place in 'late September' - is that a second roll-out, then? (After the TSB shift tonight)

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

I got my Welcome to TSB letter the other day. Have Lloyds ones gone out too? Yep - got a snazzy booklet through the post at the start of this week. Lots of information of the bank's ethos. Snatches of the new font around the (newly refitted) Ipswich branch already, ahead of Monday's big reveal when...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

Returning to the long-discussed topic of the Lloyds/TSB de-merger, I got a snazzy booklet through the post this morning welcoming me to the new Lloyds Bank with a reinforcement of their ethos.

It looks like the CGI figures have been dropped from the branding - surely not?!

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

Went in in the re-opened Ipswich Cornhill North branch of Lloyds TSB today, and it's in the same style as all (?) new style stores. It's certainly the same style as the Oxford branch that I frequent when I am at uni. All the glass gone, low desks, fewer cashier points and the queue in a different pl...

Re: Another High Street Rebrand

The main Ipswich branch is currently closed for a refurb, so it will be interesting to see if it has taken on that design when it reopens later this month. Is it Lloyds TSB which has two Ipswich branches opposite each other? I know there's a bank which takes up two buildings opposite in town centre...
