July 2, 2010 – With the 5th season of Big Brother Africa coming your way in a fortnight, M-Net has announced a brand new BBA logo to go with it.

Calling it a departure from last year’s gritty Revolution themed imagery, M-Net says this year’s logo focuses on light, reflection and shimmer.

BBA 5 is being produced by Endemol once again.

“With each season of this show, the eye has come to symbolise the essence of the production, the spirit of the series to follow. This year, the designers were specifically tasked to create an eye that truly represented the new series; one that was fresh and glitzy, simple but still dynamic,” says Executive Producer Marie Rosholt.

“In terms of using the star icon, which is commonly used to demonstrate fame and glamour, we felt it represented well how we feel about our audiences, our housemates, our new house and all those people that make Big Brother Africa a true African success. They are all stars in their own right.”

Once again the new house has mates from Kenya, Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The grand prize is $200,000.
