In response to industry concerns about piracy, the BBFC started to accept works containing Digital Onscreen Graphics (DOGs) at the beginning of 2006. The criteria for acceptance was clearly set out in our Policy document dated December 2005.
Whilst this has been largely successful in achieving industry objectives without excessively impinging upon BBFC classification needs, it is appropriate to remind the industry again of these criteria, particularly regarding the placement of DOGs. Our criteria here is absolutely clear: "The DOG should not extend over more than the top 10% of the image, or over more than 25% of the width of the image from the nearest edge."
Please note that from 1st August 2007 we will be strictly applying all DOGs criteria as laid out in the policy which can be found at: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/news/stories/20051219.html
Works which do not comply with our criteria will be refused by the BBFC technical department.
