I hope they do not mess ITV News presentation. The newsroom backdrop looks great, it just needs some modifications to it. I do not think it is possible for a live view of the ITN newsroom as part of their backdrop? Newsroom is too small, but something like the current look but modified. Plus, a dedicated separate look for News at Ten would be great.
By the sounds of the term cut out, I’m wondering if they’re getting rid of the sections to the main logo and using the whole shape that the sub channel brands use.
"Cut out" brings something like the old ITV Encore logo to mind to me.
It makes no more sense now to call it ITV1 then it did back in 2013.
It didn't make any sense to change the name from ITV1 back to just ITV.
There is no point having numerals in your channel names if you miss out the primary one. I thought it was an odd decision to remove the '1' in the first place.

ITV Encore had some lovely idents, and generally their pres was excellent.
It's failing was a business model that put a copy of an FTA channel (ITV3) behind a paywall on only one platform. Nothing could possibly go wrong with such an idea, could it . . . ?
This thread is going well. A refresh of ITV presentation is suggested & this thread has already replaced the announcers, rebranded the news, changed the channel name and brought back the regions.
Even though I think it’s unlikly to happen I would not rule out ITV becoming ITV 1 again. The new CEO is very keen for ITV to be more than TV (which I agree with). As ITV is the main company name they might want to make a clear distinction between a TV channel and the company as a whole. I would not be surprised in a few years time if the ITV hub is just known as ITV. So they might want to start now to make a clear difference for latter on so the public don’t get confused.
Also not sure if you have all seen James tweet giving a clue about the new look.
The 3D/abstract bit sounds interesting. I suppose they could have the different coloured sections of the ITV logo hidden away in an abstract 3D generated background, which then come/float together to form the logo. A bit like the 2004-2015 Channel 4 idents, but with CGI backgrounds. Or like the 1996 Central idents, where parts of the cake were only shown on screen whilst ball bearings and feathers were blown through the cut out sections...

This must be peak TV Forum.
By January this thread will be 50 pages long and there will be an expectation of everything changing across all ITV's channels, the news, the weather etc etc
Then there will be a very minor tweak and loads of people will start moaning that it's all a let down.
