I just caught a snippet of something, broadcast by accident. At the start of the London NewsHour at 2100 GMT, at the very start after the channel ident. When the shot of The Shard comes up - a new ticket appears, looks a bit like an Al Jazeera Arabic style ticker to me.
Here's a screenshot:

On the last Doha Newshour (1900 GMT) with the old look, Kamahl Santamaria had the honour of closing out the old look teasing a "few small changes" starting on the 2300 Newshour
He also tweeted his goodbye to the old news desk after its thirteen years of service
Signing off...

I’ve presented the news from this desk for over 13 years.

It’s seen revolutions, wars, elections, and everything in between... not to mention dozens of anchors from all over the world.
Time to retire her gracefully... look out for a lovely shiny new studio from 2300GMT

First shots of the new studio in this press release. Can't see a desk yet.

Quote:
The renovated newsroom includes a state-of-the-art studio set, décor, an expanded video wall and a presenter desk that rotates through 270 degrees with the enhanced lighting capabilities. This setup allows for camera positions to be utilized with shots back into the newsroom. In addition, on screen graphics will feature creative elements with new colour themes reflecting audience and Al Jazeera employee feedback.

Not really seeing a lot of change. The videowall looks a little different, maybe a bit longer, but not that noticeable really.
The music has evolved, and is a bit stronger than the original.
The lower thirds are definitely longer, 16:9 friendly rather than 4:3 friendly.
The graphics seem to be an evolution of the originals.
The one ident we've seen so far somewhat reminded me of BBC2's idents.
It seems that they have decided to add a standup position, and that actually seems to work.
The desk looks bigger, but not that significantly different. Still circular, and still using orange lighting. In fact orange still remains as a signature colour.
Is it me, or are the lower thirds Arial Rounded?
