I think they should definitely update the titles and music - they will never completely change the theme as it’s almost as iconic as the BBC News theme, but a refreshed theme would keep it up there. A new set design too would be good. As they use VR they could pretty much change the whole look and feel with just changing some bits on the computer! Maybe adopt the Election type studio set up? I did notice an ITV News report about a month ago that Julie Etchingham was interviewing Joan Armatrading if I remember correctly and they used the Election VR set which looked really fresh - so they could easily adopt this for the main bulletins.
Finally, they could re-work News at Ten too with new titles and a new set. I agree with the other comments on here that the set and visuals still look good 7 years later, however; it doesn’t hurt to have a refresh now and again! Maybe they will seen as ITN is celebrating 60 years this year so might have a revamp for the new year to make a new era?
Guess we will wait and see! ITV introduced the new look in the 2nd week of Jan in 2013 so could do something similar for next year.

ITN have taken the path down the VR route and don't seem to be going anywhere from it. Since 2004, they have embraced the green screen world, and I wonder if there was another revamp or tweak, what would forum users on here like to see adopted by ITV News in 2021?
Should there be different VR backdrops for each bulletin?
Should there be a brand new music sequence, and abandon the News at Ten theme which has been reworked more times than a Doctor Who story plot?
Should there be a more dedicated look for News at Ten again, as was the case for 2008 - 2009?
Let me know. Thanks.
