Just some rough ideas, see what you think.

Just a quick mock of the BBC One news astons (not News 24), should I continue? They're similar to the ones used last year, but I'd like to see a return to this style, but with a slight refresh.

i quite like them. Good, clean, fresh and simple. I think though if you made them alittle more exiting i would like them alot more! Smile 2/4

By exciting, do you mean something like a gradient, or...

that is a good thing aswell, yes. what i mean is like as soon as i see the graphic, aston, headline or whatever it catches my eye imedianty (sp) and attracts my attention. You could do this by adding a gradient like you said, making it quite bright and making it stand out and just by making it nice and clean! Smile

The red is a bit too bright - if you stuck some sort of gradient (a transparent black-to-clear one) it could possibly look a lot better - I had that issue for a mock I for Seven News not long ago, and it turned out quite well:

(That's the pre-rennovation MCG, by the way, of Commonwealth Games/Cricket/AFL fame.

Yes they are a tad plain but it is clean and clear. Gradients may liven it up but there would be a risk of losing the clarity and simplicity of the design. Nice effort 3/4

Okay, I've now introduced a bit of a gradient, and changed the transparency of the black (though you might not be able to see it!)

Sorry for the rubbish quality (its because of the GIF format) but I've produced a quick animation to show how the aston would enter the screen...

Really like the animation. I hope BBC could use your design rather than the spreading stripe.
3/4 for effort.

I really like the animation - a lot better than the current! I much prefer having a plain [B][B][C] news logo rather than having it stuck on the bottom

4/5

That seems a bit sky to me. It reminds me of their 'NEXT xyz' thing

What can I say? It's simple, easy to read, and easy on the eyes. Its fine.
