Just a quick set of ideas for the graphics when BBC News moves into New Broadcasting House. What I have seen so far from the news updates during the Andrew Marr show, the leaks on here, and the new breakfiller on BBC World News, have left me a little disappointed.
So here is how I would move from the current graphics, to HD versions. Hopefully they are cleaner than the current graphics, and are nicer in HD using the Avenir font (same as BBC Two) to replace Gill Sans. Swiss/Arial/Helvetica looks generic and dull, and does not fit the rest of the BBC News branding IMO.
Channel/Programme DOGs
Channel logo without enclosure
Channel logo
National News, News Updates etc
News Channel and Clock
BBC Breakfast and Clock
Newsnight
Straps and Captions
Newsnight - VT Package Title Caption
Normal Name Strap
Blurb Information Strap

Coming Up Event
Coming Up programme schedule

Top Graphics
Live Shot - With Local Time
Live - With Location
Graphic + Live - With Local Time and Location
Newsnight - Live with Location
Framing and Safe Areas
Graphics are designed to be 14:9 safe, for the HD feed, SD feeds could have separate graphics but 14:9 safe is pretty safe nowadays.
14:9
4:3
UPDATE:
Added video of my updated design
