I dont think its the fact they have brought in a uniform look, more the fact that they feel the new look isnt as good as the one previously used by CNN International.

…and finally

This will be my final post here.

I am proud to have been here from the beginning (with an older account and a lost email later). I was an awkward closeted teenager, who thought he knew everything, and was somewhat obsessively interested in TV graphics and animation.

Engaging in conversations here, reading information from insiders, and realising I had so much to learn led me to college and university studying design and animation.

I will thank Asa again, throw in an awkward way of writing SKY | one, sky(news, skyNEWS and sky@travel, and post the earliest reference I could find on the wayback machine, of my time with TV Forum.

A Red and Cream Tribute - BBC News 2000

Firstly I want to thank @Bail for inspiring me to take the opportunity to do some animating during the current situation. And I know its a few days shy of the actual anniversary, but 20 years have passed, and these original titles and graphics were a big influence on me, and the future skills I would learn.



So following from my earlier BBC World Countdown and Titles animation I did, I had wanted an opportunity to try to turn my hand to News 24's countdown. This anniversary was the opportunity to try my own take on re-creating these iconic graphics.

Some things to note...
I moved slightly away from the more yellowy cream colours that you see in lots of the screen grabs and low res videos - I tried to use the more pure cream colours from stills I found by Lambie-Nairn, the studios, and the 2000's BBC News website .

I added details that could have been there if it were not for the lower resolutions at the time.

And following conversations about the digital/mechanical nature of the elements used originally - I added some subtle camera shakes and some depth of field to the Globes, Discs/Ovals and Maps.

Nine O'Clock News titles added here
