There's also lots more stats on the site too, such as these little things at the bottom of every story which change: -

And they also have this - a funky little statometer that'd make Peter Snow proud.

The text on the banner used to be part of the image, but it's now rendered by the browser, so may look a little different.
The World Service's blue banner hasn't changed (yet).

There is *no* new font, it's the same as it always has been.

BBC updates website to push news branding

The BBC today moved to bring its news website more fully under its general news branding, as the corporation seeks to bring all its domestic news services under a single "BBC News" brand.
The website's banner name has now been replaced with the corporate "BBC News" logo - in the left hand corner of the screen - and more prominence has been given to live audio and video links, next to the logo.
Other changes include the ability for users to personalise news and a central section to allow people to navigate audio and video.
BBC News website editor Steve Herrmann said on the site's editor's blog: "We've added new banners and footers designed to promote live TV and radio news programmes better and to give more prominence to the different ways users can access news.
"Broadband use of audio and video is on the increase. BBC News has a lot to offer and we want the website to reflect that," Mr Herrmann added.
But users of the site had mixed reactions to the changes.
One BBC News online user said: "I'm a huge fan of the BBC News website and refer to it continuously ... in the past I've enjoyed the redesigns, but I have to say in this instance I'm not sure you've got it right. It's just way too fussy.
"There's so much gubbins about how you access the stuff, some of the types of stories that I used to see on opening the page have now disappeared off the bottom of the screen and I have to scroll down to find them."
Another user added: "I like what you've done. I especially like the 'most emailed' and 'most read' direction. This is a very 'Web 2.0' kind of thing which is definitely a good move."
A BBC spokeswoman said the changes were "not really about brand alignment" but about improving the site.

Do we believe her?
Why wouldnt we? Im not quite sure why MediaGuardian think this has anything to do with 'brand alignment'. It says 'The website's banner name has now been replaced with the corporate "BBC News" logo'. Well that apparently 'corporate' logo is now different to the one they use on tv - whereas previously they were the same. I think they're talking absoloute nonsense
