Okay, made me smile today about how many ITV News mocks there are on the front page of The Gallery at the moment. And this is something I've been working on a while. Before anyone says anything, I'm well aware that these designs look similar to my last. But I wanted to develop them more, as well as try something different.

I only have a Pre-Titles shot and then an endboard at the moment, but will attempt some more if anyone wants me to. The basic idea would be to evolve the opening sequence, opening each bulletin with the first shot of the globe in the centre, with the BBC logo below. This would be rotating, with a simple chord, quickly adding 'beeps', with drums entering the opening of the program, with the presenter(s) in-shot saying welcome to BBC News at ** O'clock, I'm.... before the opening titles or sting. Then the headlines and a final short sting/stab at the end.

Bit of a ramble, so here are the images Smile

Six O'clock endboard. (Thinking about changing positions of the globe for different programmes, but unsure.)

Let me know what you think!

Very nice, but not sure about the size of 'NEWS' being the same size of the BBC blocks, also the glow around some of the text. Smile

As always, I like it and think it's very good and I think moving the globe could work, but I'm not sure. However, I too am not sure about the glow around some of the words.

The whole logo and programme name is great. Love the fonts, format, position and all. However, there are too many coolours in the globe. But a great development on the old ones (they were still great)! Cou,d you please to some astons for us to see the colour scheme work onscreen!

I can't help feeling the first image, with a little work, would make a rather nice BBC One ident, albeit in a slightly retro style.

These look great, and I agree - the first one would make a great BBC1 ident.

I think the globe needs to be higher up though, so that its more centered between the top of the frame and the top of the BBC logo.
