If someone recommends you to change font to something other than grotesque fonts and Gill Sans, what would you try, Dan?

Arrow Frutiger
Arrow Whitney
Arrow Myriad
Arrow Avenir
Arrow Gotham
Arrow Neo Sans
Arrow Klavika
Arrow Ideal Sans


Gotham is a no no, unless it is always used in capitals..

OK, how to make some strike over the words?

And do you think Gotham won't work, even in the Narrow/Condensed forms?

By the way, what is in your signature? Wink

I know Gotham is in my signature, but for the news brief, it doesn't work. It looks slightly youthful and the Daily Mail would be churning headlines every day about how the BBC are patronising us and acting smugly about their 'TV tax'.

Narrow/Condensed is an improvement it has to be said, but still wouldn't go with it.

And Neo Sans doesn't?

Some updates.

The countdown, which would be based on time/speed again rather than reporters. The menu would disappear at the ten second mark, as in 2003.

On-screen graphics. Inspired by ABC Australia's current look. simple but different to the current batch of astons. Breaking is a bold yellow to attract attention. I'll add more after feedback.

Love the Broadcasting House shot and this is all in all a very nice package - and I completely disagree with the people saying you should stick to red. Astons very nice too - simple but effective.

I agree with 'Brekkie' a whole new look is needed, red is a very depressing colour and the way you have designed this is really bringing bbc news in to the 21st century.

Sorry to bring up an old design, but this is the sort of excellent stuff we expect from the Gallery.

5 stars Dan.

No, it's exactly what we don't expect from the Gallery, and that's why it is so great.

All I have to say that these new astons are just class.

The tones of the lighter Breakfast title aston do make an enlightened and much needed change to it. The colours for this is a little similar although much brighter. The eye in the middle of the globe is best kept out IMO as it takes up a lot of space.

It will look well IMO when in a HD studio environment.

Well Done. Keep up the good work! Very Happy

Okay so, updated versions of Breakfast & the generic endboards without the 'eye' which I hadn't really thought of as that.

Should I continue?

Reminds me of an old design I did...

They are very similar, but I don't think it is deliberate... Both BTW are superb.

Please continue with this! How would the opening titles look like?
