Here's a quick idea I had for a new look BBC NEWS Studio.
I wanted to have a go at creating a news studio that included the BBC coat of arms like BBC News had during the 1990's and also include the color Blue somewhere withing the studio.
I haven't totally rendered these yet as I wanted to receive some feedback to see if it was worth continuing or not.

This is like taking the idea from the 1990s and imagining what it might have looked like 30 years earlier.

Not worth continuing I'm afraid - makes the local TV sets look like cutting edge design.

Thanks for your feedback and honesty Brekkie

Its a good creation, for TV 25 years ago maybe.

It just wouldn't look good and just be too dark to appear on TV nowadays

Thanks for the review HarryBNF,
guess your right it probably would look too dark on TV nowdays.

I just can't see what you were thinking - the 90s set looks a million times better than this, black/grey never really looks good, even with splashes of colour while the panel type set just doesn't look like anything we've seen on (proper) TV this century.

Doesn't fit in these times. The coat of arms seems like an ancient thing outdated now and the whole thing is too dark. Its like one of those "Tomorrowland!" shows you saw 30 years ago.

Looks very dated, far too dark and grey for the BBC News, or any news come to think of it.

It's clear to see a fair bit of effort has gone into this, and it shows, but the whole idea is flawed. Therefore I can only give you 2 stars. Sorry.

Bad, but it's a nice try anyway. Might get to grips with PowerPoint and see if I could BBC News Graphics.
2.5 stars!

Agreed, it looks dated. The coat of arms is probably unlikely to be used by the BBC again.
BBC's main colour is red. Grey seems depressing (imo).

Have a look at modern news sets. Try to evolve the 90's news set (getting rid of coat of arms and whatnot) to see what it would've looked like today.
2 stars. Have another crack at this.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Will take on board what's been said and head back to the drawing board with this one.

I would say though it's dated in this attempt, the coat of arms itself doesn't have to be - indeed it still looks quite modern in the 1990s clips even by todays standards. I think it would be used in a subtle way rather than front and centre, but it could work but needs to be in a 3D environment, rather than 2D on a backdrop.
