BBC News - Custom Design

Impressive, love the '99-esque countdown. I preferred the graphic ones compared to the live action ones we've had since.

Not wishing to threadjack, but this must be the week of seeking inspiration from older designs as I was coming up with a World 2007 inspired graphics countdown. Merging the post-climate change world with the 1999 elements and countdown...

Oooh!
I thought you said something else, though, and I was going to say that any similarity between your design and mine is purely coincidental! 🤣

But, after reading the comment again, your design looks really good, and I don't mind that you've thread-jacked: I'm also surprised that someone has been inspired by me, to send this, in a way!

Nothing radical here but nicely done and interesting to see how it progresses. Certainly doesn't deserve to be faded out.

I am liking your progress in this design a lot. I'm very impressed. I hope it inspires you to do something really great with it.

I would like to see you do some work on the titles please. A solid redesign of them could make people very pleased with it.

Now, did you think I was going to leave BBC World News without a countdown? Not really! 😂

To make it different from that of the BBC News Channel, everything has changed: the main timer is in different hues of red, the map of the world has been moved, as has the text. I also added some new ones, with the channel name mixed alongside its sister and overall subsidiary, in a way.
Even the crescents have changed colours, too, and all of this, I hope, makes for a good design idea. Also, you may spot the reminiscence of this to the original 2000 ten-second countdown, back when World News was just BBC World...

I hope you all like it!

Love to concept of BBC World News' Countdown being a mirror image of the BBC News Channel one. Very 2005-esque.

Love the countdown, how did you make the bbc news text go like that. I know it’s decoding I’m just a little stuck lol

Actually, it isn't decoding, but rather, typing "BBC NEWS" and "BBC WORLD NEWS" with most of the letters jumbled up, put in different places, and some of the text boxes have been flipped horizontally and vertically.
It's rather simple, I have to admit! 🤣

So, having thought about my design of the World News countdown, I started to think "What if they brought back the break filler?", and, as well as that, "What would it look like?"
I asked one of my friends how he imagined it could look, and he suggested the 2003-07 style. Now, I wasn't sure about it, at first, since I prefer the 2000-02 look, but he thought it was too simple. So, I decided to get to work, looking at reference from YouTube videos, and also, trying to use the colour scheme for my design, and the News Channel look which I've adopted.



Now, there used to be a link for the world news, on the top right-hand side, but I got rid of this, having shortened the main bar to fit the information screen. I think it looks better, but then again, others may think otherwise...


`
By the way, some of these information screens are blank, because you could imagine what the text would be, and the general idea for the round diagonal corner rectangle's text.



For the weather round rectangle, I decided to include MeteoGroup's logo, since they are the main provider of the BBC Weather's on-screen graphics, so, it felt only right to do so. Also, this is where I decided to take a leaf from the 'Coming Up' menu of the 2000 look, since it would have been a tad complicated, in my opinion, to figure out the individual countries' timetables of programming, so to say.





Now, I have issues with the "On this day" rectangle, since the information text appears to be wonky, in places - this is due to WPS being a little complicated, and I tried my best to rectify this oddity.



Now, this is one of my inventions for a new topic, although this could be changed, upon your suggestions and feedback, if necessary.


With the usual disclaimer that feedback from everyone is welcome, I hope you like this!

(P.S: This comes under my custom design of BBC News since the World News channel is the sister service of the News Channel, and owing to the fact that I designed the World News countdown - as I said, I didn't want to leave it out, and make it seem inconsistent with the NC.)

I think the breakfiller thing is alright, except for the rounded corners you gave most of the panels

Not sure if those latest mocks are intended to be something for today or something for a few years back but although quite nice that style does feel somewhat dated.
