I think the new graphics set is a great improvement on the last, which I wasn't too keen on anyway. The design is much better, and today it all looked very nice all worked well together. When the Cardinal was on, the phone graphics and background looked great and was just the refresh that I think it needed.
Also, I like the new titles. It's a shame the shwoosh things aren't used a bit more though eg. in the projector background and sports stings.

I also think that this is a step up from what it was before, I am pleased to see the globe back a la the second generation ident set, but I still have my doubts over the 'fan' surrounding it for the title splash.
It's also good in my opinion that they are finally making use of the entire width of the available screen space. Stopping some way across on astons wasn't doing it for me.
The one thing that is really annoying me at the moment however is the overlay dog for breaking new, they have this new ident set and it seems to have been dropped on there without so much as a thought; a la

If you'll forgive me the posting and artwork injustice, I think they could at least tidy that up a bit in line with the new look. (I know it's outside of the safe zone, just doodling)

Has anyone else noticed that they almost seem to be using Arial?

It's always good to see David Lowe evolving the theme set, and the faster TOTH is a decided (and much needed) improvment.
Now to get some design quality back into the set *shivers*

The "standard" BBC font has been Gill Sans since 1997, and although they're beginning to move away from it, the [B][B][C] logo and a few other bits'n'pieces are still GS - and much of the stuff in that screenshot (though not all) looks like GS or a close variant to me.

Just to show you, this is what I can see, roughly, though the bottom is a bit higher.
