At last, BBC News have gone Swiss on the national bullitens. This is in the astons but not the LIVE aston.

Is this a hint of the nationals moving towards a N24 style look?

It must be my eye sight, I only realised yesterday when i had to get close to the telly to turn it off. the fonts really aren't that different anyway.

As the national seems to be getting rid of gill sans, is it still used on the regionals?

ps. what a waste of money using Helvatica, if it was only for a few months. why didn't they just go straight to swiss?

please explain how it was a waste of money, from changing a setting in a Motto from one font to another. It must have taken atlease 5 minutes of an engineer's time. A vast expense!!!!
