Still annoys me that look wasn't allowed to evolve - it was far better than the mess that followed it and is still undeservedly on screen a decade later.
The 2007 refresh was the best and would still look brilliant if it was on screen today.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I never liked any of the versions of the Roman-helmet look. They always seemed to lack spark to me: there was something a little too plain about them, though I can't quite my finger on what. The cream-red look before and the white-red look that followed appeal to me much more.
I appreciate that the BBC is a much larger organisation, but didn’t ITV manage to change to Reem almost overnight? I may be misremembering, but wasn’t the 2013 rebrand very efficient at updating everything at the same time? I’m sure there’s a technical explanation, but it seems very odd that it’s taken so long to start changing things over to Reith.
A new look for Victoria Derbyshire suggests it won’t be going anywhere for a while. Surely any potential saving from showing VD has been negated by cutting it to an hour?
I think it will be gone if not the end of this financial year in March then certainly the next (in March 2020) as to me cutting it back to an hour isn't really a good sign.

They surely wouldn't revamp the look just months after it being cut back to an hour if it's days were numbered.

It’s a massive redesign of a pretty key part of screen real estate.
Given that it has to work across two 24 hour rolling channels - all BBC One output and online - I would say that’s a pretty big (and fun) job.
2013 involved moving into brand new premises so is easier than doing it while things are on air and live.... like building an extension while you live in the house.... it’s always easier to build new!
Anyway - what do I know 😂 - I’ll just enjoy all the speculation...

Yeah they must be a reason it’s cut to an hour, it just looks odd in the bbc news schedules.

Your patience will be rewarded sometime in 2019.

Thanks for the info Chris. Would you be able to give some insight into the work which is being done - without giving anything away about what the result will be? For example, will the way the graphics work change, or is it just the way they look that’s changing?
Who is it in the gallery who adds the info which appears on screen, on the straps, the ticker and the pull back (if that’s what it’s called)? How much work goes into this and how automated is it?
How come sometimes things don’t align? Is this because it’s added at different stages? Will the revamp address this or is it something that can’t be easily fixed due to all the various inputs?
