The new graphics are going to have to grow on me first, I'm certainly not a fan of the new lower third graphics, which quite frankly didn't need changing. I think the fade to the ident at the end of the countdown should also be changed, would be nice to have it more integrated with the countdown rather than a simple fade on.

I do like that new studio however.

The studio would look nice with the previous set of graphics.

Welcome back to 1999.

I was surprised to hear a rather simplistic bed used at the TOTH with a Thunderclap overlayed, simple is always the best, although a bit bland to what we have had since 2007s techno beats.

Whilst the titles are a beautiful development of the 1999 LN era, the set looks good, but the lower thirds are quite frankly vile.

According to The Times - The revamp gets a thumbs DOWN!

Quote:
Business news presenter Declan Curry promised to "put a pound in the swear box" after mistakenly telling viewers they were watching News 24, before correcting himself.

I like how they're using dots on the ticker, instead of the BBC logo. That always did look naff in my opinion.

This page has finally been updated - http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcnews24/listings/index.shtml?service_id=4352&day=today (no mention of News 24 in the listings anymore either).

Also, the BBC News 24 logo on www.bbc.co.uk/tv (at the bottom) is now a BBC News logo.

And BBC iPlayer has the new idents opening the BBC News clips (BBC News 24 also renamed to BBC News on there too).

Epileptic fits? Right yeah, because the strobing effect is so bad on those innocuous looking swirls. Confused

I like the new studio, it looks lovely.

The Titles are OK but I think they could look better

I don't like the astons. They are too plain. I prefer the last ones

But they are listed as 'BBC ... O'Clock News' when now it is 'BBC News at ...'
