The regions have come out very well, although I'm a bit miffed by the BBC News box logo AND 'BBC South Today' for example.


It breaks the BBC brand guidelines to have the BBC logo twice too, apparently.

All looks very well designed and a natural progression from the ivory era (save for the box on the regional titles; a stripped BBC News would have looked so much nicer).

Oh and speaking of our four-sided friend, what the hell happened here:

So much for my 'at least there'll now only be one BBC News box' comment.


Looking at them, the box isn't even standardized - look at the size of BBC in the box on Wales Today in comparison with Scotland or NI.

I so totally love that! Yay for my region. I wonder how much of the original 99 set will be lift next Monday. Seeing as most of it is still there, one of the few regions with cream left.

The BBC logo in the BBC News box is all different sizes. Newsline is quite small, whilst BBC World News logo is very big. Wales Today BBC News box is slightly darker.

Disappointed by the look of the regions - what a waste for the North West. Our current titles are great.

If everything is being branded as 'BBC NEWS', why the need for the BBC logo before the regional names? Seems a bit silly to have 'BBC South Today' and then 'BBC NEWS' under it.

And why (as has already been pointed out) is Wales Today using a different version of the BBC News box with a much smaller BBC logo?

I think these images are generally a bit bland to be honest.

I can see that there are some remnants of North West Tonight left in there. The circles in South Today remind me of the circles from NWT. Is there too much white??

Why can't they get this right! They haven't got a clue.

These are just the endcaps from the titles, hold judgement until Monday!

I do hope that if the music has been completely changed that they've asked David Lowe to do it again - it'd be a shame to lose his news expertise!


It's been confirmed that David Lowe's music will still be used. No word on a possible remix / update though.


Like the design, they're a refresh of the themes you know and love. Apart from Nations that is....

They've more in common with the 8pm update though. Wink

I also thought the lines joining the place names remind me of the NWT titles.
