BBC News Rebrand - This Monday

Media Guardian have just published an article on the changes, and an image gallery. Most of the press shots we've seen already.

To me the titles look very amateurish - the fact that the BBC NEWS boxes are different colours and sizes, the duplication of BBC logos, the white and grey...

The only bit that looks good is the set, and that's because it's been done internally with them ignoring wha the idiots at LN told them to do.

LN have run out of ideas. Time to look somewhere else next time BBC.

Will it be exactly the same then?

I don't think people should worry too much about the BBC News logo being different sizes. These are just press shots. Stay calm, stop whinging, and wait until Monday.

Two things I do quite like:

The World News box is opaque when it's in front of the globe (by the way, now that this channel has a longer name, isn't it going to be abbreviated to World News as News 24 was abbreviated before - the opposite of what they're trying to avoid with the latter?!!). Shame the other boxes don't appear to be opaque.
Also like how the names are positioned in geographic relation to each other (Johannesburg at the bottom, Cairo north of it, Baghdad north-east, etc).

Is that pic of Huw in the new set real or a photoshop job?

Looks a bit fake. The lighting is all different.

Lighting for the 10 O'Clock news perhaps?

His face looks too bright in comparison with the rest of the studio.

I have a feeling that the translucent globes on the screens will animate, they change in each press shot.

They do, I just hope its slow and subtle.
