Well that looks OK to me:

It's at least a bit better than the 'dark and sombre' mood of red and black.

I don't like that at all. Very disappointed. Site looks rubbish too - especially as the BBC News boxed logo is still there. It looks closest to Breakfast - my least favourite news branding. Crying or Very sad

Do you like anything? or do you just like to bitch about everything? I think its far better than the current dark stuff.

Edit: Just wondering Moz, thats all.

Looks a bit 'style over substance' to me so far, the screen looks far less 'busy' than before. It'll take some time to adjust to, The old style declares that we are in the news business this doesn't. It reminds me of the most recent CNN web relaunch. I dislike the lack of a separatable media player and the apparant switch to flash only operations for clips.

Stop being so flippin' half empty guys. I think it looks faultless, especially the new graphic on the right, that one would assume is in the new titles - I love it.

When are they doing the front page, and where's the imbedded video?

I quite like it, as said before, it looks so much brighter and fresher than the black and deep reds. It's a a shame that we have only small amounts to look at up to now, but it's something.

As an insider said somewhere, 'It looks better animated', so don't judge so soon.

However, i agree with comments about the header looking wrong, and the stupid live thingy, but hopefully, they are teeting problems.

Looking good so far!

I really like it, the new page layout works well for me, and that graphic is of course just a taster of how it'll look on air, and I'm a bit more optimistic now that it will look good. Agree the two BBC logos so close together looks wrong though.

Sport front page also looking good, less cluttered.

Its looks better in the centre (not squashed to the side), and the tab at the side with 'World, UK, England' etc looks much nicer in colour.

Tell you what, it's a pain having to go via the front page to get to news from the sport section (which looks great)

When do you reckon this will be implemented on-screen then?
