I'm amazed that no ones brought this up yet! But on TWT they used the overnight dog and the astons etc were not animated. Then next hour everything takes on the look of news 24.... there ticker there titles without 24 but replacing that had the BBC WORLD logo and the BBC NEWS logo was on the bottom.

Also if its not just me but BBC Worlds dog looks like news 24s because to me theres has had more of an orangey color to it then worlds red dog andit just looked different to worlds normal dog.

Does anyone no if this is a breakdown with BBC Worlds graphics or have they gone news 24 style?

Thats all Smile

Yes - I noticed the updated graphics during the "European Breakfast" stint.

The titles are now red, but unfortunately, BBC World has not the foresight to update other graphics (such as stings, countdown, breakfiller) which are all still orange.

The ticker is much better now that it's not constantly stuttering along (although it still doesn't seem to me as smooth as tickers on other channels), and I think the black box works much better than orange.

So it's not a graphic update just they've installed the new version of TOG with smoother graphics.

I still dislike the red globe and silver 24. The orange was far nicer.

At the end of the opening titles they've swapped the place of "BBC WORLD" and "BBC NEWS". "BBC WORLD" is now in the middle of the screen and "BBC NEWS" at the bottom. Before it used to be the other way round.

Did anyone see the start of the 10pm CET News?

When the headlines banner came up- it read 'Headlines setup- do not touch' - was hastily removed- then came back twice?

They then gave up all together!

If that was an hour ago then yes I noticed that too. came back more than twice I noticed.

Anyway you can definatly tell that the Tower has changed and If im gonna keep seeing it then i'll be put off. And the red titles are not my thing Orange looked much nicer than the red. Oh and theres no special effect that brings up BBC World.. unlike how it used to bringup BBC News. BBC World just appears fast and rough. lol Smile

But why does BBC World appear in big, and BBC News at the bottom, surely this is a cock up in the software.

Yap, I saw the titles, the one over the globe was BBC WORLD and appears a little bit squashed. I was thinking "BBC World from BBC News?"

BBC News is the programme, BBC World is the channel, so it would be reasonable to see BBCNews in the middle and BBCWorld at the bottom, I guess. But I fear this is not a cock-up, in fact BBC News 24 also has the "24" title in the middle and the "BBC News" one at the bottom.

If they want to stick to the red opening titles (which I hope) they'll need to change all their graphics. They'll need:

Arrow new countdown
Arrow new break stings/network stings
Arrow new on-screen graphics (phone graphic, split screen etc.)
Arrow new idents
Arrow new breakfiller
Arrow new live coverage/breaking news sting
Arrow new break bumper
Arrow new closing titles

Did I forget anything?
