Best music, yes. Best colour scheme, yes. Best logo and titles, nah.
I don't know what it means but for me it's the best opening and music the whole BBC News output has.

Doesn't click with me either on the above slogan imagery.
While on the related topic of the breaking news filler, I found it good for it to play on the display screen beside the presenter, without coming on full-screen to the viewers. I saw this being done (not sure if it is intentional) over 8am slot just now. It looks okay, but when it comes on full screen as previously done (probably still is), it is too exclamatory. I would say having the sting music playing along with the filler being played next to the presenter is suffice.

wasn't this discussed before? i hope someone could look for that post again...

It's designed to represent the internal machinations of global politics, and how (to most people at least) it can seem indecipherable. As the titles form up to the word "Global", it represents how the BBC can translate such incomprehensibility into the English language, the de facto broadcast language for international news, the essence of the BBC.
The strident strings playing in the background represent the strife that exists within the political structures of the world, as well as the strife that is immediately visible and overarches a good proportion of the world. Simultaneously, it represents the urgency of the news that BBC World News is presenting to the viewer.
The words "with Jon Sopel" that appear at the end of the titles is a representation of the host of the show, Jon Sopel, and how he will be part of the programme called "Global", and yet is also a prominent part of the programme; more prominent than other presenters of the various strands that exist within BBC World News.
Jon Sopel's visage and embodiment appearing after the titles is an illustration of how he is presenting the programme in not only vision, but in voice, such is the medium of television. It also demonstrates to the viewer that if the BBC can tell the truth in the titles, it will also be presenting fact to the viewer in its news content.
I've always found the Global title sequence really confusing...what is it? To me it just looks like a lot of grey pipes forming and the camera moving and animating about. I understand, to an extent, the titles for the other programmes.

What do the Global titles show? It just looks like the camera zooming around space with untextured pipes from Google Sketchup.

Essentially, yes, although Global airs one hour earlier than The Hub did.
Is Global a replacement for The Hub, Nik Gowing's program, when it became defunct post-NBH?

From my observation of the Breaking News filler: For example, in Newsday, due to the camera template they use where the London presenter is not shot with the TV adjacent to him/her when reading the news unlike regular bulletins, the old method of breakfiller is still used. That is, the fullscreen filler, followed by a banner 'Breaking News' superimposed under the screen.
On regular bulletins, they would opt for the fullscreen filler, followed by the filler being displayed on the TV adjacent to the presenter. However, I do notice sometimes the fullscreen filler does not appear, and they go straight to just having it on the adjacent TV while newsreader reads.
Also noticed a new modification: the Breaking News banner that's superimposed under the screen now features a glow effect running from the left to right. Anything that makes it less bland would be welcome I think.

Sorry but I'm just not a fan. It feels very un-BBC like. I like how it looks with all the red, and I wished the graphics were refreshed to look like that when they moved into Broadcasting House, but the Breaking News bumper feels like they hired away a producer from CNN who decided that it needed to look more urgent and eye-grabbing or whatnot.

I'm not sure about on World, but the News Channel use it every time the Breaking News strap comes up, which is very, very often. It should be used sparingly, otherwise it just becomes background noise rather than an alert which is what it's intended to be.

BBC WN does not use the Breaking News strap or the titles often; it's about as frequent as Al Jazeera English for the straps, possibly a bit more but not by much. Based on my memory, on average, most breaking stories or developments mentioned after the second bulletin are no longer considered breaking news.
