They've just previewed the new green generic set and the new 'ITV Central News' logo. In use from Monday coinciding with the new look ITV.

Could you describe the logo, and anything else which may hint to the new look?

Much classier than the current look. Should be good!

How does it animate on-screen?

the screen cap looks as though it is in 16:9, could this support the theory that ITV News will be going full 16:9 from this date?

It could be direct from source, rather than a broadcasted image.

The Sky One idents were made in 16:9 but only broadcasted them in 4:3 until recently.

Looks like a return of "Central News" type graphics! About time too...

Possible I suppose, although it's quite standard for designers to make titles/idents etc in 16:9 even if they only ever used in 4:3.*

Do we know where the image came from?

*Edit - MDTA beat me to it... also UKTV idents have been made in 16:9 at least since the late 90s.

A fun-packed Central News South tonight. Always nice to watch a true anorak, I mean professional at work... Wesley Smith, please stand up, you're bound to lurk here with the rest of us!

A new air route (!) between Oxford and Cambridge has launched - cue a 2-way between Wes and Anglia Tonight's Tim Curtis on the merits of their respective cities. Naturally that turned into an Oxbridge bun-fight.

Then some story on hats - our Wes sporting a frankly diabolical "ITV Central" hat. Come on Wes, bonus points had it been the Central cake!

Finally, he was telling us to stay tuned for "our new look" after the weather, sure enough Wes and Hannah perched in their new studio (ITV regional news with green lighting) and bus stop bench talking up their new look on Monday. All topped with a look at the ITV Central News logo.

Bless you Wes...
