LOL - thanks for the image though, IMO that proves my point, just as in yours it proves your point. But hey, if a crowded red desk in front of a bay window is your thing, then so be it!
I think the general consensus from both fans and critics is the desk and platform lets the whole thing down - and I think it's time it was replaced.
However I think the election set shows potential for how they could revamp the rest of the ITV News output by making better use of the studio - basically replace the Whitehouse on the LHS with a view of the newsroom and then use the RHS as the "screen". As said then add a news desk, and then as the platform I'd have a clock face as ITV used to use in their CSO reports from the second studio.
News at Ten should keep it's own look, but be the inspiration for revamping the other bulletins by using the graphical elements of it (such as the stings) as the starting point for the revamp.
I think the main problem with using the atrium is the shape that they've had to design it to, and the fact that it's washed in blue.
I've wondered if it would be possible to create the illusion of the flat studio wall showing the atrium and then have the curved wall appear to be glass much like on News At Ten and the Election coverage.
The other idea was if they could create something similar to the old old rounded liquid news set, so add thicker white (as though they were lit up) boarders, and create a thinner wall that could display part of the newsroom or just for graphics. The idea to create a digital set, rather than to just have a wall, even go crazy and fake a full perspex floor underlit in a way that the original walkway was.
Saying that, a simpler option would be to use graphics only and have the pictures of the story across the whole wall.
Or even if they stick with the curved wall, how about creating a closer shot, and use the rounded part of the newsroom that features in the lunchtime news preview. When I saw them present the preview from there for the first time, part of me wanted the virtual studio to be broken so that they would have to present from there, obviously they didn't, and it was just for the preview.
Final point, but is it just me who finds the studio smaller, especially when looking back at old clips of the 2004 squares look to the studio? Maybe it was just the overhead shot back then. Though surely a view of something on the wall should add depth rather than bring it in?

I won't go on about the way the 'reflection' doesn't line up, that's something you'd only really notice if you were over analysing things *ahem*.
