I think that may be because UTV have cropped it.


No it was actually broadcast like that.

And finally, the blue version which aired after this morning's 10:55 summary:

Yuk. What were they thinking?

I thought "Right Content" was what a Yorkshireman declared himself to be as he sat back after a good dinner...

Fantastic new endboards, much more up to date and more exciting than the old blue still.

One thing that I like about these endboards is that the actual name 'ITN' seems more prominent. As the ITN name has been disappearing in ITV News programmes over the years, it is good to see more sign of them at least at the end of the programme.

It really does look awful after ITV News, but I think it looks very good at the end of C4 News as it just blends in with the predominantly white credits.

they ditched an iconic and well respected logo for something hideous.

It reminds me of one of the old ITN logos. I'm sure it was very similar to that (bolder).

This one by any chance Antz?

I think the intention of the logo and it's slogan are good, but it just doesn't work for an organisation such as ITN, it looks like the logo of an advertising agency rather than that of a leading News provider such as ITN.

I don't think it's right the way they're advertising themselves on their endcaps, no other Indpendent production company (or any in house) does this whatsover, I can't see why ITN is the exception. It's also out of the current ITV News look, the 10.55am bulletin ending looks bizzare now, from the blue going on green ITV News titles, to the bright white and some other bright colour for the ITN endcap, and the back to the blue going on green for the ITV Regional News. It doesn't look right nor does it fit in.
