The ending notes are familiar, was that from a previous version??

Yep, previous version and before that Jon Craven version Wink nice that they've kept that.

The whole new look is horrible, very cheap looking too. Shame they've ditched the 'nr' logo. They've essentially replaced something polished and well known for something much worse imo. And did they nick the desk from the mock breakfast /nwt set? Wink

There is two things that annoy me.

1. The set is not equal nor lines up or fits together well. The right side is to heavy and the right edge is not polishes like the left. It just stops. The screens kind of mess the balance up. The overall look of the set is ok just how it all came together.

2. The fact they did not relaunch the website. Surely they could have made slight changes for the mean time? Now they got two brands in use. *shakes head*

But over all I like it. Love the graphics. Fells fresh and should have been done when Newsround moved to Salford in the first place. Well done to the team.

I love how the end music seems to be one track instead of a bed being played and a sting crashing it , its the simple things ..

Why do they need that sofa and desk if the presenter spends nearly the whole bulletin stood up?

Presumably for guest interviews.

Huge improvement on the graphics and theme tune, the set is less of an inprovement. Certainly well over due changes, and overall I think it's quite nice!

Nice report about the new look here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/29587621

The links below the logo on the website happen to be in the new font, despite the home link using the NR symbol.

In fact, the website did relaunch - it just did so too early! Looked a bit different back in January.
