To be honest I preferred the previous look. It's look more modern but as said above the reith font in the countdown looks wrong, the headlines are far too big and if on a white background it'll be impossible to read them, the titles and countdown are still the same which also looks out of place - the new logo looks like it's just been plastered on. I quite like the flipper though but not sure on the black bar.
ToasterMan and harshy gave kudos

How is the countdown ‘out of place’ if it’s using numbers in Reith Serif with the new Reith logo?

Can see now why sport news have gone with the BBC Sport graphics - if they're generated in Salford they wouldn't be able to have the BBC News logo moving up and down and so on, where before the straps were independent of the ticker. Looks really nice anyway.


They’ve been using the bbc sport graphics for score boards and league tables for years now so I guess it could be seen as making it more consistent with the sport bulletins, pretty nice in my opinion as I like the new sport graphics

The BBC News logo on the end board of the VD titles was still the Gill Sans version.

It's definitely evolutionary, more of a re-skin than anything else. I still much prefer The Nine's lower-third's though; new pres still pales by comparison.

I think it's a shame the Victoria Derbyshire graphics have not been tweaked to make them more like the News Channel ones, looking at it now

Hardly. Looks awful.

Why on earth are the VD graphics so far up the screen? I will never understand why they let that happen. Awful.

(I do know that they launched a while ago)

We finally got Reith! It looks pretty good IMO; will be nice when they refresh the titles (last time was 2014 and that just made them a bit longer).

7/10.

Not overly. They’ve got a black bar now which now serves no purpose at all.

They could easily get rid of that and put the social media flipper in that space. That would make it look a bit less stacked then it does now.
