Mmm.... nasty. And that logo is awful!


Any (video) caps of the titles and indeed of the tickers in action etc. please?

I really like it. I did think the set would be a bit bigger, but I have to say I do like the graphics.

Not liking the double ticker either, one slower than the other.
They got that from CNBC.

Alex Hyndman is on again now, the male presenter (not sure of his name) seems lower down than her on his chair, looks a bit daft. What is good however is that you can hear the newsroom and it looks very busy aswell. They both seem quite relaxed though, having a bit of a joke every now and then!

I like the simplicity of the sting, but then they go straight into the split screen format for the headlines and god, it's distracting.


Having the actual picture so low doesn't help too - I think you're naturally more inclined to look at the top of the screen and you kind of have to look around the screen to find the picture on this.

Two tickers is dodgy - but the main problem is the flipper thing at the top. It was always going to share many similarities with Sky Sports News - but that's a blatant rip-off - and a purely executed one too!

Agree with it looking very cluttered - set looks amazing though!

Are they broadcasting from the old 5 News studio? It looks very much like it!

EDIT: Ah - it sometimes pays to read the old posts more carefully Laughing

I love the set. If this was in red, this would work for a redesign of BBC World or N6. It looks like Jago did it.

Not yet seen the set but the screen is just backwards. A case of doing the opposite of Sky Sports News for the sake of it?

Don't know how they can be seen as "warm and friendly" with black and yellow and such a cluttered layout!
