Sky News | General Discussion

I really don't like the live tweets graphic. that little rectangle of white looks out of place and it would look a lot neater if they pushed the Live tweets text up a bit and had the box with the content match the window on the left. failing that just extend the background down under the lower thirds to get rid of the rectangle. Its minor but I don't like it

Someone forgot to change the logo on the screen behind him

The bigger screens have been updated

There's one screen between the two guests that earlier had the old logo but has a dialog box / window on the computer covering most of the logo up now - quick fix!

We're just having a bit of fun. I'm not outraged that they have forgotten to change a picture.

I've been waiting to see if there was anything new with the glass box presentation but so far they have not left the desk.

They're simply desktop patterns that haven't been updated yet because they're still running Windows 7. I happen to know that automation has brought a bunch of new software, including a new version of Windows, but that Millbank won't be getting it just yet, because VT edits aside, pretty much all the technical stuff that goes into producing the new-style programmes happens in Osterley at the moment, and the boffins understandably want to get that done and dusted first.

Windows 7 is capable of changing wallpapers. Obviously the IT Admin were not asked to provision the change to those machines.

Indeed not. It's fair to say they had bigger fish to fry.

It's easy to forget, and you are unlikely to notice it unless you are specifically looking. Sure it will be updated in time.

The website appears to still have the old logo - I thought someone had said it had changed for them?

It has for me. - as has the app icon. Suggest you clear your cache.

Behind the scenes at the Greenscreen

New morning/ nighttime studio at Sky News - my view from the desk. SJ is at the screen which is an immersive 180 degree green screen set up. Should allow us to do lots of snazzy graphics. pic.twitter.com/BnDkPCohGo
