I can vaguely rememeber on live at five when they said 5 more reasons to watch live at five with the coming up stories beside the presenter (same idea as live desk) but at the time it looked awful on live at five
Something of interest I have came across from the months around the 2005 relaunch.
Anyone remember those 'box' graphics which were dumped about 3 weeks before launch date? Well I was surprisingly a fan of them, and I have found the website of the company that designed them, theres a video were you can see how they would look on screen, and I think that they look really nice!
It's good to see that video, as I'd always wondered exactly how they'd work on screen. But, after watching it, I'm sorry to say I think they did the right thing dropping those graphics before the launch.
On the straps, the bit on the left is too wide, and the bit on the right is too narrow. It looks like they're going for plain and simple, but have actually ended up with cramped and cluttered.
Wow, that first shot is amazing - the studio looks so big from that angle.
They should use it on air.
I wish they would reintroduce a overhead shot at the toth where the jib is not in use. Obviously the reason its not used from the Mezz, and probably the reason the Mezz is not used anymore, is because of those extra strip lights infront of it (which you could see today on Sky News Active). But theres plenty of other places they could use.
Im also surprised they don't switch the newswall off overnight to save a bit of money?

The final version of the 2005 graphics and that set are incomparable. The 'box' graphics are on a level with the 'cube' look of 2007. The globe background is nice and looks a lot clearer than the actual 2005 globe.
The boxes make the graphics look disjointed and the whole package looks a complete mess tbh. Thank goodness they made the right decision back in 2005!
I really like the music on that video clip. Was this a headline bed that they never used?
