live at 5 with the sky news today backdrop and no wide shot at the top of the hour. Is it been presented from a green screen?

Anyone got a pic of the supposed new logo?

No, but surely it will be similar to this?:

I can't see them spending lots of money on a new logo when they have a perfectly serviceable one they've already made... unless, of course, they are changing the SKY to lower case a la Sky Sports, or the colours of the logo.

The top logo is what I am expecting from the description given, but without an image it is just a guess.

Taking that logo I think reversing the black and white makes the logo look better.

it was more like the top one, Martin, but with 'news' not in bold.

That's a shame, because I think the bottom one looks better.

Which paper was it? I might be able to get a copy of the logo.

I've had a look through, and I can't find it. Do you remember which page it was one, if you'd be so kind?

Has anyone else noticed the main Sky News studio output seems to be slightly "warmer" (in colour temperature)?

I thought that earlier actually but figured maybe I was just losing it! Certainly looks a different shade.

Any reason why Sky News at 7 seemed to be done from the island? It included a voice over with a wide shot of the island.

On the HD front, I've been told that there will NOT be any changes made to the newswall. They don't believe there will be any issues with blurring or with the dividing lines being clearer.
