Well I seem to remember someone recieving an e-mail from someone at BBC News saying that there were new titles on their way, at least to the national programmes. I'd imagine there will be new titles for News 24 at the same time, to fit in. And the relaunch of the channel would be the ideal time to start using the new style titles on all of the BBC News output.

OK, BBC News isn't exactly renowned for its logic in rebrands/titles/studios/graphics/everything, but I think (and hope!) that they have thought this one through!


They've had long enough!

Will the BBC One bulletins get new titles?

and maybe this one is pushing it -

Is the logo shown on the plasma screen at some points in the 1/6/10 bulletins any clue as to the new look?

I hate to sound sceptical, but I think people should take "24 rat's" (with his/her 7 posts) with a little pinch of salt....slightly too keen to divulge information if you ask me.

The BBC One bulletins will almost definetly get new titles, they're long overdue.

and

Perhaps, it does look quite similar to the daytime titles, perhaps BBC News is taking this route.

In which case, god help us, how can orange ovals be classed as titles?!?!?

Also, can we read anything into the recent new looks for Breakfast, and to a lesser extent Look East?

I'm wondering how BBC staff know how the set will look - are there set drawings available or has a model been made?

So will it be one of those 'wow thats impressive' relaunches or 'oh dear theyre just not with it'... ??

I'm inclined to think that it will be a good relaunch because, as mentioned by most, they have had plenty of time. BBC News 24 has had a lot of criticism so a lot on the future of News24 depends on the relaunch + they have had plenty of ideas from various sources such as this forum, Sky News (no doubt) and designers i guess!

It depends. I assume even if the beeb were to go down this route, I assume there would be more than blobs for the long titles.

Either way, they should bring back the transmitter and thunderbolts! Wink

Its possible the logo on the projectors are just a stopgap until the new titles debut, as the old titles wouldn't match the new nationals set.

It would be good if someone sets up a time-lapse camera in the corner of the room so we can see the construction of the new set, a bit like the time-lapse video of the making of the old corporate set.

[quote="c@t]I do hope they just drop the "BBC" from it all and start calling it "News 24", it sounds so much better.[quote]

Why should they? The BBC make the channel, and so should have their name in the channel name. Would you prefer that ITV News Channel became the 'News Channel', and Sky News became 'News'?
