I realise this is an unusual thing to say on a TV pres forum, but I actually find this opening sequence almost over-styled, busy, far too text heavy and just "over flashy". I don't watch GMB but was surprised it's like this. It's like someone went mad with PowerPoint transition effects, and set the timings so fast you can't read half of it.
At the "also on the programme" bit, (which would be better just read out rather than written on-screen), the wipes look terrible, fast left to right, but combined with the inserted picture becoming full screen, whilst the camera is also moving and zooming, then a few extra pointless flashes wipe across the lower thirds - it's got a horrible dizzying effect about it, and I am usually quite tolerant watching that sort of thing.
Even the ticker coming on has a transition with the date being shown for a nano-second. Pointless and just ends up looking too "busy" when combined with all the other stuff on-screen, a simple fade on would've done.
