Newsround is a BBC Childrens' production, but is staffed technically by BBC News resources for studio production and picture editing.
Basically they use the same facilities as BBC News, but they have their own reporters and production team who work for BBC Childrens'. Until relatively recently it was directed by a BBC News director, but it is now directed by the programme producer.
Newsnight is BBC News programme, but used to be part of BBC Current Affairs (who also produced Breakfast Time, Nationwide/Sixty Minutes from Lime Grove?), before they merged with News (who were based at TV Centre) to form News and Current Affairs, which was then shortened to BBC News. Newsnight has its own dedicated production team, based in a different newsroom, and is still deemed nominally to be a current affairs show, with a different agenda/style to the main BBC One/Two news. It will run more in-depth, featurey, reports not directly related to the 'breaking news' agenda of the day. It therefore has a different brand to reflect the different content of the show, which as Steve says, it is pretty protective of!
(The old Newsnight Wales and Ireland opts were more in the corporate brand, and the remaining Newsnight Scotland opt is also a half way house, as it comes from the Reporting Scotland set, but with moodier lighting, and different graphics!)
