Revamped look for ABC1

I've noticed today that ABC1 has had a mini-revamp to coincide with it going 24 hours.

The actual ident animations are basically the same - but there are significant changes:

Arrow The idents have a new theme, with a revamped version of the ABC1 chimes at the end. They are also have a bright white background, rather than a cremy colour.

Arrow The idents in between programmes are now longer once again

Arrow The Next / Then / Later trailers not only incorporate the new theme and colour scheme, but now have clips from the programmes rather than the voiceover.

Arrow The trailers have been revamped, with more of a gradient on them rather than blocks of colour. Same basic layout though

Arrow Finally, I think (though didn't watch long enough to confirm) the way they show trailers has been changed slightly so we have a trailer at the beginning and end of each ad break - rather than a couple of minutes of trailers followed by a couple of minutes of ads!

If you were interested, there is discussion in this thread.

Anyway, I don't like the new music. The old version was better and the idents didn't last as long. But I do prefer the way they do promos now and they also have the day of the programme rather than just 'Weekdays'.
