Is it me or have some of the font styles changed, particularly the "In Breif" astons. I don't know if I like the Blue/greyish business ticker.


Is any one able to get caps of the new ticker..as it is not avaliable to me. Smile

Anglia (West)

Look East (West sub-opt)
I'm sure the clock is slightly larger than it used to be. The fonts in the ticker have altered slightly. Between ticker items a faded out B B C appears in the usual logo form. Can't say I like it really at the moment, reminds me of a few dodgy mocks I've seen here.

BBC World's astons seem to have changed aswell. The transparent part seems to be more transparent today than it used to in the past.

Can't see N24 at the mo and the caps above don't get through work's firewall so...

What ticker colours have changed, someone said it's changed from orange but the ticker's always been blue with an orange bit under the tower.

The text in the clock appears to have been changed from Gill Sans to Swiss721 and now matches the new clock on Breakfast. Looks like the ticker text is using a heavier version of Swiss than previously.

Likewise I've yet to see it on screen. I'll reserve judgement for the moment, although I'm worried that News 24 are doing back to their old tricks of unnecessary titting about their graphics at random intervals which resulted in the nasty mess they made of their last set of graphics.

Right, I've just seen it and more's changed than people have reported here!

The normal dark red banner is now breaking news red all the time! So the question has to be, what colour will breaking news be now - if it's changing at all?

From the pics above the ticker hasn't changed colour, just BBC logos added.

EDIT - News just breaking about Lady in the Lake and no change to colours. So why are the normal astons bright red too? Is it a problem or a change. If its a change I don't like it.

One would have thought that the white banner that is very occasionally used for 'coming up' would have been suitable for breaking news - surely changing from red to white would make you pay attention?
