And how they used to look like last month (IMO, they shouldn't have axed the "N" logo, but everything else is an improvement over the previous look):

CBS Evening News from October 1991 during the Anita Hill hearings. The new theme music debuted about a month after this.

Wow that new theme is brilliant. Gives the BBC News theme a run for its money. A really nice signature and nice modern feel but still important sounding with the strings.

I agree! The visual rebrand may look a bit standard (although it is definitively an improvement), but the musical reorchestration is a success!

I also notice that the new branding now uses the same colours as the sister news channel NTN24.

Keeping the stereotypical French news set I see.

BFM cracks me up. They have flipped (IMO) French style news on its head. Flashier graphics, some English titles. (Good Morning Business, Inside Business etc). And the formula has definitely been a raging success for them. Because they really carved out a nice chunk of the marketplace and shaken up expectations in a unabashed style. Well done to them with BFMTV, BUSINESS & PARIS. They definitely needed a new Business set the previous one is actually hideous. I hated it.

Just goes to show you dont have to follow the big marketplace leaders to make a name. Carve out your style and STICK WITH IT!

I like how they hid (to an extent) the PTZ cameras with the mullion of the monitors.

In September, Bulgarian public broadcaster БНТ (BNT) revamped its visual identity across its four television channels, and rolled a new look for its news programmes.

An edition of По света и у нас (Po Sveta I U Nas), the main newscast. Appearently, the colour scheme of the intro doesn't change according to the time of the day anymore. Noteworthy is the return to a melody used from the sixties to 1997!


The intros for the sport news and weather forecast received the same treatment.

As previously, the news branding of БНТ is cohesive with the rest of the channel's visual and sound identity. Many jingles and intros of the БНТ obey to the same principles of central rectangle and soft movement.

And to be complete with this, here is one of Intro Collector's intro history compilations.

Exactly! Standard microphones V.S. lavalier (clip-on) microphones... and anchor desks for debate at any time...
