BBC News Graphics

I've been working on these for a bit on and off, but I've finally finished BBC News on BBC One. The idea behind these is to use a similar style to BBC Sport, but using ideas from previous styles, for example the bar at the end of the aston was used in 2006. Also the colour scheme has reverted back to before this years rebrand, with white being reseved for text, full screen graphics, the ticker and Breakfast. So here we go...

To begin with we have graphics for BBC News on BBC One, with the previous sets of graphics the BBC logo has been on screen when the astons are on, but with set the Dog and Time would stay on screen for the whole programme.

Firstly we have the name straps, single lines straps will always be red, with double straps using red and black for top and bottom respectively:

Then we have the Live aston similar to the current graphic:

Finally there is the pictures from and date astons:

I have also started doing a News Channel version as well as a Breakfast version, which looks like this at the moment:

Good, it would be interesting to see these developed. I can't help thinking the astons are very samey and boring like what we used to have, I love the idea of the BBC Breakfast logo and time, but this may cause some trouble with simulcasts on the News Channel.

Try doing some more with World and some video if you can. Maybe incorporate a ticker into it?

Room for improvement. 3/4.

Err...why? It's the same as what they have now only a different design.

These are superior to the current, but you said they were for BBC NEWS on BBC ONE, so why is there a clock next to BBC NEWS (which also appears to be a permanent feature)? A constant "BBC NEWS" and a clock would be very annoying on BBC ONE I think.

I like these, but I'd change a few things - remove the 'emboss' effect from the DOG, ditch the clock, and narrow/centre them (I'm not a fan of that 'gong off the screen' style).

But a good start, with good potential.

I'd like to animate them, but I don't have any software to do this. If anyone could suggest some which is free, I'd be happy to make them animate.

that is good...
can you also make some mocks for the News Channel and the World News Channel? so that I can also see your idea for the news channels...

i like the gradient idea...
but this is for national news? or the overnight?

if national news... take the clock off.
i like the idea on breakfast...

3 out of 4... Room for more Improvement

I'd hardly call it an idea - as mentioned above he/she said it was like that of BBC Sport so not his/her idea.

He/She said above it was for BBC NEWS on BBC ONE so therefore the nationals. It wouldn't be overnight as that is just a News 24 simulcast.
