Not sure the red sofa really fits with the colour scheme. Does the Northwest Politics opt look like that colour wise?

Not in the region so can't say how it aired but I suspect the purple chairs at the narrower end of studio was the set for SP.

I took a look on iPlayer and they did actually use the sofa for the first part of the opt, only moving to the other side of the studio with the chairs partway through.

On tonight's edition of NWT, i've heard the South East Today 2014 theme on their titles. I hope NWT will used their theme for titles.

Surprised no-one picked up on this but North West Tonight have started doing a little mini trail for the programme online on Facebook and Twitter, it features a rather nice version of the titles.

1. Correct and properly aligned logo
2. Correct spelling of "BBC One"
3. Actually looks good

Can we get the person who made this working on BBC Two? Razz

Question - should it be Gill Sans for the strap line? News use Swiss for body text (and is I think used for the story straps in the trail?) and BBC One trails use "BBC One". Shouldn't one or the other be used?

Gill Sans matches the programme title typeface - but looks a little dated - as it isn't really used for body text elsewhere on BBC One?

I think Swiss would be the better choice. I imagine it would complement Gill Sans better than the 'friendly' BBC One typeface, as Swiss and Gill Sans have both been used by News in the past.


Going into fantasy here now, but they could also do it 1997-style by having the BBC One logo in the bottom centre like during programme trails, with the times above it in the BBC One typeface (instead of directly underneath the logo like in this video). That might be too busy with logos though.

Keep in mind this isn't for broadcast only online, so it wont ever be seen fight next to anything with BBC One/News branding but its own thing, I think it looks rather nice, might prefer video rather than stills mind, but thats me being picky.
