The only thing that is good about the ITN News Channel's graphics are it's 'flying arrows' that are blended into the coloured backgrounds.

I think their music is outstanding. The graphics had great potential with the ITN lines->arrows motif, however it was put together in a very lazy way with something like Flash 3!! Their news is very hap-hazard too and I can't think why anyone would watch them unless Sky and N24 both had sports news on!

The launch graphics were much better, I may upload them if I have the time...
Were they different then? They must have changed them very quickly then, because its a very new channel.

Well I love ITN. As soon as I switch on the TV, it's straight to channel 525. I personally think that ITN's aston looks better than both Sky News' and News 24's, it looks really professional, until they add a silly yellow 'live' thing to it. Again I agree, though, the launch graphics were superb (the astons, background images on sport etc and keyed window were completely different), but don't forget that a bit of a revamp is on the way, probably on the 7th of January. We know that the keyed window is going, but I would imagine that the clocking changing too as it looks a bit empty without the URL!
And don't forget ITN excellent presenters, especially Leyla Daybelge, Rachel McLovely, the hilarious Owen Thomas and Martin Popplewell, they all beat the crap out of Sky and News 24's in my opinion!

A revamp in Jan, sounds Good, but will they become more mainstream with a better studio and two presenters.
Music is Great though!

A revamp? When was this said? Or is this the first stage in a long process to rename it the ITV News Channel?
BTW and Slightly OT: ITN News Channel uses lots of ITV1/C4/C5 footage when broadcasting but did you know they can't use them until the respective channel has used them? This is plain stupid! I mean, they make them in the first place!
