Looks like I'm the odd one out. I think it's a good change, suitable for teens, but acknowledging that BBC3 exists. It does remind me of the Central cake though.
I agree, the use of colour, the simple graphics and the catchy tune work very well together imo. I don't understand why there's the two versions of the logo. The one used in the idents at least try's to represent CBBC rather than stripes.
The animation looks fairly standard, but it works well with the simple music. Though I hope that this isn't a new trend with putting the BBC logo in the upper left.
No sign of the studio yet. From memory it should have came on by now. Maybe they haven't finished it yet.

One of the idents in the set used up until yesterday featured Newsround's old "nr" logo within it. That particular ident was
never
either re-edited or withdrawn, even long after Newsround had rebranded.
As various idents in the previous set featured imagery from individual programmes' identities, I wonder how many other still-in-use idents were depicting outdated things (such as other old programme logos, former presenters/characters etc, or even programmes that were no longer being made/shown at all)?
Today's new look finally ends any/all such anachronisms.
