I just realized that the graphical design that was utilized in July 4th and for elections to come have become significantly larger in size.
Take for example this screenshot capture. I mapped out the borders of each element in yellow lines, including the strap, main title, main ticker and the box.
That is then overlaid atop another capture from the previous design, and as can be seen, everything has increased in width and/or height.
The key takeaway from the current design is that the strap area has to be stuck with the logo. The previous design allows these two elements to standalone, giving some breathing room for the main video feed. That room could potentially decrease much further if these "next polls close" countdowns and two-line straps (as has sporadically been used while this special design was in effect) pop up again.
Speaking of the current graphical design, every CNN channel (apart from US and Intl) has been sticking with the old one. Wonder why a total rollout is not in yet after 41 days of current active use across these channels.
