Although it indeed shows a very Danish design mentality to it, DR has a much better corporate look, and this pales in contrast. DR's look is also more in line with its European counterparts.I understand. Aside from the redesign, 'putting main corporate symbol in a circle' is a really tired trend IMO, especially when they're relatively unrecognizable in taking the deconstructed route (ex Mediacorp)...
The regions are also gonna be a sore thumb sticking out too - just look at TV2 Østjylland, relaunched weeks before the rebrand was announced:

Powerpoint presentation at its worst.
Well... the regions are mostly standalone operations, although they do share some resources in content provision, for example, they provide regional reports for TV 2 Nyhederne national broadcasts, and the regional weather cut-ins are produced out of the national newsroom in Odense. The regions also cooperated in a weekly show produced in a rotating basis by one of them, featuring the week's main stories; it was dropped by 2020 due to pandemic-forced budget cuts and the need to refocus resources to digital content.
Additionally, most regions offer a standalone regional channel which operate from midday to early overnight (with a placeholder screen similar to that of BBC Scotland and BBC Alba filling closedown hours), which, alongside simulcasting the TV 2 regional shows, it also airs a wide range of regional shows, from pre-recorded lifestyle and factual magazines, to archival content, alongside extended coverage of local events.
Currently all regions have its own channel, successfully operating in a shoestring budget: TV Syd (South Jutland) has TVS+, TV 2 Fyn (Greater Funen) operates TV 2 Fyn Nyhedskanalen (which is more news-orientated than its counterparts), TV2 Øst (West and South Zealand) operates a similarly-named channel, TV2 Nord's channel (North Jutland) is called Salto, TV 2 Kosmopol (formerly Lorry) operates a local channel for Greater Copenhagen, as does TV Midtvest (West Jutland and Viborg), formerly known as Mokka, and TV2 Østjylland and TV 2/Bornholm also operate channels for each of their regions (East Jutland and Bornholm, respectively).
These channels went on air on January 11, 2012, after a new charter for the main TV 2 network went into operation, which forced the main TV 2 channel to be encrypted in all operators (viewers can pay for access standalone, through a TV provider, or using TV 2 Play); given the regional operations are not only financed by advertising, but also in part by the DR license fee, and are also the lone providers of regional TV in the country (barring exceptions in some regions), these centres were allocated a free-to-view channel, with regional must carry status.
