So it turns out we are getting a new look come April

Yes, but apparently not THE new look we had rumours of, more of a Chameleon update to the existing 2008 one.

Well, as we understand it, no significant visual changes are planned.

The familiar globe device has been recreated at higher quality. So expect it to be hanging about for a while yet.

We will see the phasing out of the red patch logo. The now familiar Chameleon-style branding will be introduced, with the BBC blocks at the top of the screen and the ‘NEWS’ brand positioned at the bottom.

Oh for god sake - 15 years on and it still survives. If ever there was a time to refresh the image of BBC News it is probably now - even if it's evolution rather than revolution. Keeping a look which should have arguably should have been ditched with the move to Broadcasting House in 2012 (given the frequency of prior rebrands) just highlights how neglected BBC News is nowadays.
