I guess the new GMHK intro fits with the backdrop (which has been that way for years!) but I have to say it is a bit of a downgrade.

I do like the more dramatically edited one from when the program became the newsy format it is today from 1994.

The 2006 was nice with scenes of HK without any (odd) graphics choices.

Whilst the 2010 one's flat design is better than the odd 3D they've gone with ever since.

I do find it funny how over the years (especially visible in the 2006 video), you can see how they've slowly shifted right in the studio from the skyline backdrop to the plant one (not too sure what it's supposed to be to be honest!).

Worth noting that the main evening set is located just the to left (well sort of opposite) to the GMHK set in the same studio with one of the flash sets in one of the other corners.

The 1994 transition was interesting - though branded 'newsier' than what came before, the sofa brought a more relaxing feel to it than the current newsdesks - which I can't understand why there needs to be a separate news bulletin branding, when the whole programme itself is consisted of news after news.

I remember the 2010 intro - that's the one I grew up with every morning until Ch.99 and 77 came along with their cable morning news ports!

The plants and the checkered glass feel like a balcony to me, sort of.
