They're clearly happy with the overall style of the on screen graphics at the moment (that could change once Erron starts), however, they have made lots of refinements since the launch.
Not long after launch, the clock size was reduced and aligned within it's box. A few months later, the social media box on the left was replaced by the weather information. More recently, they have reduced the size of the text on the top strap, and this week, made further refinements to the lower bar, with the ticket text size being reduced, and subtle shadows being added to some of the elements.
The images below show how the core graphics have changed since the launch. It also shows the transformation of the 'breakfast bar' area (albeit with different seating positions/camera angles are in use).

As I've said in the past, I'm not a regular GBN viewer, but they have come a long way since launch - visually, and in terms of content (with recent launches of newsier formats e.g. 'The Live Desk' and 'Britain's Newsroom'). That being said, they still have a long way to go, and the appointment of Erron Gordon can only be a good thing.
