Really I think we should go back to a graphical countdown if we must have the BBC logo at the top.(03-04-2023, 11:47 AM)Stuart Wrote: My first thoughts:
[*]The countdown should go back to fps, not hundredths of seconds
[*]The countdowns weren't made with the intention of having a white logo at the top, so it often just disappears into the background
[*]Either fix that hoop or don't show it, because it makes it look like a local cable news channel broadcasting from Walnut Grove, Minnesota
[*]The one-line lower thirds are just a waste of on-screen real estate space
[*]I don't need to see the description throughout the package, I don't have short-term memory retention issues
[*]Either have a flipper or not. Don't waste space just showing the URL.
I can't say I'm a 'happy (Easter) bunny' from what I've seen so far.
White logo on white background is fine so long as milliseconds later you have it over a dark background. It doesn't need to permanently be on view, the brain is clever enough to fill in the gaps.
I like the description being on throughout the package - people turn on all the time so it gives a useful indicator of what they're covering.
