Perhaps a bit related: They celebrated their 75th year on the air last night, with a small hint of "the studio will look a little different" on Monday:

Not sure if that means the rebrand or a new set, or both.

It is the rebrand, for sure. Additionally, the set is still somehow new: they moved to Studio 1A since September 2021 (when they did its current refit) and it has a lot of video walls and visual technology (inherited from Today) that would eventually make a quick set design change effortless.

Today set so does not suit it. Kinda cheapens that iconic place and the whole ice cave look was bad from the start.

Well that's underwhelming. Very 2009.

A definite improvement: all the letters in the titles are properly aligned, it doesn't look like a rush job, and they've finally moved into this millennium by ditching the old fonts.

That makes the BBC headline sequence seem short and snappy.

1 minute and 20 seconds, which was quicker than last night's BBC News at Ten which was 1 minute 45 seconds (excluding regional headlines).

The typeface in the logo reminds me of Gotham which in my opinion is a bit passé now.
