FWIW the Breakfast music for me has aged much better than the pips on the main bulletins.

It's still a huge step up from what The Context, Global Daily and News Now have got in recent weeks on the news channel, and I think it's refreshing it isn't so obviously BBC News - that's what makes it feel fresh. Indeed it was that sequence you just posted where they went from the BBC Breakfast branding across the studio to the harsh red and whites of the BBC News graphics for the Cost of Living piece which really highlights how the rest of BBC News needs to sort itself out.

...but the design itself is just so frickin' basic. Unlike the distinctive 'pulses', departure board-style scrolling placenames, cats cradle etc, there is nothing in this design that immediately says 'BBC'. Like all other recent BBC News design efforts, it looks like they've taken a free generic design template and just slapped their logo on it.
