I do think people are being unnecessarily harsh on the main graphics - it's not like what they replaced was much more than text on some footage or a fairly generic orange background.

The blue circle does it's job of being instantly noticeable and therefore recognisable as the shows branding in a similar manner to how the GMB blob acts too. It's clear distinctive branding which although undeniably simple feels fresh, clean and modern - something that you'd struggle to find elsewhere on BBC News at the moment.
And random thought but is it a loose link to the BBC1 lens idents too?
