I’ll agree with the sentiment that they aren’t bad. They just aren’t great.
First and foremost, the CNN bug looks cramped. It looks a lot better when LIVE is hidden and CNN is slid down, like before a commercial break or during reruns. It would also be nice if there was a subtle outline or gradient behind the CNN to distinguish the bug box from the headline strap.
Next, the font is just too thin. I checked into a hotel tonight that I’m often at on business. I found it harder to read the TV that always has CNN on in the background that when I was here last.
The show name bug should be the first “tab”. It doesn’t need to slide back and forth. It’s also a shame that these are all the same, rather than using the actual show logo, like the 2012 edition of the graphics.
Lastly, I wouldn’t mind of the gap between the headline strap and the flipper was a red line or if the gap was removed. There needs to be a touch more red on the right side to balance things out. It’s the same with the location/time bubbles at the top of the screen. They should either extend off screen or be curved. As it looks now they just feel chopped off.
I will say I’m getting used to these pretty quickly. The flipper/clock layout makes a lot of sense and there are definitely less characters on screen at any point in time.
