Why are they so big? Why is the 'strap' not on two lines? Why are they still using 'ITV Reem'? Some of the music used on the stings is so in your face for breakfast time too.
Do not fix what isn't broken. This set of GFX look like the work experience student has been asked to design something and literally just print screened Sky News and replaced all the elements of it with GMB. I feel like either the "egg" should return as a logo entirely OR the programme name disappear entirely.
The ITV logo in the TLHC is clearly an issue for the "LIVE" bug but why not do what ITV News do and move it to the bottom?
The only thing, for me, decent in the new graphics package are the "LIVE"/"BREAKING NEWS", etc. transition wipes and the TOTH... but like you say, it does need some substantial tweaking. It feels seriously rushed - and a hurried mash-up between Sky News and NBC News' Today Show new graphics.
The TOTH/on-screen straps needs the return of "BREAKING NEWS", "DEVELOPING STORY" tags; the on-screen DOG to be less transparent - maybe box it up, a little... and so on, etc.
If they wanted to refresh the graphics, they should have waited until it actually looked like it was ready to launch on live TV and professional-looking... and not like something a work experience student would create in about ten minutes and look like a whole heap of dog doo.
