National Nine News 2008

This graphics package was basically a minor alteration to the previous package. The Nine logo was dropped for the news service logo. Sets during this era were relatively unchanged. Sydney received a virtual studio border around it’s skyline image (also used for the national backdrop). The national key backdrop also overhauled its image, originally going for a bright vibrant blue overlay of a control room image, then eventually dimmed the blue down to make it easier on the eyes. Melbourne retained it’s wooden panel desk for weeknights, with weekend producers standing. The news logo was also superimposed behind presenters of Melbourne’s weekend bulletin. Perth revamped its studio with a new desk and updated virtual background. On screen graphics were also changed (goodbye cigarette motif supers), and in its place were blue and white themed graphics .

IMO these were the worst graphics package served up by National Nine News. At least the major refresh (in which the “National” was dropped") served up what I thought were better graphics.

Worst on air presentation. Only lasted until October 2008

2006/07 was way worse than this. Can’t see much wrong with this as an adaptation of the previous package to account for the rebrand with the dots.

Maybe the location graphics on the map are a bit big?
