Just saw the opener with new font. Seems to me SBS is taking inspiration from Deutsche Welle.

Yuck. Definitely a backwards step.

Lol.
A new set, or a new host, we can all get excited about. A new font though… all that hype for nothing. lol

It was so clean and perfect before. Why the change? It adds nothing to their brand. Makes it cheaper looking IMO.

The font is so hideous
The supers are definitely new as well. The font kills it. It’s just as bad as Seven’s

What’s the bet it stays like this for 2 weeks before quietly changing back.
I think they’ve relaunched their graphics and supers to align it with their new WorldWatch bulletins they’ll be launching soon when the new WorldWatch Channel is on air.
This is a Promo for the Arabic one.

Isn’t it the updated corporate font?
The old package used the serif font that was previously all over the network, which I think may be been updated to what they currently use, only 6 or 12 months after the red news package launched. That was clearly bad timing and planning.
SBS also don’t seem to know if they want to use the newish ‘layers’ network gfx package or the news gfx on things like end boards, etc.
Having not seen it on air, it doesn’t look great. But my main issue with SBS is the total lack of evolution for the bulletin. It should be like Channel 4 News in the UK. Dynamic and fast paced hour of word news and serious domestic issues. Lovely sweeping camera angles (maybe even ditch the desk!) and sharp analysis which can be rebundled for online.

I actually like the upgrade, the previous font they used has had it’s time in the marketing space with it being overused and starting to look a bit tired IMO.
And hype? Lol. One journalist from the network said things might look a little different, ya’ll interpreted that as you wanted.

The new headline lower looks like a mock I made ages ago not something on national TV
