It’ll be rather interesting to see what the new set for SBS World News will be like.
Knowing that the logo will be tweaked, I’d presume there’ll be some form of new or tweaked graphics with this relaunch.
But what about the theme music? Are we expecting SBS World News to keep the current version of that (which I believe has been used since 2005 - probably the longest running news theme on Australian TV at this point in time) or should we expect an updated version?
And guess who I can see at the back @antonio1987 
Kinda surprising that SBS would allow that trash to be shown in their newsroom.
SBS relaunching tonight as per the CEO’s Tweet this morning.
SBS has refreshed its news portfolio, today launching SBS News with increased capabilities across its broadcast and digital platforms and a bold, new look bring its range of news platforms together under the SBS News banner.

Is that Fergo and I on the cake? 
Ah, i just saw it. Fergo on the television at the back on the last JPEG. Thanks for making my day Melbournefan 
This timelapse video includes a brief look at the new set + possibly a revamped theme as well:
EDIT: Here’s a picture of the new set in action during rehearsals:
OK, I’m calling it now.
Could this new look (and possibly sound) be the best On-Air Presentation package that SBS World News has ever had? Because judging by what I’ve seen so far…
Beats the awful 2004-07 one that’s for sure!
What I would like to see with the new graphics:
Looks pretty good, nice and bright set.
New music by the sounds of it too. Looks and sounds incredible.
This is hot 
It appears that SBS are “saving the surprise” for 6.30pm - just saw an update recorded in the newsroom (recorded at/around 4pm judging by the appearance of the “Seven News Sydney First at 4pm” titlecard on one of the screens) with the old graphics & theme music not too long ago!
Looks fantastic. Let’s hope they actually use panning shots for once to show the set off.
SBS graphics were developed by company DD8, the same company that has designed Fox Sports News and Channel 9
