If they get rid of the blue then the relaunch has been a success. If they keep blue - a failure.

Gotta say I thought this thread would be buzzin because of the potential relaunch tonight/ tomorrow.

I think that there has been so many elements of this white and red package posted here that there is nothing else to discuss 
If I’m being honest, I’m not hopeful that this new package will look good. I think it’s going to either all be inconsistent or look really bland, like the 2011 package.

Same. Although there’s a new colour scheme, most of the new graphical elements we’ve seen in recent months seem to be recycled from (or at least heavily inspired by) previous packages in some way or another. Nothing really worth getting excited about IMO.

Don’t like that font too much, reminds me of the old dated 90s Coles aisle font 
Wouldn’t take that as an indication of what we would possibly expect if a refresh is to happen tomorrow, rather than a colour palette change.
Edit: Random thought, but given blue is out, what would that mean for generic backgrounds like the current globe? Since some of the promo graphics featured embossed elements (7NEWS logo), maybe there could be a similar globe graphic with red on white, similar to SBS World News?

If 7News is to get a refresh tonight, could it be similar graphics to Sunrise, but just a different colour palette - red, white and blue?

7NEWS is unpredictable at times, but the only conclusion I can draw to the News side receiving a similar appearance is due to the social media banners containing the angled graphics with the same reflective shine effects, just in red:

I’m skeptical about a relaunch tonight tbh. Unless anyone has any insider knowledge?
No change for 5.30pm Gold Coast News.

Says it all I guess.

I doubt there’ll be a relaunch as the graphics, supers and logo are only a year old.
What were Seven even thinking taking the Gold Coast news of the HD channel?
They were trying to get a bigger lead in for the 6pm news by giving 2 options at 5.30. It didn’t work.

The package is now five years old with some extremely minor modifications made more recently (ie a red line added to the super…hardly a substantial update).
I think they have to relaunch at some point this year…it’s just a matter of when now that the Olympics have passed.
