A sentiment with which i fully concur...the "bugs" are redundant and irritatingly intrusive. The ABC has already toned them down somewhat but I doubtr that will satisfy the ABC audience! We want them GONE!

They're not slick enough. For example, the 'Today' menu typeface is mixed in an unattractive way and the boxes look pasted on the background like something out of early 1970s TV graphics. And that logo. Ugh. I can see what they were trying to achieve, ano objection to the colours- a bold and eye-catching choice- but unfortunately they’re not quite there.

I like it a lot. The blockyness of the graphics reminds me of the revolutionary style that CNN currently uses. I like it a lot.
