The new-look BBCi has just appeared on all BBC channels. It includes a new black, white and red bridge on BBC ONE, BBC TWO and NEWS 24, with customised 'cartoon' bridges on CBBC and Cbeebies. I've noticed on my Sony box that the red 'highlight' on the bridge moves instantly now, as does the main index - previously it had lagged somewhat.
701 and 702 haven't been updated yet though.
I can't get any screen shots, but maybe someone else can.

Agreed, all the cosmetic tweaking is getting silly now. In spite of it all, it's still the poor cousin of Ceefax, not a worthy successor.
Every single page of Ceefax needs to be replicated in full on BBCi - once they've got that done, they can start playing with the colour scheme again.
701/702 screenshots in this thread.
I am still not sure whether I prefer the satleite look of BBCi over Freeview, full screen picture with an overlay is quite nice
For me though
They should standardise BBCi over all platfforms, instead of most of the Freeview version being the same as its always been
Also with all the talk of analogue swith off, shouldnt they be getting all the content on the service and also promoting it during programmes instead of putting Ceefax page xxx put Digital viewers go to BBCi page xxx, or use both
However nice they make it look, if the information is only available on Ceefax then thats what people will use
I don't "Hate" it at all - It's different agreed but it is the usual old format for a landmass in a BBC News map.

The new look looks good - shame they don't have Programme names on it anymore though.
No, that's just changed now as well!
Mark.
Oh, cool, maybe they're reading this thread, eh?
That's a joke BTW, I'm sure it was co-incidental. They're doing a good job at BBCi, it's not as simple as some may think.

Despite that, the new bridges look great - the black scheme works much better and is far easier to read than the old garish BBC ONE red! The Weather section looks better, but the maps are a strange colour choice!
