BBC Politics Live launches new look graphics and studio

BBC Two’s lunchtime political debate programme BBC Politics Live revealed a brand new look earlier today.

The programme’s new presenter Vicki Young welcomed viewers to a revamped set at the BBC’s Millbank studio.

The new set and updated graphics are less formal than before.

The set comprises a large green couch for guest panellists, a small desk for the presenter, and a large green chair at the other side of the presenter’s desk, for non-panel participants.

As before, there’s a large LED wall at the back of the set but with new visuals, including a stylised London skyline and the circle elements from the programme’s new title sequence.

The digital background imagery also includes faux glass and wooden panels.

On-screen graphics have been overhauled, with a more modern look and feel, with a means of accommodating viewer contributions throughout the programme, mostly in the form of text.

The new titles make use of the new in-house Atlas design system, which features elements that are a simplification of the main BBC News Globe – in this case, red/pink/orange circles, mixed with stock imagery of people at work.

“At a time of increasing unpredictability and shifting sands in UK politics, the lunchtime discussion will expand the debate beyond Westminster – bringing in views and experiences from people across the UK to explore how politics is impacting people’s everyday lives.

“There will be a greater focus on how the decisions made by politicians across the UK affect people’s lives – and a wider range of guests and opinions alongside politicians, journalists and analysts.

“The real-life experiences of viewers will be incorporated through video notes, text comments and live interviews across a range of subjects.

Those involved in the relaunch of the programme: Erron Gordon, Chris Cook, director Janet McAllen, project manager Adam Stansill and graphic design team lead Sue Vágó.

Set design was by Sarah Milton. Music was developed by Sitting Duck Music.
