For nostalgic reasons, you might like to hear this recreation of Newsbeat circa 1977:

It'll be interesting to see whether the imaging changes significantly; it's been a similar sort of sound for a while now.

Dare we hope for some kind of sung element? I'm not exactly expecting a 7-voice group singing “Radio 1… News!”, and I don't mind the current sound (which is certainly miles better than anything Five Live or 6 Music have for their news)… but something would be nice.

Package has finished being composed.Now, it's all up to Radio 1 and 1xtra!

Any idea who won the contract?

I'm nearly 100 % sure it was Pure Tonic Media.

Check out this 'splash' page, there isn't any other imaging work available, so I reckon they did it:

Can't say I'm impressed with their stuff, although clicking round a bit I did like the Go Compare/Radio Aire parody.

We'll see!

Not even this…

Check out the demo, and if you want the full cuts, I'll trade!

Surprised the new Newsbeat imaging hasn't made it to air yet. The station had second thoughts about it, perhaps? Otherwise, why didn't they launch it in the new year?

From the brief it was meant to start airing in September '10.
