Many changes happened across the CNN network this week, most notably the replacement of the on-screen ticker at the bottom of the TV with the “flipper.” The other notable change is the redesign of the CNN Headlines News logo, which has dropped the CNN and moved away from the overarching use of lowercase sans serif and red. As far as speech bubble logos go, this is perhaps one of the nicest and most appropriate. It feels contemporary and hardcore, just like the channel itself. At first I was taken aback by the HL ligature, but it’s actually quite smart as it creates a better acronym than just HN and reminds people that “headline” is one word. You can never have enough grammar and spelling lessons in the world. This is a nice move to give Headline News its own look and feel that doesn’t rely so much on its parent identity.
Thanks to Geoffrey Sorensen for the tip.
