I guess you're referring to the tune-in promo boxes, but all-in-all, I kinda like the animation in the IDs--and the old graphics package was getting tired.
Also, do note that the logo bug's been made more translucent and unobtrusive as of late--the only time the non-translucent one's being used is on the letterboxed (and probably shot in HD) "Kenny vs. Spenny."
And something I found interesting--I saw "Spy TV" for the first time on the GSN repeats last week and noted that there was no laugh track on the show. Interestingly enough, every NBC promo for that show had a loud laugh track on it, as does almost every NBC promo for the one-camera/no laugh track "Scrubs." What's the matter, NBC--can't find another way to hint people that the show's supposed to be funny? I'm not looking forward to the promos for "The Office."
ObGSN: Not that "Spy TV"'s funny to begin with.

Remake, which will probably be just as much of a failure as "Coupling" was.
ObGameShow: NBC ruined Weakest Link.

Yes, I definitely agree - considering that Game Show Network's old on-air look (with the exception of the "coming up next" with the 3 shows and some other things) had been the same since April 1, 1999....

Their first graphic package the one with the first logo that is featured in JRJ's Body Language remake was cool.
