It is just too much, MSNBC and NBC!!!!!!! With the constantly-flashing logo, be it on the Today show, or otherwise, I can’t concentrate.

It looks like some type of club or fancy restaurant. It looks it was done by the same set designers as Deal or No Deal, and I'll bet you the Deal or No Deal effects are going to happen as well on-air. For example, when breaking news happens, the blue lights are going to turn to red. As an NBC fan, this is not good. It looks like some type of club or fancy restaurant.

It's gaudy, too bright, and not comfortable to look at. The best sets have always been the simplest, and the truth of the matter is Fox, at least until recently, have had the best sets. Unfortunately they, like CNN with they god awful set in NY for American Morning, and now apparently MSNBC, have decided that flashier the better. A imaginative and modern (CNNi-ish) set is shot down by Fox “throw a few tv’s in front of that window” News fans… what a surprise.
