How CBBC Newsround has changed over the years

Over the years the BBC's flagship children's new programme has changed its logo, opening titles and music many times.

In 2002, Newsround launched a logo which some people said resembled a chocolate smartie.

Then in 2008, when Newsround presenter Ricky joined the team, the titles and theme were updated. The music was given a retro twist - using bits of the original theme introduced by legendry Newsround presenter John Craven way back in 1972.

In 2014, another re-design came about along with a brand new logo. The opening titles featured loads of purple, pink and teal spinning globes.

Today's new look means our TV output on the CBBC Channel looks like a lot more like the stuff we offer on our website and the music is certain to get your foot tapping!

While the TV updates might look and sound a bit different, some things remain the same, like your daily dose of news and interesting stories.
