Until the 2022 rebrand, the basic set design and graphics have been unchanged, unlike some of the RTL Group’s other daily newscasts, such as RTL Nieuws in the Netherlands and RTL Híradó in Hungary, which rebranded in 2014 and 2016, respectively. However, the studio slightly changed on June 10, 2014.
