On June 2, 2010, News 12 Brooklyn unveiled a new set for its news programming, which includes duratrans that change from yellow (which is used for the morning and afternoon broadcasts) to blue (used for the evening and overnight broadcasts) depending on daypart.
On December 17, 2010, News 12 Brooklyn debuted a new set for its newscasts, as well as a new imaging package – including an updated logo, overhauls to its news ticker and graphics package, and a new music package ("Convergence" by Stephen Arnold).
