I'm not sure at what level the mandate comes from, but NBC does seem to
have been very consistent about using the same design elements across
MSNBC, NBC News, and the news operations of O&Os for the last several
years--glass-topped desks, right angles instead of gentle curves, big video
walls or vertical plasmas behind the anchors (usually showing a live
skyline shot), stainless steel or back-lit wall panels, etc. "Today" is
kind of the glaring exception that proves the rule here.
