The only new set (I think!) is Warehouse, then? Does that imply that the designers thought warehouse was a good one to wait for, to ensure the set is not to London-centric? In my opinion, it is one of the most London-looking idents, maybe after Market, so I find it a weird choice.
Hopefully we'll get the full story eventually but maybe it wasn't just the lack of regional diversity that proved an issue. Warehouse is indoors I guess and while certainly urban if someone was to tell me that's Manchester I'd buy it.
Warehouse is quite an active ident and I wonder if this was one of the criticisms of the original set was them being quite slow.
