I logged into ba.com in the middle of the night and the card logo had changed, it's back to normal now. Are they changing the design? It had lots of little dots.

I logged in at about 1am BST and saw exactly the same thing as you hingeless - a card logo looked different and there were silvery planes on initial site after logging in.
This morning it was all back to normal - wonder whether something is up and they are planning to change the card design/BA website background.

Actually they (probably erroneously) reveled the updated bronze card design, wondering if they're going to rename the tier white. I like the different design for each tier, hope they won't equalize card design for all status.

The new card is at the bottom of the page: https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb.../blue-benefits

Looks much better than the current "let's find the cheapest stock photo we can get away with" for Bronze. ^

BA replaced it with one with no photo at all, presumably even cheaper still!

I wonder if the words "British Airways" appear anywhere on this card?

I really like it too.

If you colour it blue, turn it 90 degrees, you something close to the cabin wall(?) decoration of AAnother AAirline in the 90s.

That's an improvement for Bronze.

I think the blue, silver and gold cards are fine but the bronze one looked like it had been designed in a primary school if indeed it had been 'designed' at all.

Is it just me who can't get excited about this? It's a plastic card which spends 99.999% of the time in a wallet or drawer; in fact I think 100% in my case, since it's not even needed for lounge access if you are traveling in a cabin which gives access anyway.
