AaronQ 260 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Apparently WHIO-TV got new graphics from Hothaus and modified the logo to a blue and white circle 7. And they are using NG2 of Enforcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5280 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 That's the loose variation of WBBM's 2008 package that's floated around at a few stations. It looks good and frankly, I miss it in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 756 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 A very nice modification of the WBBM package. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hathawaynson2 38 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 On-Air Graphics and Set look great and also NG2 of Enforcer sounds so great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriElectra 291 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 This new stuff rocks. Their logo desperately needed a refresh, the gold coloring was getting a little stale. Of course, since blue/gold seems to be the Cox color of choice (it's used on, like, half their stations), time will tell whether or not Cox will ever truly standardize, because aside from shared color schemes, everyone seems to have their own look going on. It's nice that a large group of TV stations (aside from ABC) actually lets their stations look how they want to. (Though, around 1996, a graphics package that was used by WHIO was also used in some form by KIRO (when they were part of that Seattle/St. Louis triple swap between Belo, Cox and Paramount), WSOC and WFTV, but WHIO's usage was the "most impressive", according to a YouTube comment. It's appropriate, since James M. Cox himself started WHIO and it's newspaper brother, the Dayton Daily News.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 805 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 WSB-TV should have this opening for the flagship station of The Cox Family...

News 9 Viewer 100 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The best part of these graphics is definitely their new logo. It ties the whole look together as the graphics seem to organically flow from it. By itself it's a refreshingly simple variation of the Circle 7 logo. Â On the other hand, I was slightly annoyed that their web address was in a ticker. Â WSB-TV should have this opening for the flagship station of The Cox Family... Nice graphics but would like to see the time/temp...I see the Facebook & twitter logos on the side- Time and temp added to the right of the logo above the web address would be a nice addition.

ABC 7 Denver 1562 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 No kidding. There's a channel 7 in Boston that would benefit from graphics like this. Just sayin'... I wouldn't mind if the CBS O&O graphics went this direction.  UPDATE: Oh wait! WBBM did go this direction in 2008, but CBS would have none of it. Pttt. They don't know how good they had it!

Viper550 268 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 There's a channel 7 in Boston that would benefit from graphics like this. Just sayin'... There is apparently an update to those on WSVN that looks a lot more edgier (meanwhile, WHDH started using more "traditional" L3's last year,, but still uses the old design for breaking news)Â Starting to think KIRO might be getting an update soon; they've started using a Bill Ratner voiceover in promos...

Big Country News 435 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Starting to think KIRO might be getting an update soon; they've started using a Bill Ratner voiceover in promos... It would be good for KIRO, considering that their current Giant Octopus (Now FX, I guess) package is a cookie cutter. Also, they need to stop using Enforcer Series 1.

solidscooter 3 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The WBBM 2008 graphics/Heart of the City pack still remain one of my favorites. Though the L3s moved a little too much in the original WBBM pack, I think it would have been nice for WHIO to have kept them, the fonts were different but clean.
