    I'm pretty sure I remember seeing those on Giant Octopus' original website back in the day.

    Losing someone as daring as Wendy from the mix tends to do things like that. No coincidence that both WBZ and KABC debuted iconic ahead-of-their-time looks under her watch.

    It's so bad the video was pulled offline LOL

    Bigger concern... someone should be reaching out to Warner Chappell who actually owns the copyright for those works.

    That should change soon with Matt Quinn now in charge. Not saying things will change quickly (100+ stations is a lot to handle), but they'll get there.

    Likely to kill two birds with one stone. Two of the biggest urgency weather brands are "First Alert" and "Early Warning". Take up portions of both and nobody else can use that sort of brand.

    Matt might beg to differ with you on that...

    If only the people who think they know everything knew who's actually commenting on this thread.

    New promos released by WLS featuring Proxima Nova fonts and a decidedly different end screen.

    I forget the firm that did the film but they were EVERYWHERE in the mid 2000's. Partnered with both Hothaus and Giant Octopus to provide footage for a lot of packages. I've seen the raw stuff they shot here in Hartford and they certainly had a lot of talent!

    CBS as a brand won't go anywhere. It's got nearly a century of legacy on its own. Still... glad to see they went with Paramount instead of Viacom.

    In Memoriam

    qunewsguy replied to jdcnow's topic in General TV

    Well Dunne Talent blog is reporting that Linda Kane, who was in charge of Linda Kane Design, has passed away. She pioneered the iconic "flat" graphics looks seen on KTLA, WKYC, and various WB affiliates in the late 90's along with MSNBC's trendy early '00's overhaul.

    Wow that morning team is CRINGE. Jeez. Aside from that... that's an odd mashup of graphics. Looks like the old Giant Octopus WABC syndicated look for the opens, the KOIN look for talent bumps, and a mishmash for everything else. So odd!

    They're in it for the affiliation not the channel position. Odds are Telemundo will wind up on one of WGCL's subchannels.

    Man that's a super slow camera move going on there. I'm not sure I've ever seen a 3-minute truck/pan like that before LOL

    Looks like a mix of the network graphics and the "NFL on CBS" elements. Are we sure the screengrab isn't part of a spot designed specifically to run in the NFL playoffs? I'm not sure why there are yard line markers on a weather graphic otherwise.

    WAVE has already debuted a spot with the logo on their building, station gear, and mic flags. The logo treatment at the end of the spot is great. https://vimeo.com/662689785

    Yeah that's definitely not a group look. CBS has adopted TT Norms as the groupwide font and it would most certainly appear in any O&O package since the font family is being provided for free to all CBS affiliates. Here's another recent spot from KCNC....

    A lot of great stuff came out of that dumpster dive that person did including some vintage airchecks. When WWLP moved they left EVERYTHING behind.
  20. qunewsguy
    Still using Avenir for the "mornings" text so I don't think that has anything to do with the new graphics.
  21. qunewsguy
    Okay I'm just gonna say it before this thread turns insane: I don't think we need to see what each and every station's network overlay bug looks like.
  22. qunewsguy
    My favorite Ken moment
  23. qunewsguy
    The simple reason for that? The entire font package is included when you have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription and it looks good (for now). Font licensing can be a HUGE cost and pain point for stations.

    Flat and basic is a common cultural design esthetic across mulitple platforms these days, not just TV. You see it in the evolution of Apple iOS, product packaging, even in interior design and more. Glossiness, bold gradients, and 3D are OUT and actually look pretty dated unless you're talking male-skewing sports content. Simple high contrast colors, natural textures and basic shapes are the way things are going right now.
  25. qunewsguy
    I'm going to guess they're so low budget at this point that they're doing all the graphics, etc through a TriCaster or something like that.
