    LoConte Goldman's website used to be great but I can't remember the address anymore so I can't find it on archive.org Also I see on Linda Kane's site that she has some early pitches for the WBZ 2000-era graphics. Given that those were done by Viewpoint Studios (which is still around) I have to assume she was a contract employee for them at the time.

    How to tell we've been news gfx geeks for wayyyyyy too long

    WLBT looks more like Giant Octopus' work at the time (WBNS, etc) than Cinemagic. Cinemagic had a very unique high-gloss style.

    https://web.archive.org/web/19980110120633/http://tvbd.com/tvbd_news.htm "Balls and Walls" was TVBD and a second version was developed in the early 2000's for then-WOKR in Rochester. TVBD's site used to have a GREAT timeline of station work and packages.

    Identical? Can I interest you in a new pair of glasses?

    Looks like WAVE is about to lose their custom look...

    Going allllll the way back to page one of this thread, WOIO's look has been claimed by Matt Quinn, who also does work with Hothaus (explaining why it's so similar to other Hothaus packages but not an official one). https://mattquinncreative.com/woio-cleveland

    The big question: will they finally drop MCTYW?

    That Mass Lottery music at 19:30... oh my God I'd forgotten all about that!!!!!!!

    That's going to be interesting to see what they do considering WHCT doesn't even have must-carry status anymore.

    Airchecks probably don't get much older than this!

    How's that tinfoil hat working out for you?

    Not to digress even further on the movie end of things, but the sex/violence issue is precisely why Disney started Touchstone Pictures in the 80's. They're just using Fox (a bigger, more well-known name) for that now.

    Andrew's been with WFSB for the last year or so.

    Does Gray mandate that stations must spell at least one word wrong per newscast per station? "Autospy" on WLBT and "alamanc" on WBTV. Embarrassing...

    Looks like a modified version of Eurostile Extended to me

    To me it looks like CBS News lost the lead graphics guy or firm that they used for the last few years. Both this and the current "This Morning" graphics are a huge step back both stylistically and in complexity. They remind me a lot of the chunky, small market looks the network had in the pre-Scott Pelley era.

    Re the Apollo 11 videos, I have to wonder if all the "simulations" aired by the networks are the genesis of the "we really didn't go to the moon" conspiracy theories. Insert other media

    I think that's a glitch from VizRT. Somehow someone routed the on-air feed back into the input channel used in the tease graphic since there's an effected wipe in it. It just caused an infinite loop.

    Looks to me like it might just be a duratrans in the DC studio.

    Man that WGGB aircheck was awesome. The Dairy Mart silo building in the commercial at the tail end is in my hometown about a mile from my house! lol
  22. qunewsguy
    Well that's one heck of a creepy slogan

    1998 called. It wants its HDTV back.
  24. qunewsguy
    So I just found this spot on the station's YouTube page and the first of the two end screens looks very Hothaus-like to me. Maybe the WGCL/KPTV look?

    Yeah Bank Gothic was like one of the hottest fonts at the end of the 90's. No knockoff there.
