  1. Yep! We still have all 100 deliverables CD's for the 2002 WFSB graphics package as well. Ah, those were the days...
  2. 1998 WDIV was done by TVBD. There is one brief version of their 1998 site that was never archived (also featured the original HD launch graphics done for KRON).
  3. 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.
  4. How to tell we've been news gfx geeks for wayyyyyy too long
  5. WLBT looks more like Giant Octopus' work at the time (WBNS, etc) than Cinemagic. Cinemagic had a very unique high-gloss style.
  6. 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.
  7. Identical? Can I interest you in a new pair of glasses?
  8. I was making reference to the misspelling in their graphic (best seen at 0:08)
  9. Looks like WAVE is about to lose their custom look...
  10. The plexi skyline backdrop from this set still exists and it's actually installed in current anchor Dennis House's attic.
  11. Quarantine and business downturn be damned, the TV nerdz want new graphics now!
  12. 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
  13. John is getting up there and his style of "over the top" voicing is going out of fashion. Unfortunately it's not a huge surprise. I worked with John years ago and he was a great, flexibile VO guy but really not the kind of imaging voice people are looking for now.
  14. That Mass Lottery music at 19:30... oh my God I'd forgotten all about that!!!!!!!
  15. That's going to be interesting to see what they do considering WHCT doesn't even have must-carry status anymore.
  16. Airchecks probably don't get much older than this!
  17. How's that tinfoil hat working out for you?
  18. Not to turn it into one of those threads but KNXV has uploaded a billboard with the new look. It seems like the only animation on the entire thing is the logo outline fading in in the background. It's just... weird.
  19. 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.
  20. Andrew's been with WFSB for the last year or so.
  21. Does Gray mandate that stations must spell at least one word wrong per newscast per station? "Autospy" on WLBT and "alamanc" on WBTV. Embarrassing...
  22. Looks like a modified version of Eurostile Extended to me
