Aside from the ABC logo, this is the first thing that I immediately thought of when I saw this (and what it's most likely based on as they're both owned by Scripps):

ABC started using the new logo as their on-screen bug during The View today.

Actually, if you right-click the image to a new tab or window from Mission broadcasting's website, the URL reads: "https://missionbroadcastinginc.com/stationlogos/wnac_tv_providence_logo__nexstar_styled__by_unitedworldmedia_ddxkyww-fullview_1623891723.png" Nevermind, it was already mentioned.

I think that the extra time/temp on the extreme lower right is actually from the Today Show's Namedropper ticker.

This is a spanish newscast. Why is their ticker in english???

You know what else got lost? They also got the Tegna graphics: https://youtu.be/AeFsLjpr9S0 And WQAD may be next because they're a different logo on their website right now.

That was adapted from Raycom.

Nexstar's graphics hub is based in Nashville, which would explain this.

Both logos are on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/foxeastidaho/

Does stolen logos count as knockoffs? I'm asking this because KXPI-LD in Pocatello, Idaho stole the logos of FOUR other Fox stations! (KSWB, WNYW, WTTG and WAGA)

I just found this on NewscastStudio... https://www.newscaststudio.com/2019/12/04/cbs-oo-new-graphics-rollout/

This wouldn't be the last time KARK would rip off another station's logo...

I just rewatched that section, but those graphics were actually for NBC’s former overnight news service, NBC Nightside. They do look similar though. Here’s the full open: https://youtu.be/xZQ1aMBNgvg?t=54

I didn't see WESH's version in there. Only WTVJ's.

In Florida, WESH copying WTVJ's Novocom look in the late 1990s... WTVJ: https://youtu.be/iDz4oiwQ_Rg WESH: https://youtu.be/-_RvbhzeRUs

Surprisingly, their website still hasn't updated to the new logo: https://www.wkyc.com/

Inside the station: As long as there isn't chronic talent turnover, they should be fine. Outside the station (viewers watching at home): The rebranding shouldn't make the station any worse than the "farm system" era, but they're screwed either way.

Just wait 'til this logo debuts and viewer complaints start flooding into the station on social media!

Their soon-to-be-new logo? ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW??? WHAT THE F$&% IS THIS?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!? THIS is where we're at with broadcast logo design? There are things in life that just doesn't need to happen. This is one of them. Now I gotta update their Logopedia page with this painfully underwhelming abomination that ANYONE can recreate in Powerpoint in just under ten seconds... It hasn't debuted yet and it's already giving every bad station logo a run for their money; yes, even this logo from station KXDF-CD. TROIKA EVEN MADE YOU A LOGO! AND IT'S 999,999,999X BETTER THAN WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN!!! (image below) 1. This logo is so underwhelming and bland that I cannot just sit on the sidelines and let WKYC or Tegna get away with this. 2. What works in Great Britain doesn't always translate well in here in the US.

So I randomly came across WLBT's website, and their About Us page had this across the top. It looks they'll be the next to get the WMC/KLTV look... https://www.wlbt.com/about-us/contact/

Knowing how cheap most of Gray's graphics packages look, this was the only thing that I feared would happen to the ex-Raycom stations when the merger was announced; and it's already happening in a couple of markets (Memphis & East Texas)

Came across these two stock After Effects templates that are blatant ripoffs of a couple Renderon-designed looks. First is a knockoff of WPTV's 2008 HD look, and it is BAD: https://videohive.net/item/news-opener/7776494 Second is based off KCTV's 2015 look: https://videohive.net/item/4ch-breaking-news-mega-pack-premiere-pro-after-effects/22028374?ref=mildtheme

That's NOT the real package.

Two possible reasons why this happened: 1. Sinclair executives are just now finding out about KOMO's "must-run" scheme; they threatened to fire the news director if the segments didn't come on during times when people are actually watching. 2. Ratings for KOMO's 6pm newscasts are taking a nosedive for some reason, so they're temporarily dumping the "must-runs" there until ratings pick back up.

Hate to bump this thread, but what was that graphics company in question? And what was their website?
