really liking the flattened out eye transitions that are reminiscent of the current ones, if this is evidence of anything big they're working on group-wide i hope they keep those kinda design cues! the current package is really nice and i like the idea of them just. freshening up 'n modernizing some of the concepts of it tbh.

holy crap, that renault ad at 24 minutes!!! between this and the president talkin about them, i feel like fate is gonna bring me a renault in the very near future... also, you couldn't get away with larry's "newscastery" hair today. pure late 70s/early 80s aesthetic.

not sure if this would go here or in one of the international threads (let me know if it's in the wrong place, didn't see an international knockoff thread), but Vizion Plus's news open is a blatant knockoff of ITV's offerings. i'm also pretty sure they're tryin to go for an ITV thing with the set and are... failing, to say the least. seems to be some kind of weird mix of the regular ITV news intros with elements from the News at Ten open. here's Vizion Plus Lajme - and here's ITV - speaking of ITV, here's Granada attempting to copy one of the 90s hearst looks. feels like they tried to make the arrowed G logo work kinda like the WCVB numeral but... it just doesn't work too well imho -

not much to say about this one and I know I'm at the tail end of the acceptable years for classic video but i'm just surprised that WCIA was using the old WBBM graphics in 2007. who else was usin these? also really vibin with the enforcer cut in this close. we finally have nexstar endboards showin up in chicago and it'll always feel weird to me bc i associate seein those with being downstate, lol.

that one & only open, i feel like i’ve seen that open before on another station. popular aesthetic for the time or was it syndicated? also, semi offtopic but is it just me or do some of the older opens in this video seem high framerate? these upscaled in any way or is my phone just tricking my head?
