WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 So looks like the original NBC O&O graphic package done by Novocom does not count, right? Nope neither that or the Pyburn package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 743 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 So I did some snooping around ArtWorks' vimeo page and that KXAS album that was earlier linked to, while it is empty, if you go to the list of albums, said album does have a thumbnail of what I guess is supposed to go in there: http://vimeo.com/nbcartworks/albums Looks a lot different from the KNTV look but that's just me. That image is from KARK's current on-air graphics. Makes you wonder if that too was an NBC Artworks job that ended up going unused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if that too was an NBC Artworks job that ended up going unused. Is that a new look for KARK? Artworks syndicates their local packages out to affiliates all the time (although they've never let one out before the O&Os picked it up). I find it pretty Artworks would use this as a thumbnail for an album if it had nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark 55 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Judging by this: http://arkansasmatters.com/fulltext?nxd_id=414867 , it looks like the KARK graphics were designed specifically for KARK. It says, "As of now, the new set and graphics are completely unique. There is no other station with the same look or set design." That doesn't mean they couldn't have been designed by ArtWorks. Definitely interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know...while it's a very nice package for Market #56 (no offense to anyone), the graphics seem to be based off of the "More Colorful" promo look, something that seems a little gimmicky for the O&O's. But that's just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFTV 484 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yes, Look C was designed in/for HD. I'm just stating that in KNSD's case, for them to have been able to use Look C when launching HD news would have required the package to be redone with a new logo, colors, etc. Simply put, the build a block graphics package was probably the only way to go. look at NBC Connecticut. They still use Look C and it wasnt much of a change when they went from NBC 30 to NBC Connecticut. Maybe it was the poor creative services dept at KNSD that wanted to adopt their current bland blue look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1811 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Interestingly, a promotional ad on KXAS's website seems to use the colors and text styles of the KARK look. I'm thinking the KARK graphics are a variation of the "blocky" graphics, and their debut on KXAS was halted when Comcast put a hold on the rollout of the new looks. I'd love to hear if these graphics were offered by Arthouse, or if someone in station management just really didn't like the blocky graphics. With the amount of color they have, I can just imagine they're a snarky comeback to some GM going "THE GRAPHICS NEED MORE COLOR AND THEY NEED TO BE LESS FLAT!!!!".

That KXAS album where I found that thumbnail was only created two months ago. The block look was fully yanked around May or June and KARK launched this look in April. The interesting thing about that promo ad is the use of Nobel when that look uses Gotham has its primary font. Interesting to say the least.

anthonyz 26 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Any chance someone who capped this video in time could reupload it (with original audio) for those of us who were unlucky enough to miss it? Thanks! P.S. Is the new package called "Look G"? http://vimeo.com/album/1664851 I was able to save the video file. I will try to reupload it somewhere shortly.

In the mean time, from their facebook: https://www.facebook...86597689&type=1 This is not the same as the KNTV look. Kind of bland in my opinion.

mark 55 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Not bad, though! I think I see a simplified logo. Interesting to have market #5 picking up a version of a graphics package first seen in market #56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que 73 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Not to mention their "updated" set will debut tomorrow. I am sure we won't see something that drastic. After all, the station does plan to move into a new building within the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que 73 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I missed the open, but based on the promos, music probably remained the same. To me, this new graphic package screams NBC. Definitely a blue-based look, but has all of the NBC peacock colors throughout the graphics. Just looks plain and cookie-cutter like (i.e. logo bug in a transparent black box). Not much of a hometown feel to it, so probably easy to interchange the look for other markets. I am sure many of the other NBC O&Os will pick up this package, just based on how rather boring it is. Will be interesting to see what changes they will be making to their set. They have been bragging about it the whole newscast, which is in their newsroom (with the box NBC DFW, Telemundo, and NBC News logo all present behind the anchor).

KRGV5 0 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 The L3's look way to plain and simple. The 5 logo with the black box behind it again looks too plain and simple. I think I ca. Make this graphics package on photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite how rather simple it is, I like it. Though I have a strong feeling they will eventually replace the new NBC 5 logo, behind the anchors, with a monitor at some point.

Que 73 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 KXAS New Music?: I am no expert on the NBC Collection, but are there parts of that package that very similar to 360 (by 360 Music)? If not, KXAS is indeed using new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
