Rusty Muck 4405 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I think there's a word for that style, too: "Tabloid". I would compare them to WSVN's, but their graphics are good. FNC's graphics are a poor knockoff of WSVN's.
Andrew2016 2 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 "On The Record" just got new graphics. The opening/title graphics looks cheap and downgraded from the previous graphics package. But the lower 3rds look nice.
Big Country News 435 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 The new lower thirds look like a version of the "America's Newsroom" design. Right now, the breaking news lower third is like the previous.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 The new lower thirds look like a version of the "America's Newsroom" design. Right now, the breaking news lower third is like the previous. Can I unequivocally say, ewww! These shapes they use! What the...? Who decided that the 'Coming Up' shape in the top left of the 4th picture was in anyway attractive? The turret graphics idea they have here look way better on Media General stations! This Critic gives it two thumbs down!
Weeters 1969 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I like how the text in the white circle in the first image doesn't even come CLOSE to lining up with the circle in any way.
Rusty Muck 4405 Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 The new lower thirds look like a version of the "America's Newsroom" design. Right now, the breaking news lower third is like the previous. They would have been better off melting a box of 64 Crayola crayons with a magnifying glass aimed at the sun. Even by Fox standards, this is utterly hideous.
Big Country News 435 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 The 'FOX News Reporting:' graphics have gotten an update, which isn't all that bad.
Andrew2016 2 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Fox News Sunday got new graphics. Graphics and Lower 3rds are similar to America's Newsroom
NewsViewUrbana 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 I refuse to stay very long on any channel/station/network that uses annoyingly distracting graphics that stay in front of a picture for too long over a program.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 The 'FOX News Reporting:' graphics have gotten an update, which isn't all that bad. Nope. They are THAT bad.
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Nope. They are THAT bad. Looks like FNC hired the same people who made Raycom's new terrible graphics package with all those bright colors and italicized letters.
mightynine 290 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I wonder if THIS might be the direction FNC's L3 is going... (from TV Newser) That's not bad, per se. It's still pretty simple.
24994J 5629 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I wonder if THIS might be the direction FNC's L3 is going... (from TV Newser) That's not bad, per se. It's still pretty simple. I could get behind that.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I could get behind that. So could I! It's not the best... but it's definitely 5 steps up!
Andrew2016 2 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Apparently, "On The Record" recieved new graphics again! I also checked foxnews.com and it looks like "Hannity" will be getting new graphics tonight. That show hasn't receive a new graphics package since January 2011.
Big Country News 435 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 FNC has officially* dumped both old L3rd Designs for the new ones. Here's the Shows who dumped the ond L3rds: FOX & Friends First Happening Now (Graphics Overhaul) Your World The Five Special Report O'Reilly Factor (Just added a shine to their old L3rd) These Shows already had the design: FOX & Friends The Real Story On The Record The Kelly File Hannity A Healthy You #Media Buzz *I say officially, but it's only for a few shows. These shows kept their design: America's Newsroom America's News HQ Shepard Smith Reporting
MidwestTV 1244 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Fox News just can't make a lower third that satisfies me eenough to consistently look at.
Action Newsroom 1300 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Fox News just can't make a lower third that satisfies me eenough to consistently look at. Fox News needs a straight-up graphics overhaul, period. But these are a big step ahead.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Fox News needs a straight-up graphics overhaul, period. But these are a big step ahead. But would you disagree with the fact that these graphics are distinctive? Isn't that the point? Like WHDH/WSVN, Fox wants to have a unique look. Sure they look gaudy, but no one will forget on what network they exist.

ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Huhh. No. No you disagree or no, no one will forget how unique FNC looks?
Action Newsroom 1300 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I don't disagree, they're unique, okay?
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I don't disagree, they're unique, okay? Relax. I was just looking for clarification. To answer a multi-thought soliloquy, more than I 'no' is generally required.
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 You know, I watch the Sky News stream and see their sleek and modern graphics and set and I wonder, "Why can't Fox News mimic that?" FNC's is gaudy in comparison.
