AaronQ 282 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Apparently WHIO-TV got new graphics from Hothaus and modified the logo to a blue and white circle 7. And they are using NG2 of Enforcer.
24994J 5630 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 That's the loose variation of WBBM's 2008 package that's floated around at a few stations. It looks good and frankly, I miss it in Chicago.
TennTV1983 807 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 A very nice modification of the WBBM package. I like it.
hathawaynson2 39 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 On-Air Graphics and Set look great and also NG2 of Enforcer sounds so great!
ToriElectra 292 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 This new stuff rocks. Their logo desperately needed a refresh, the gold coloring was getting a little stale. Of course, since blue/gold seems to be the Cox color of choice (it's used on, like, half their stations), time will tell whether or not Cox will ever truly standardize, because aside from shared color schemes, everyone seems to have their own look going on. It's nice that a large group of TV stations (aside from ABC) actually lets their stations look how they want to. (Though, around 1996, a graphics package that was used by WHIO was also used in some form by KIRO (when they were part of that Seattle/St. Louis triple swap between Belo, Cox and Paramount), WSOC and WFTV, but WHIO's usage was the "most impressive", according to a YouTube comment. It's appropriate, since James M. Cox himself started WHIO and it's newspaper brother, the Dayton Daily News.)
Breaking News 839 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 WSB-TV should have this opening for the flagship station of The Cox Family... Nice graphics but would like to see the time/temp...I see the Facebook & twitter logos on the side-
AaronQ 282 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 And their severe weather ticker is impressive.
News 9 Viewer 100 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 The best part of these graphics is definitely their new logo. It ties the whole look together as the graphics seem to organically flow from it. By itself it's a refreshingly simple variation of the Circle 7 logo. Â On the other hand, I was slightly annoyed that their web address was in a ticker. Â WSB-TV should have this opening for the flagship station of The Cox Family... Nice graphics but would like to see the time/temp...I see the Facebook & twitter logos on the side- Time and temp added to the right of the logo above the web address would be a nice addition.
mre29 1563 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 http://youtu.be/zQdTa3Adqbo And their severe weather ticker is impressive. No kidding. There's a channel 7 in Boston that would benefit from graphics like this. Just sayin'...
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 No kidding. There's a channel 7 in Boston that would benefit from graphics like this. Just sayin'... I wouldn't mind if the CBS O&O graphics went this direction.  UPDATE: Oh wait! WBBM did go this direction in 2008, but CBS would have none of it. Pttt. They don't know how good they had it!
News 9 Viewer 100 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 No kidding. There's a channel 7 in Boston that would benefit from graphics like this. Just sayin'... Cleaner graphics wouldn't change the fact that 7News is Inside Edition: Boston.
mre29 1563 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Cleaner graphics wouldn't change the fact that 7News is Inside Edition: Boston. Yeah, true. Thanks a heap, Ansin.

susquvalleywgal 521 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Am I eyes tricking me or do they have a active news ticker INSIDE the newsroom??? Talk about news room swag. Yes, I used the word swag. No apologies are offered. Â -- Matt
alaskanews 122 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Wow so is Yuna Lee their only reporter? lol. That's her Youtube page.
AaronQ 282 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Posted May 3, 2013 http://youtu.be/veObTmBRKmY And here is their weather graphics and what cut from the Enforcer is the weather open is from?
bhratbrat 437 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 And here is their weather graphics and what cut from the Enforcer is the weather open is from? Enforcer NG1
Viper550 292 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 There's a channel 7 in Boston that would benefit from graphics like this. Just sayin'... There is apparently an update to those on WSVN that looks a lot more edgier (meanwhile, WHDH started using more "traditional" L3's last year,, but still uses the old design for breaking news)Â Starting to think KIRO might be getting an update soon; they've started using a Bill Ratner voiceover in promos...
Big Country News 435 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Starting to think KIRO might be getting an update soon; they've started using a Bill Ratner voiceover in promos... It would be good for KIRO, considering that their current Giant Octopus (Now FX, I guess) package is a cookie cutter. Also, they need to stop using Enforcer Series 1.
solidscooter 3 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 The WBBM 2008 graphics/Heart of the City pack still remain one of my favorites. Though the L3s moved a little too much in the original WBBM pack, I think it would have been nice for WHIO to have kept them, the fonts were different but clean.
NewsViewUrbana 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 I do not like the new WHIO graphics. The last ones were much better.
