Pavelsauce 12 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Judging from the images in the post, it looks these graphics are quite a change. I was in Grand Rapids back in February, so I was able to see the previous graphics in person. They were pretty good, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DextonNova 2 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yes, that one had lots of reds, maroons and golds. I'm starting to like this package, and you'll be able to see it in about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 751 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The new theme is apparently Trust, the inthegroovemusic package that was first commissioned by WXMI's sister station KCPQ-KZJO. I saw the live stream, they also pointed out that WXMI has a new set for its newscasts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Despite the fact that I feel as if the L3's need some work, I'm pleasantly surprised with this graphics package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DextonNova 2 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks for the news music package info, I'll try to update NMSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm am saddened that The Unexpected is gone. That little unusual soothing theme tune is in the dust. I wish another station pick it up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DextonNova 2 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yeah I became very fond for the last music package, too bad it had to go with the graphics. There must be a new on-air graphics system they are using for all the on air stuff, it looks like the staff it still learning how to use it, some of the on air elements appear even during commercial breaks.

ABC 7 Denver 1554 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I guess that this is a GO package with a FX refresh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm surprised... this looks really good. I'm also disappointed The Unexpected is gone. It fit really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1150 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I love this graphics. I think this looks better than the graphics of the Fox O&Os. Although the L3s do need work done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavelsauce 12 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I agree. I really like the graphics, but the L3rds are rather plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadStar 363 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I like it. It's a fully developed package with nice transitions between graphics elements, and it meshes well with the FOX brand. Not that impressed with the bit of the set I saw in that YouTube clip, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 743 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Bumping this thread with some info on the graphics used by WXMI (and WXIN as well). As I posted in the Shoutbox, it's an in-house job done by Tribune West Creative. http://brief.promaxbda.org/content/brand-rebrand-tribunes-fox-affiliated-stations The entire package was designed to be implemented at all of Tribune's Fox stations, and may be applied to the FoxCo stations they just acquired via their purchase of Local TV LLC.

C Block 1488 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 That would be a shame, as I think KDVR's graphics are superior to those. I don't think every Fox affiliate necessarily needs a Fox-ish look, especially in center-left markets such as Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3N 996 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 No wonder I kept seeing this influx of new promos at KSWB. I would have never guessed that they came from Tribune West Creative. I thought that they were made by Hothaus, that's how good some of these spots were. Trib West Creative put up a few of their works on their vimeo page... http://vimeo.com/69508277 Also, I noticed that WXIN dropped the FOX O&O theme for the theme that is being used at KCPQ in Seattle.

I wouldn't be surprised. KTVI uses the same graphics that WXIN used until recently. They are long overdue for a new graphics package (used since 2009). These would look great for them. The current Local TV and Tribune Fox stations graphics look very dated/cheap and were basically a knockoff of the old Fox graphics package (looking at WJW, KSWB, etc.) One thing that I'm curious is what will happen with KCPQ. I'm not sure this package would work for Q13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Well they would certainly improve WDAF, that much's for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRob 920 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 If it works with VizRT, I'll be happy. :awesome: But, we have enough problems with people confusing us with KSHB; I'm not sure a red-white-blue package, which Scripps also uses, will help that situation.

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 But, we have enough problems with people confusing us with KSHB Easy. You're the station that manages to do pretty well in the ratings and wasn't stupid enough to give up some prime syndicated programming for some cheap syndicated programming. Seriously though, are there still people who are still confused about the NBC/FOX affiliation switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, are there still people who are still confused about the NBC/FOX affiliation switch? YES! OH MY GOD. Both stations are STILL called by viewers complaining about some programming that's actually on the opposite station or complaining about the news service provided by the opposite stations and they have to refer them to the other ones. My theory on the matter is that since WDAF is on channel 4 and KSHB is on channel 41, people are seeing the 4 and forgetting the affiliation. The fonts also look similar. I also don't think it helps that KSHB's chief weather guy used to be over at WDAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4167 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 That would be a shame, as I think KDVR's graphics are superior to those. I don't think every Fox affiliate necessarily needs a Fox-ish look, especially in center-left markets such as Denver. It's an interesting point. This rebranding is better suited for those Fox stations that retained the O&O appearance (WXIN, WTIC) or an in-house derivative EDIT: a derivative designed by Hothaus and completed in-house (KSWB). In fact, they went so far in the article to say that they tried to keep and enhance the O&O bug. KDVR is the only Fox station in their stable that repudiated the O&O look for a style all to themselves. As I said in the other thread, it will be decidedly awkward seeing a "Fox 31" O&O-style logo on the station again. Ideally, they should make two distinct rebranding initiatives: this one, and the KDVR look, which would fit perfectly onto KTXL, KCPQ and WITI - all of which are center-left, BTW. (Sorry, but the "Q13" logo would simply not look right in an O&O-style bug.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
