AaronQ 288 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 You guys might want to tune in tomorrow at 5. Why?
trev57 46 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 Why? New graphics and music are set to debut.
AaronQ 288 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 New graphics and music are set to debut. Oh, thanks. I check it out on their livestream.
Weeters 1981 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I would guess that the black and white ones are just a generic template from the weather computer, that's all. My guess is that the system glitched and couldn't load the current station template, and defaulted to those basic black and white ones. http://twitter.com/FOX6Weather/status/326504376556462081/photo/1 They're back.

jrh1985 57 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 FOX 6 Debuted a new open and L3rds at 5 tonight. They look nice! They still have the same bug, and same 5:00 Promo I might add. It sure didn't look like anything new before 5! Their also using "when it's important to you it's important to us" in the open.
jrh1985 57 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Just saw News & Weather Together, the weather graphics are stunning for Fox 6! Nice chimes during weather too!
LoadStar 366 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I wish I could say I like them, but I don't. I really, really don't. I can't say anything specific, but the overall vibe does give me a very "home-made" feel to the graphics. Edit: biggest thing that bugs me is the gap between the main part of the L3 and the blue bar at the bottom. Seems like those two parts should be snug together. Also, I don't get the choice to use differently designed graphics for weather; that's my biggest pet peeve of anything.
AaronQ 288 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 And they dropped the FOX O&O Theme from OSI and got Extreme from Stephen Arnold Music.
Weeters 1981 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 OK I'm sorry but these graphics and the choice of Extreme makes me feel like I'm in 1998. The first thing I thought of when I saw these graphics were the gigantic red and white graphics they used in the late 90's. Why are the lower thirds so big? The lower thirds on the were smaller than the ones they're using now. How does that work? Minutes were spent preparing that monitor graphic. They're not bad, but they're not good either.
ABC 7 Denver 1741 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I think I prefer the old graphics over this. Maybe the should have switched to The X-Package Fox Version instead?
milklikesubstance 11 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 The new music sounds like a cross between Metropolis (WDJT's package) and the music the Marcus movie theaters uses for their pre-show trailers. Don't like.
swillh2k2 206 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 They're OK. Not great, doesn't blow me out of the water, just OK.
Pavelsauce 12 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Yeah, the graphics are okay, but I don't like the weather banners. Way too plain.
LoadStar 366 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 My only consolation is that they're for sale, and whomever buys them might bring in a group standard graphics package.
24994J 5669 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 My only consolation is that they're for sale, and whomever buys them might bring in a group standard graphics package. Be careful what you wish for.
trev57 46 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 I don't mind them, and I like that everything is more consistent across the whole package, but the L3s are just so damn big.
trev57 46 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 They have added a new animation to the "Coming Up" graphics. Or it may not be new, since it seemed like it was missing last night.
ABC 7 Denver 1741 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Gee. These new graphics remind me of this oldie but goody:
trev57 46 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 I admit, I didn't like them at first, but the graphics are growing on me. That music however... One major problem I noticed tonight is that the sponsorship for the sports ticker is still in the old spot, covering up part of the lower third.
Weeters 1981 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 [yt]D7AjzMNCiTA[/yt] For those who haven't seen the open.
CircleSeven 1963 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 If they wanted to change the music, with the graphics they now have, they could've went back with Magnum (full time). This is not disappointing, but it is a downgrade. Good that the FOX O&O music has succumbed in Milwaukee. If I really had my way, I would bring back the iconic TV-6 logo and resurrect that Palmer (Friendly, Activist, Traditional) theme again, even as a FOX station. But I know that will never happen.
