tyrannical bastard 3942 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 In WBRC's case, the "6" at the time drew from their longtime neon sign on top of Red Mountain...(hence the "on top of it all" slogan) It even translates to their current logo. At least this has history to draw on. As for WTSP, this what they REALLY looked like in 1979. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/128/#findComment-245031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 334 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 The lines on WTSP's new logo are a bit harsh on the eyes. They could do a solid multi-color "10" but then again my design sensibilities are best left in the early '90s.

The current multi-lined logo they seem to be adopting is just too busy looking and distracting.

TSSZNews 1051 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Has anyone actually see a current WTSP open with the new logo?

But it looks really weird and hacked together. Almost as bad as when Newport was schlepping through its final days as WPTY ABC 24 only for Nexstar to save the day by killing their former sister stations down in Little Rock (KLRT/KSAN and stealing their set, literally!) 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/128/#findComment-245116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's only a matter of time before WATN switches over to the full-blown TEGNA look, but there are already signs the transition could be happening soon. Their 9AM newscast was recently re-branded as Memphis This Morning (which may or may not be temporary). 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/128/#findComment-245119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 9AM newscast was recently re-branded as Memphis This Morning (which may or may not be temporary). I do agree! And I bet they'll use these graphics as good as WTHR is. Because WTHR absolutely is blowing the original TEGNA stations out of the water using the C Clarity graphics. Plus WTHR, WATN , WZDX unlike the other TEGNA stations use Baron Lynx opposed to WSI MAX. And WATN will probably be the 2nd station to get C Clarity using Baron weather graphics.

I can't be sure, but I can just guess he was referring to the low resolution of that 10 logo. Tegna needs to redo the logo section of their new website design. Many logos on Tegna's new website format are barely legible...and I'm being generous in saying that. One station in particular has their slogan so small it would be better described as fine print. Make the logo space bigger or have the logo take up a larger part of that section so it's easier to read/look at. Either way Tegna needs to address this sooner rather than later.
