susquvalleywgal 521 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Stumbled around this ... http://www.knoe.com/video ... Looks like they got the Belo gfx, or something VERY similar to that. Thoughts?? -- matt
Samantha 2902 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Looks more Belo-inspired. Not the right typefaces, spacing, etc.
CircleSeven 1960 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Yeah. These are nothing short of KNOCKOFFS of those graphics. Very Cheap Knockoffs!! Someone must've watched WWL.
tyrannical bastard 4036 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Yeah. These are nothing short of KNOCKOFFS of those graphics. Very Cheap Knockoffs!! Someone must've watched WWL. ...or WFAA since Hoak is based out of Dallas.... It's as simple as someone at corporate headquarters studying WFAA and thinking it's a good idea to impose upon KNOE. This is why there's little originality left in television. Some "exec" sees something they like on YouTube, thinks it's a good idea, and rips it off en masse for their stations.

Some "exec" sees something they like on YouTube, thinks it's a good idea, and rips it off en masse for their stations. Your philosophy was used in a time before YouTube. The Diversified stations from the 1990s (WCJB and WABI in particular) had quite a few opens that were ripoffs of other stations' opens. In 1994 WCJB was using an open inspired by TVbD's 1984 work for WDIV, and WABI through the 90s had opens based on packages from WBZ and KCNC.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Hey, KNOE isn't the only one knocking off Belo graphics. WTVA is not only pulling a sorta-knock off of the Belo graphics, but are also ripping off the old KVUE logo!

The open screams him with the way the "6:00" animates in, plus it looks like the animation demo. The rest of the package does not look like anything he'd do, though.
LexTVandRadio 418 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I wonder if WHAS-11 will ever get that look or the Gannet look. Almost 10 years now of the same look/set. Still not in HD either. Just enhanced SD/widescreen.
