Has anyone mentioned Citadel Communication's knock off of Hearts' graphics?This look is weird because everything is italicized and there is little weight to any of the font.

It's basically WLNE's graphics, in all of its suckiness.

Seriously... Arial and all similar fonts should just be outlawed... It's outdated and just plain boring...

The execs at Citadel should be slapped silly for giving us these graphics straight out of Dollar Tree.

Is it me? or did they just copy Hearst Graphics with a logo almost similar to KIRO?

Oh yeah, they were definitely attempting to mock Hearst's previous designs...

 

...with Arial...

 

...sigh.

In comparison, how they look now is stunning. They had one package in between that (dare I say) reminds me of WKBW.

 

Ehh... the intro is what made me barf. Reminds me of WMGT and their god awful looks. The package is great but the intro should be changed. That part sucked.

There are some good elements to it, it's just really uninspired. Basically the same slate from different angles. What I was more focused on is the video explaining everything itself. Was it an actual story that aired or something for his reel? How did an anchor even get involved in creating the new package? If it was done in house, it's pretty good.

I can tell the package is in-house mixed with out-house elements.

Here's what's sillier - Citadel only owns two full powered stations. 2 full powered stations, and they have standardized graphics, music, and even sets.

What's sad is that Citadel thinks these graphics are state of the art...

I've seen it so many times in Mexico I think I'd need two hands to count all the stations I've seen using it (primarily state networks):

(no longer thankfully),
, the state network of Veracruz, and I am sure I have seen it in other places too.

It looks nice for cookie-cutter stuff, but it's still cookie-cutter.

 

Though the Media General-esque elements on the WWNY version redeem that particular implementation.

They look a bit like the lower 3rds you would see at a Raycom station minus the bugs on both sides.

 

That's what I thought too. Especially interesting since their competitor is a Raycom station.
