They both took that logo from WTVJ in the 80s

 

Not necessarily.  WSMV had its logo in the early 80s before NBC bought WTVJ.  If anything, TVJ stole their 4 from Nashville and italicized it to make it look different

[Sendir 194]

It was VDO.

This wouldn't be the last time KARK would rip off another station's logo...

     

KARK now has a sister station west of them on I-40 whose logo they can rip off next.

More specifically, the logo was introduced when the station became KFOR in 1990.

 

You can see KFOR's logo history here.

In different variations that is. You can see the difference as far as how the current "4" is shaped vs how the 4 was originally shaped in the 4Strong era

The 4 was thinned out when the station overhauled its image in 1994: compare 1993 and 1994.

WLS in Chicago and WSBT, a CBS affiliate in the neighboring South Bend market:

So KFOR has used the current 4 styling for 25 years right?

Woah. WSVN really has influenced the world with its Newsplex looks over the years.

[WWUpdate 1292]

NBC's Statue of Liberty...

 

 

...became the Sydney Harbour bridge on ATN7 in Sydney, Australia...

 

 

...and a local statue on ADS7 in Adelaide, Australia:

 

 

Also, not the similarity of the ADS7 set to the NBC Nightly News set:

Well, there's also this -- an example of licensing rather than outright stealing:
