skbl17 188 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The one thing that bothers me about CNN's graphics... ...can they just, for the love of god, make the entire presentation coherent? We have the new lower thirds, but most of the other shows use older elements, usually set in that 3D Univers style. Newsroom is the worst offender, I think. And since they're putting the CNN logo in the red box in promos, they should do that during programming... just a nitpick. I think CNN will get around to this issue eventually. If their and new " " promos are any indication, this could finally mark the end of CNN's fanaticism with 3D swooshing graphics. Time will tell.

Samantha 2896 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 CNN International has the new look, with one differentiator: the CNN logo is white on red, and the live box is black on white. (Basically these are reversed from CNN domestic.)

C Block 1566 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 They also still use a flipper instead of a ticker, though it's in the same style as CNN US' ticker. CNNI almost always restricts the flipper to recorded shows and breaking news, so it has so far only been on once today I believe.

morningnewsexecutive 1 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 IDK why CNNi didnt keep the globe by their logo in the new graphics. I think they should keep their own branding so they stand out from CNN US Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13791-new-cnn-bug-ticker-lower-thirds/page/3/#findComment-113733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1232 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Why is the hot thing to be "flat" now? First it was iOS7, then Android 4.3 jumped on the "flat" bandwagon, then Windows 8, etc. I don't understand it, I feel like it's a step backwards! I don't like this at all. The old font says "This is CNN" way more than this one. I feel like it's to try and make people focus less on aesthetics and more on the content, especially given viewer complaints over the past several years that news (among other things) has become too flashy, too fancy and too pretty. It's all about the looks rather than the content. People would complain that the graphics are distracting and taking away from the content, so it would appear that the shift nowayears is to minimize the graphics (of anything really) as much as possible for a cleaner, simpler, easier-to-look-at, look...unless you're Fox News...then they just get flashier and flashier.
