wac_suyaru 3 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm in no rush to see these graphics on KOMO. I really like the graphics KOMO has now and moving to the Sinclair package will definitely be a downgrade for them. Here's a sneak peak at the new logo Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/11/#findComment-135551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Here's a sneak peak at the new logo Wow, that logo looks disappointing. There wasn't even a reason to change it, the old logo would've looked fine with those graphics. Hopefully the set won't be as disappointing, although looking at WJLA's new set I'm not keeping my hopes up.

It could better, but it could also be a lot worse I think the KOMO logo would look better if it didn't have the red "NEWS" and just had the "KOMO 4". It would still be a bummer that it didn't have the Blue box with a white 4 inside it like so many of their older logos but it wouldn't look as clunky.

T.L. Hughes 890 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I think the KOMO logo would look better if it didn't have the red "NEWS" and just had the "KOMO 4". It would still be a bummer that it didn't have the Blue box with a white 4 inside it like so many of their older logos but it wouldn't look as clunky. All it really is is their current logo rearranged (in essence) and without the square background. You have to wonder, though, if it's newscast title will be changed back to KOMO News 4 to match the logo layout or if it'll be like KSNV, where the news logo's text arrangement doesn't match the title.

TheRolyPoly 2447 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 WLOS Asheville has gotten the new graphics package.

Viper550 291 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Judging by this, KVII finally fixed their bug to use the box rather than a port from their old graphics Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/11/#findComment-135813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 917 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 And what about WWMT or KOMO? When are they going to get the new gfx? WWMT is badly in need of the new "Sinclairization" -- I was hoping they would've gotten it by now, since most of the other Michigan Sinclair-owned stations have gotten both the new graphics AND newest rollout of their website... I know WLUC in the UP has the new website, but not the graphics...

Viper550 291 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 And KOMO has been assimilated. The L3's are the white on blue version and don't animate like KVII's (which would have looked better). They're using the 16:9 version; and dear lord this is a downgrade. The excessively wide L3's look absolutely tacky with how they're doing the text, given that most of the screen is a blue bar.

I'm surprised they weren't able to have more animated graphics. They really aren't bad when they aren't static all the time.

bmasters1 404 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It's still KOMO 4 News. So yeah, yet another poorly-executed Sinclair logo where the text doesn't match the title. Why would it be like that (the arrangement of the title elements not matching what the actual title is)? That's incredibly confusing (I say that because those who watch KOMO will be wondering, 'are we watching KOMO News 4 or KOMO 4 News?'). If the title is still KOMO 4 News, the title arrangement needs to be edited to reflect that and clear up the confusion.

Or the logo should be adjusted (or in this case, reverted back into the previous logo) to accommodate for the branding.

TheRolyPoly 2447 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 First time they went "KOMO News" in its history, I believe. "KOMO News," "KOMO News Online," "KOMO Newsradio," "KOMO News Mobile." The "KOMO News Network," makes perfect sense to me.

Now that they have one title across everything, the logo as it stands does indeed make perfect sense. It's the same sort of synergy KIRO once tried out a long, long time ago. That flopped, and TV and radio were promptly split up. But it makes sense today.

Emarsee 7 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 So, KOMO has made a few custom adjustments to the Sinclair red title card by adding a background image and shrinking the text size. Makes it look less awful than the standard fare that other Sinclair stations use.
