tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 I"m not exactly sure when it happened, but WJAR has taken the plunge with "Glass". They still have traces of the old look, especially with their lottery ticker and use the Gotham fonts on their time/temp bug. They're still on the WorldNow site for now...

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 ...and WLOS has switched to "Glass" as well! It looks like they're taking the WZTV approach; using a bug that rests outside of the 4x3 safe zone.

AJClementeFan69 477 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The ticker isn't the only jumbled mess. They can't even seem to stick to a unified branding at the moment...one place they're Channel 3 News, the next News 3, and now their social media pages proudly refer to them as ABC 3 News. Let's hope WPMI goes a little bit smoother than this. It seems like Sinclair is really pushing O&O-esque brandings on a lot of their stations (KVII, WPDE, KDBC, WEAR(?)) I'm sure we haven't seen the last of it...it's not nauseating like Nexstar's Local # push but it's awfully generic. I'm surprised KSNV wasn't turned into "NBC 3" or something to go along with the generic redesigned logo. (Keeping the "NEWS 3" branding with that logo doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense when the logo reads "3 NEWS" but I digress) A lot of the new logos are shoddily designed (WEAR's in particular) but it's Sinclair...

mike91 67 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 KFDM and KBTV have the new graphics and music. KFDM also looks like it has a slightly altered logo on their website. Looks good considering Sinclair bastardized some of the other stations' logos.

LexTVandRadio 418 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Add WACH to the list. They also have a new website. I guess we will see this rolled out for all the stations eventually. http://wach.com/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/9/#findComment-132645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes WEAR's new logo look decent. It's like their graphics team is running out of ideas. Still, the worst logos for me are the ones for KBOI and KGAN.

AJClementeFan69 477 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 "News 10" You wouldn't know that from the Facebook page... esp. since Sinclair is now in the habit of creating logos that don't "read" correctly vis-a-vis the station's brand.
