TheRomeoShow 1 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I've noticed a completely new graphics package while watching 13 Eyewitness News @ 11am. I think it's another package done by Hothaus, & it looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 748 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 They needed new graphics yesterday. The old ones had been used for almost ten years with some alterations in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I think it's another package done by Hothaus, & it looks really good. I see similarities to WLS' package in font, 3D elements, and shading. Many would claim 'Blue Helio', but It's an undetermined for now. I could see it being similar to the others that 'Blue Helio' was named in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I don't really think it looks all that similar... The graphics definitely don't work the same way in movement or how they come on and go off screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1811 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 They're from Hothaus. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist 894 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 *checks if pigs are flying* Finally this station has new graphics. I'm having doubts it's made by Hothaus but I gotta see more of 'em because the lower third looks more ABC Creative Department compared to Hothaus.

Daybreak 269 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Finally, they really needed it. Can't wait to see them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 748 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Not sure who made these graphics, but they look like a nod to the current ABC World News Tonight look minus the tiny squares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que 73 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Could be from Matt Quinn: http://mattquinncreative.com Who works with Hothaus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5277 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Good to see that they've retained the 'Eyewitness News' theme. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this makes them the first ABC O&O to have graphics specifically designed for our widescreen viewing pleasure. Overall it seems like a good look, very clean lower thirds, but I have yet to see an open... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susquvalleywgal 494 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Looks nice but not a fan of the live bug. Too big for my taste. -- Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
News 9 Viewer 100 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hopefully WABC gets something as good when they finally get new graphics. Lord knows they're overdue for new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike91 66 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 10pm open. Terrible quality video, but better than nothing. (EDIT-Don't even bother, 24994J has a much better quality open below). The open reminds me of the World News open. Also, they have a new V/O guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Also, they have a new V/O guy. Yeah, Ed O'brien was starting to sound old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbnews 344 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The graphics are okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5277 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 They're still doing talent bumpers...I guess. It's looks good, but it's stupid how damn rushed it all is, a trend that was already taking hold during the latter years of the last package.

ns8401 846 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Do you neccesarily need the weather and sports guys in the bumper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1293 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 They also seem to be branding as "ABC 13 Eyewitness News" instead of just 13 Eyewitness News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriElectra 291 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I think the VO guy is the guy who does KCAL and Inside Edition. Steve Kamer, is that the name? It might be spelled differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagonal10 84 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The lower thirds seem Nexstar, the open seems Scripps, The bug feels like KABC, The talent looks like something they took from WPRI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swillh2k2 203 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It's interesting seeing that even though standardization is becoming the norm, the ABC O&Os have been given liberty to use their own visual identity. You can argue sonic identity as well (i.e. KGO using Signature before the EWN theme; KFSN using News One for years, then switching to a custom package a few months back; WLS, etc.).

24994J 5277 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 With KTRK's revamp, does that leave WPVI (Dec. 2010) or KFSN with the oldest package in the group? I only bring up ABC30 because I don't recall when they dumped KABC's first HD look for their evolutionary update. [yt]PF2SYNwOa7g[/yt] Do you neccesarily need the weather and sports guys in the bumper? No, certainly not. My gripe is just that the talent opens are so fast that there's no point in even having them. I get that people have short attention spans, but goodness, they could have stretched them another 2 seconds so the VO wouldn't spill into the headline bed.

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 These graphics to me are pretty clean and look a little Scripps-ish in the L3s. Basically, it's the Scripps package only simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hathawaynson2 38 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I think the VO guy is the guy who does KCAL and Inside Edition. Steve Kamer, is that the name? It might be spelled differently. Yes, that is him. He does voiceovers for KCTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
