atlnews2 557 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 WSPA premiered a new graphics package and logo last night. They are the Scripps-ish graphics that WJTV, WTEN, WLNS, WATE, etc are using. They are also now using the CBS Local package. http://wspa.com/watch-live-video-and-dvr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePulse 315 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Rather plain the logo, but definitely one of the better executions of this package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3470 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Rather plain the logo, but definitely one of the better executions of this package. Agreed that this is one of the better executions. Although, it seems like the prior package was retired too soon. What do you bet that WNCN will pick up this look when they switch to CBS in a few weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3470 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The different parts of the company are beginning to meld together finally. This is the first time that a legacy station has been totally re-branded using something that started on a former Young station. And the "ReportIT" that LIN used on many of their stations is crossing over as well. I hope the brass at Nexstar don't mess up these moves with their awful websites, ripped off slogans and over-gratuitous shiny 3D graphics. Clean and simple is the new fashion.

promoguy98 252 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 This is in some ways a full throwback to the Spartan broadcasting days before merging with Media General in 2000. I say that considering the look of the logo and "the news station" slogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that considering the look of the logo and "the news station" slogan. Agreed, it basically has obliterated the MG standardization of the mid-2000s. I wouldn't be surprised to see other MG stations of that era lose their old logos as well. Very LIN-esque. I wonder how Nexstar will handle taking over LIN Digital, will it spread it to its existing stations? Also no signs of "Local 7" yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenShine9 1509 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Stations that still have the crescent logo or a variation: WRBL, WFLA, WNCT, WSAV, WJBF, WCBD, WSLS, WJTV, WHLT and WKRG. I believe WJHL is the only station to have got rid of it afterward as 11 looked awkward on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head the only stations that still use the crescent (besides WJBF) are WBTW, WMBB, and KWCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJBF is doing the same thing WDEF did with the early-2000's graphics that they had until recently even after they were no longer a MG station -- updated them and updated them and updated them.

TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The only ones with a crescent or a variation which was a circle (which basically formed out of a crescent) are: WJBF WBTW WHLT (circle) WKRG (circle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3470 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Now that KWCH is in Gray's hands, one of the first orders of business could be a new logo. When they took over KALB, their monstrosity of a logo (based off WKRG & WHLT) was gone quickly. Before that, theu had the standard issue crescent from their MG days.... Now WMBB will be interesting....their crescent survives to this day....will it survive when they reunite with their former sister stations when Nexstar takes over MG?

Action Newsroom 1150 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The graphics and logo are pretty good, but the L3's are uninspired. They look like 3 different CNN graphics mashed into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
