ChesapeakeTV 312 Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 It may not be as "flavorful" as the old logo, but I actually like it. Clean, simple, and not atrocious. I'm betting based on that coloration they're getting the WTTV/WTVR version of the eye graphics.
susquvalleywgal 520 Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 The old logo had it's own look. But the graphics (esp the L3's) were a complete nightmare. I kinda like the new logo. Simple. I hope they also get the WTTV/WTVR gfx. -- Matt
TheRolyPoly 2573 Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 The new logo and look, just by looking at that newspaper ad... a whole lot better. I believe the change is taking place today, but I'm not really sure. As of this post, 11:12am ET, the old logo and graphics are still being used on air and at WTKR.com. I'll check by 12:00 Noon time. EDIT: Nope. Still using old graphics and logo.
MidwestTV 1240 Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Only real complaint is that the kerning or whatever it's called in between "WTKR" seems too big. A fatter text might have sufficed better.

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 947 Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Been watching the 5 & 5:30 pm shows with no change to anything

Been watching the 5 & 5:30 pm shows with no change to anything It's been a slow rollout. Word is, the new logo's been up in a banner at Harbor Park since the beginning of the Tides' season.
PanchamBro 19 Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Looks kinda generic like they hired the same person who did WVEC's logo to do theirs. I agree. I wish WTKR made a better logo than that. Maybe add a glossy look. WVEC's logo is more polished vs. WTRK's new logo. *WTKR. Also, that sounds like KTRK to me.
KevCor 344 Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 WVEC's logo is more polished vs. WTRK's new logo. Speaking of WVEC, the WTKR rollout actually reminds me of WVEC's changeover to 13NewsNow back in 2012(?). It took them a while to roll the graphics out after doing the on air switch
Breaking News 838 Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Speaking of WVEC, the WTKR rollout actually reminds me of WVEC's changeover to 13NewsNow back in 2012(?). It took them a while to roll the graphics out after doing the on air switch So when the big day for the graphics, the logo, the set to make it debut? Does anybody know when? I'm happy for WTKR for the updated look, but it seems to be years in the making.

Greggo 358 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Still doesn't look like they're on the new set tho, right?
Ntropolis 598 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Still doesn't look like they're on the new set tho, right? Not yet

KevCor 344 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Looking for an update on the new set at TKR? At this rate, it appears they may not debut the damn thing before WAVY does... and WAVY started AFTER them...
Daybreak 289 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I'll say that the management at WTKR should've tried hard not to let WAVY to debut before them when they've been on their temp set for almost 3 months if I not mistaken. I know there's probably structural things they had to do but when a competitor station announced to getting a new set as well, that should have put a pep in their step. This shows why WAVY is #1 in the market. *Sorry for the mini rant.

They either must be building an entire brand new building from the ground up... or have the worst set design group.

I don't know what's taking them so long with the new set, they need to call Z-space like WAVY did!

It needs to be done in last August or early September, THREE MONTHS is waayyy toooo long to build that set!!!!!

KevCor 344 Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Me and my friend has an ongoong bet on whose set will debut first. KGO or WTKR. Rumor has it they had ALOT of technical work that needed to be done in addition to just the new set. I'm putting my money on NBC Boston to build out a new set before TKR though.

It needs to be done in last August or early September, THREE MONTHS is waayyy toooo long to build that set!!!!! Maybe building the set isn't the only thing they're doing... There could be a lot of boring things going on like asbestos abatement (Their building WAS built in the early 60's) or installing new electrical. Maybe the floor needs to be reinforced. Perhaps set pieces got damaged in transport and needed to be rebuilt. There's A LOT of extra work that goes into putting in a new set. It's not as simple as those timelapse videos make it look.
