Geoffrey 779 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Looks like CBS 2 is about to change their logo... This is via Janelle Burrell's Facebook page: [GALLERY=media, 784]WCBS Logo 03312016 by Geoffrey posted Mar 31, 2016 at 9:38 AM[/GALLERY] They've essentially had the same "2" since May 1997. Now they're going with the KCBS one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 That's disappointing. I wonder if a graphics update is coming, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Oh god! How awful. WBBM has their own "2" and so did KCBS and WCBS. Now they're ready to "share" that "2" with KCBS? God how awful will this be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God how awful will this be. They also have to share that "2" with KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh as well...Nowadays it like let me all our station logos uniform.

channel2 869 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 WCBS's "2" was a butchered Futura Black Italic 2...it would be nice if they could've chosen a more pleasing "2" than this one or that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 And don't forget KYW wanted in on the bland logo parade and dumped their iconic Westinghouse 3 for boring Helvetica and decided to go gold with the last graphics update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I don't think there has been this much discussion about the number 2 since the argument about which number goes after "1". But I will be the first to admit that I like me a nice relaxing and enjoyable number 2 every now and then. Cheers to number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbnews 344 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I think they should have kept the original 2. More unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAnderson1 27 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I don't think this is real...Meg Baker posted a pic on Instagram about 3-4 weeks ago using the new vans...I think they just messed up the logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 767 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I like the current 2 better... But we'll get used to the new one sooner than we think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1811 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 But I think the "2" in KDKA's is more modified. KDKA's is thinner than WBBM's (or WBBM's is heavier than KDKA's depending on how you look at it). Same font, different weights. WCBS' looks closer to KDKA's than WBBM's. I'm surprised this didn't happen years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1150 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Honestly, I don't get why everyone is so upset over the visual representation of a number. Specifically this one. In my opinion, I don't see much difference. Looking at it now, the last 2 logo was kinda gaudy compared to this. Uniformity or no, I could take this. If there's a number's look to change to deserve the colossal anger, try the number 6 or 7. This also applies to the Westinghouse logos too. (Thank God that didn't [and won't] happen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I think the reason why WCBS is changing its "2" is because the 1997-present "2" is mired in so much failure and turmoil. This finally gives WCBS a chance to distance themselves away from the 90s as much as possible. Is it a tad generic? Yes, but NBC uses one design for "4" and ABC uses the "Circle 7" (with slight variations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason why WCBS is changing its "2" is because the 1997-present "2" is mired in so much failure and turmoil. "Son, as a number you are a failure." That will boost the self esteem.

ctnnews 1 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Somehow I think this is just an April Fools joke but if not then channel 2 should bring back the old 2 from the 70s. This cookie cutter format is very boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFTV 484 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 As did KDKA, but at least KPIX and WJZ still kept their Westinghouse logos All hell will break loose if KPIX changed the 5. They won when they got rid of freeways, they complained seeing "FOX" next to the 2 logo on the news. The 5 will never happen lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
