nathannah 2454 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I thought there was a font error going on, but nope, it seems like CNN's bottom third is now almost all-Helvetica except for the LIVE banner and the time/Dow slider, which keeps the Gothamish type for now. Really doesn't fit the package as intended at all and seems like a regressive move.

nathannah 2454 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Well that explains everything then...lol. Didn't notice the difference since the '1' hasn't appeared yet as I watched, but CNN Sans definitely does look slightly different (and anything to stop font mess on all platforms is fine with me).

Anyone want to inquire about the font by that email? Richard Quest is quite a talent. His Quest Means Business show is great. Especially his delivery.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Two words describe Richard Quest ... News. Swagger. If I had my way and my own TV network, he would be choice one for the nightly national news program. -- Matt Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15092-cnn-switch-from-gotham-ish-font-to-cnn-sans/#findComment-149774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 291 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Guess they didn't change the font on their election L3s; back to Gotham... Meanwhile, speaking of election graphics, they REALLY need to revise them, because they're clearly meant to go with the previous graphics from before said redesign.

LoadStar 364 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I didn't like his work as a game show host last year, but dammit, I could listen to him read the phone book. Is this sarcasm? Because I personally think he's a giant blowhard, with quite possibly one of the most grating voices on television.

tyrannical bastard 3962 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 And now CNN looks even more like MSNBC! I wonder if WINK will follow suit and update their own graphics.

Darius22 122 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 They still use CNN's 1998 font for the weather Ticker. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15092-cnn-switch-from-gotham-ish-font-to-cnn-sans/#findComment-150300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
