MidwestTV 1173 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 ....EWWWW! That is terrible! Way to bastardize and cheapen the circle 5 logo. Let's hope this "News 5" with that crap logo stays at WEWS and doesn't move to WPTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hey Scripps, Mickey got a message for you about plastering ABC on that "Hurl 5" logo:[ATTACH=full]3357[/ATTACH] And the image is not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 3066 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Ahh TV5, wait WEWS. Is about ready to rebrand maybe today. Facebook and Twitter logos have been updated. Management went all out for a new logo.[ATTACH=full]3350[/ATTACH] This is a perfect example of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Blech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Another case of a kindergartner being asked to make a logo in Microsoft Paint... Absolute garbage. At least the logo was cheap and easy to license. ....And leave those kindergartners alone while they are on the Scripps clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 They probably asked the same kindergartener who redid WFXT's logo. Well don't tell ya silly goose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4170 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Oh yeah, true that. And you (and Jim) reminded me... if they were both owned by ABC, we wouldn't be having a problem right now. (Although the Alphabet logo in the TV5 logo is a bit too big for serviceable use.) The difference being that WPVI has used the same typeface for the "6" since the LATE 1960s when they were still WFIL-TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm surprised nobody, and I mean nobody, has realized that they actually took the logo verbatim from Channel 5 in the UK - the one they used up to earlier this year. There are no changes except for the addition of the ABC logo. As slapdash as the look is, I don't think it's that vile. In fact, I never really cared for the outgoing version of the circle-5. The original is great, but the redone version as seen on WEWS never looked right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webovision 202 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 told ya!!! I really want to know what design firm was hired to create this, and for how much. it was designed by the most popular agency in the scripps corporation... the Scripps Graphics Hub... WEWS picked this logo out of a dozen or more logos the hub pitched... the only people who can be blamed for this are the people at WEWS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is...thank God Channel 5 UK changed it's logo already, or else a lawsuit would've went to Cleveland immediately. ...yeah, sure.

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Their Power of 5 Logo looks like a downgrade as well. [ATTACH=full]3360[/ATTACH] If they wanted to rebrand, why is WEWS STILL using "Power of 5" for weather? Then again, WOIO is STILL using "First Alert Weather".

Well yeah, but I was implying how similar the two look, with WPVI's being the better in many ways of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Alert Weather is better than Power of 5 or even "Fast Weather" or worse yet, WDJT's "Ready Weather" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 First Alert Weather is better than Power of 5 or even "Fast Weather" or worse yet, WDJT's "Ready Weather" What about KJRH's "Storm Shield Weather"?

Breaking News 802 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 [ATTACH=full]3351[/ATTACH] It's official at TV5 Eyewitness News. Wait News5 is alive. This logo was updated in the past hour compared to the first one I posted. Looks like WOI-TV in Des Moines, but whoever at WEWS created the current logo should be FIRED! WEWS should be in 4th place where at least WOIO 19 logo is more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjt24 309 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 OK! WHO THE HELL APPROVED THIS?!? I literally could've did this in 5 minutes! This makes the "Cleveland 19" logo look like the old "Circle 5". Someone at Euclid is getting a b*tch slapping for this. This logo makes Cleveland 19's logo look good...

detroiter313 178 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Looks like we have a champion in the "Worst TV Station Logos" department, the cruddy "FOX25" logo has dropped to second place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a tie, with this one having a slight edge because at least the new WEWS logo has the actual ABC logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, WOIO is STILL using "First Alert Weather". Isn't it because they use 5 radars? Thus they have the "power of 5" radars? What about KJRH's "Storm Shield Weather"? They renamed their weather department after the app! How is naming the department after an app any different than the NBC stations adopting "Weather Plus" as their weather branding back in the day?

tyrannical bastard 3471 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 There are no words.... The silver lining is that as soon as this brand fails, they can go back to the ORIGINAL Circle 5. Please, for the love of god.... For a station that is still owned by their founders, Scripps just needs to go away....right now. Cleveland TV is not what it used to be. I think Youngstown is putting out a better product these days.
