tw-804 190 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nashville's WKRN has a brand-new logo plus new graphics that are currently used on sister stations WFLA, KELO and WCMH. Livestream to see them in action: http://wkrn.com/live/ EDIT/7:36pm ET: Well, as of this post "Titans on 2" is on. Here's a screencap of the logo from its livestream below. Thoughts? Well... I know what you guys gonna say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 It's generic, that's for sure. First time since the early 80s that there's no circle (it was added when GE circled-up a bunch of their station logos like at WRGB and KOA). It fits more with their 70s stuff.

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 It's just so generic. WKRN's outgoing logo wasn't dated at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Rather plain, but at least it's not an abomination by any standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 It's just so generic. WKRN's outgoing logo wasn't dated at all. The only reason I suspect for replacement is so that they could get a logo where the ABC logo could take up more space relative to the 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw-804 190 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 They also got a brand new theme, never heard it before. It's Propulsion V.2 by 615 Music.

Breaking News 802 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 SMH--These people who come up with these horrible logos needs their hands slap & Macbook taken away. Your logo define who your brand is; WCVB, WISN, WTAE all have stupid looking logos, but it define the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'll say that the WCMH/KELO graphics are an improvement over their prior lower thirds But given the font choices in the new logo, they would have been better off adapting WFLA's look. The old ones were a horrid mix of the old Young look with Scripps with a splash of the old putrid 'PTY in Memphis thrown in. A Young/Media General station that DESPERATELY needs a new logo? WATE. The more stations they can change now...the better! Get them ALL before Nexstar takes over and puts their plastic parallelogram and hexagon logos all over the place!!!!!

NewsMaster 226 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Better than WEWS. That's all I have to say about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1366 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Talking about going back to its roots, I think it looks a-ok to me. Back when 'KRN and Knight-Ritter (Former Owner), TV2 was WNGE (Nashville's General Electric) and owned by GE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 It's Propulsion V.2 by 615 Music. Let's see how long that's going to last. Wouldn't be surprised if they start forcefeeding them with an Arnold theme, should that Nexstar deal goes through. They've could've at least kept the circle 2 logo. But looking at the new logo as a whole (especially the callsign/COL on the bottom), they could've been using that other MG graphics pack (first used by WATE) if it wasn't for WTVF using the Scripps standardized pack. Also I don't feel any different from this new logo to the god-awful thing at WEWS. They're both awful in my eyes. Very thoughtless!!! Like it only took a few minutes to create it. But you know what they probably did them a favor with creating this "cheap" logo. Nexstar would've done something far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1554 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 What is it with these bland, uninspired, and overpaid logos?? Overpaid? Hardly. The Art Director probably whipped this up in 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 743 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 They should've just kept the Circle 2 logo, but that's my personal opinion. New graphics were well overdue, and I'm glad they went with the WFLA/WCMH package (As I mentioned before in the WTVF thread, the WATE graphics would've confused people with the two stations). Propulsion was an interesting choice for news music this time around (though Nexstar will probably force them to switch to Guardian or another Stephen Arnold package in the future post-merger). My only complaint is that they didn't replace all of the duratrans on the set when they decided to change the logo, as some of them still have the Circle 2 on them.

LexTVandRadio 412 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'll go with bland, but nothing is worse than WEWS. The ABC logo is pretty big. If it was any bigger you'd think it would be News 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 748 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Overpaid? Hardly. The Art Director probably whipped this up in 10 minutes. But was probably paid a small fortune to do such a crappy 10 minute job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 748 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Interesting post I found on their Facebook page from a viewer named Charlie: "For my entire life, WKRN has been the blue-branded channel, as opposed to News Channel 5's red branding, and WSMV's yellow. So man, this new red in the logo it's really messing with my head. It's like when you go on vacation in a different city and the channels are all screwed up and weird."

susquvalleywgal 494 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 New idea ... and New suggestion for TVNT: Before any sane Art Director or CSD goes and messes with any logo, anonymously upload the logo to TVNT and let us nit-pick and critique the proposed logo. This would give them a safety net before they miss with heritage logo's being chopped and disfigured as we seen so much in last 4th quarter of 2016. -- Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NM156 0 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Just their average salary. Then it went to MGFX for package rendering. Actually, MGFX had nothing to do with this mess... that's all being done out of Nashville's two-bit hub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1554 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Actually, MGFX had nothing to do with this mess... that's all being done out of Nashville's two-bit hub! You misunderstand. The graphics package was designed and built in Florida by MGFX. The logo is crap and was made by Nashville's two-bit hub who earned it's typical salary. Nothing above and beyond ordered and paid for. After the logo was rendered, the C4D file was sent to MGFX to be added into the graphics package and then sent back to Nashville. I know because I saw it happening.
