Mrtraveler01 738 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I have the KMOV app and when I opened it, I saw this. It's a logo that I haven't seen being used yet which is why I'm wondering if it's a sign of an upcoming rebrand.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 It's the same "4" but with they eye next to it. I hope they don't change the brand to CBS 4 News.

GroupWBZ 73 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'm reposting since Im nor sure if it worked the last time. It looks like a fatter, white, sans serif version of the ill-fated WBZ "CBS 4 News" ident.

rkolsen 1684 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I noticed two other instances when an app was changed to reflect a new logo before it went live. WBAL's weather app had their current branding as a logo for months before the rebrand occurred on air. But yes the logo looks a bit clunky and generic.

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 WALA has a different logo for their Android app. I'm hoping something like this NEVER hits the air. It needs more work. It does use the same "10" that their "FOXten" overlays. Like Raycom, these logos are VERY different from their on-air efforts. WALA's look is getting a little tired, and 615's "RHRN" needs to die, like yesterday. Meredith has done very little to the on-air look aside from making one-line supers, a news ticker, overproduced vidboxes, the "video wall" and the dreaded "Surprise Squad"!

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Here's an ipad screenshot from Google.

Rusty Muck 4368 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 It's the same "4" but with they eye next to it. I hope they don't change the brand to CBS 4 News. My hunch: KMOV adopts this logo (which isn't that bad, honestly), keeps the "News 4" brand and switches to the CBS O&O graphics.

Samantha 2895 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The WALA logo looks fine, and it's even less clunky than the current FOXten brand. The KMOV logo is...passable but bland. The 4 is now a little too thick. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15494-possible-new-logo-for-kmov/#findComment-164558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KMOV logo is...passable but bland. The 4 is now a little too thick. The horizontal version is pretty good... It's the app icon that seems clunky. The old logo is decent but in the current look it is WAY too small as a bug.

bgiesing 46 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I think the new logo looks nice for an app Icon but for a Newscast, maybe they move the News inbetween the CBS Eye and the 4. Honestly, KMOV needs a refresh. KSDK and KTVI's graphics and logos are way better imo. EDIT: In other semi-related STL logos, KSDK's website now has a 70 Years anniversary banner Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15494-possible-new-logo-for-kmov/#findComment-165546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Here's a screengrab of a sales promo (a contest the station is putting on with VPS Airport and Allegiant Air)...with the "new" logo... There's another event promo with the logo as well. All of the station promos still have the current look on them. I'm betting the relaunch will happen after the Super Bowl or soon thereafter...

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Super Bowl seems like the ideal time to make the switch. Given the audience implications, it's the time to make a splash. Although changes these days are haphazard and sporadic, I think Meredith and WALA could pull it off without a hitch. I'm hoping "Right Here Right Now" and Greg O'Neill are retired as well. Beau Weaver perhaps? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15494-possible-new-logo-for-kmov/#findComment-166252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 804 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 That logo looks a bit like WGCL's current one. Quick question: Is WALA's master control hubbed out of Atlanta?

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I believe so. Funny thing was that under Emmis, it was a spoke on their hub in Orlando when their building was built in 2002. Lin had to build a master control for them when they were sold. Flash forward to Meredith, and they get hubbed again. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15494-possible-new-logo-for-kmov/#findComment-166395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4745 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Flash forward to Meredith, and they get hubbed again. I hate that when that happens... Hubbed, and not even kissed.
