Journalist 894 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yeah I agree the color palette is definitely weird and really clashes with the set. Not saying the set needs an upgrade cause it was just redone 2 years ago. But it really clashes. Rumour has it they're going for a LXTV vibe.

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Another new cut of their theme has been used on their traffic report segments [MEDIA=vimeo]228697131[/MEDIA] "Newsradio 880"? Gee, I wonder why they couldn't say the call letters. Reminds me of the commercials that KOMO 1000 used to run on KING and KIRO. As far as the WPIX graphics, they are definitely an upgrade (although I do agree the color scheme is odd) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15907-pix-11-overhauls-open-music/page/2/#findComment-184809 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1281 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 While the secondary choice of purple is unique and bold if not oddly different, this updated package is much better than the last, especially with the open. Now they need to focus on having a better set Ehhh, let's not push it right now; the set's not that old yet. A new desk is a better idea.

NEOMatrix 1299 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 They dont have a news crawl in the morning? They probably don't show it online. As far as my two cents on the graphics, other than the bizarre color palette, the look is actually dope.

Info Junkie 1286 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I like that they've gone back to talent bumps, first time excluding morning opens since 2000 that they've been doing that.

Londoner 3 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The new graphics look much more professional - I'm delighted the cartoon-style opens have gone. Much easier to change the graphics than the set but, for what it's worth, I really hope they upgrade that too in the near future.

Much easier to change the graphics than the set but, for what it's worth, I really hope they upgrade that too in the near future. I'd take the music and graphics because the previous version was very cartoonish like you've mentioned. Glad they finally wanted what viewers (including myslef) have asked for. The station is maturing a lot. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15907-pix-11-overhauls-open-music/page/2/#findComment-185371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist 894 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Apologies for bumping the thread. Can't believe this flew over our heads, but I'll like to point out WPIX is actually using two different logos now. (They pulled a WJZ in other words, haha) The old one: And the new one (sans the tagline): The 'PIX' typeface was changed from Microgramma to a custom font. Though I'm pretty sure everyone's aware about the ribbon-like pattern in the circular outline, it appears it's in fact permanent (i.e. to be seen on TV, online, and what I presume to be on other outdoor applications eventually) - and not a single-case render that was once exclusive to intros and promos.

I was looking at the “P” and it kinda looks like Gotham but I’m not sure if it is.

Journalist 894 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I was looking at the “P” and it kinda looks like Gotham but I’m not sure if it is. It's not Gotham. The lettering, especially the "P" as you noted, is more extruded inward in comparison. I would guess it could be an extended variant of Akzidenz-Grotesk.

Journalist 894 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The I and X in PIX doesn't look like A-G to me. You could be right. After inspecting it, the kerning of the "I" is off and the "X" is completely asymmetric to PIX's "X". It's definitely a custom typeface. Though, I've played with it and I got some pretty close results.
