Sendir 194 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Yeah... wow. Someone did not load the fonts prior to rendering all of those. Sad.
Georgie56 3326 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 This is disgusting and the graphics look cheapened with the choice of font. Just like KMOV and the Belo graphics. Blech. And this is the only time Proxima Nova appears in the graphics (other than the logo). Hope they fix it, and fast.
kfc513 238 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 It gets worse. It seems the font they're using in the titlecards and in the time and temp bug is the default Microsoft Office font, Calibri. That's not Calibri. That's actually Myriad, the default font in After Effects. The time/temp bug uses Verdana. It still makes it look horrifyingly ugly, especially the lower thirds. I can't imagine what the rundown above the bug looks like - if they even use it. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP.
evwalker0901 39 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Looks like WUSA is tweaking their logo too https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=2213541562008001

I find it VASTLY improved over their last one. Not too big on the brick, but it'll do.

Does anyone notice it's like almost a dead ripoff of KUSA? (Which I guess was coming because both stations are channel 9 with call letters U-S-A.)
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 That "9" is a minor tweak of KUSA's current logo.
Georgie56 3326 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 That "9" is a minor tweak of KUSA's current logo. Well, both stations have “USA” in their call letters, they’re both owned by Tegna, and they’re both on channel 9. So why not use KUSA’s 9? Yes, this logo is miles better than the outgoing one.
MyNewsArchive 197 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Stations not using the new graphics yet: - KTHV - KFMB - WUSA - WMAZ - WLTX - KXVA/KIDY - KIII - WFAA - KHOU As far as KYTX's implementation of the new graphics... [ATTACH=full]5756[/ATTACH] WORST VERSION OF THE GRAPHICS I'VE EVER SEEN!!! I hope the designers over at Troika were prepared for this small-market graphics abuse... Actually, WLTX did launched the new graphics yesterday.

I find it VASTLY improved over their last one. Not too big on the brick, but it'll do. I see the aesthetic they are going for. A lot of the older parts of DC are all brick - look at Georgetown, the Smithsonian mansion, and neighborhood on neighborhood. I am wondering about the flat panels mounted on the plexiglass on the corner. Is the glass on tracks so they all can move together or is it designed to be curved and look good when shot properly.

MyNewsArchive 197 Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Better look at the new logo (along with a preview of the new graphics). Looks good.
IndoTVNewsFan 90 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Posted April 14, 2018 [ATTACH=full]5807[/ATTACH] Better look at the new logo (along with a preview of the new graphics). Looks good. Is that the old 1954 logo in behind the screen?

If only the other stations were given the same leeway.

Info Junkie 1286 Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 That KAGS open is a bit WNEM-ish... as in the graphics look like crud compared to its sisters.
Georgie56 3326 Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 That KAGS open is a bit WNEM-ish... as in the graphics look like crud compared to its sisters. Better than KYTX’s awful execution. KAGS is using the proper fonts.
Info Junkie 1286 Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Better than KYTX’s awful execution. KAGS is using the proper fonts. That’s what I meant was KYTX ... I also haven’t seen what WFAA is using for its new logo yet...

Georgie56 3326 Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 I also haven’t seen what WFAA is using for its new logo yet... [MEDIA=instagram]BhAss5DFljM[/MEDIA] I saw this logo used on air for the first time during an in-newscast promo for ABC’s Comey interview two nights ago. Was able to get an image of it today: Also appears at the end of this Daybreak promo that hasn’t made it to air yet: [MEDIA=vimeo]263934182[/MEDIA] Looks like this is going to be WFAA’s new logo.
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 At least the "8" logo is NOT going anywhere.
WestleyWolf 122 Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 i will say one good thing about KYTX. at least they got the weather graphics right.
MikePulse 319 Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 [MEDIA=vimeo]265279431[/MEDIA] Another promo, this time with logo animation. And I dig it. (The promo, anyway. The jury’s still out with how they’ll integrate the new logo)
CircleSeven 1960 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Looks like they're in their "main" studio for the midday show. Could their Victory Park studio finally get that set refresh they needed? May Books start in eight days......
