rkolsen 1685 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Shiba Russell has posted a story on Instagram of a new set. Today they were rehearsing but not much was seen and yesterday (I didn’t get a capture) she showed some work going on from the desk.
sfomspphl 498 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 That was short lived for the prior one. And deservedly so -that TEGNA cost cut box was barely a set. Hope they get something more grand and traditional.
JacobC 44 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Another set in almost six years along with the graphics??? what happen to 11Alive
KRAP-TV 146 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Their current set is a dog. Glad it's getting the heave-ho. Here's to hoping the new one will be better.
Breaking News 838 Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I hope it not the same as the other TEGNA outlets have..WUSA9 is about the only one in the group to talk about.
Samantha 2898 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 As sad as I am to see the jcbD classic go, the existing logo had become a poor fit for social media platforms and Tegna's logo system...
GoldenShine9 1514 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 That logo reminds me of the old WTOL logo...and Tegna just acquired it, coincidence?
Jess 1116 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I like that new logo. Bold and it works with the branding system. As good as the jcbD logo was, it aged kind of horribly. Some of the later Gannett/Tegna packages used it in not great ways.
sfomspphl 498 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Looks somewhere between the 11 used on KARE and the 80s 11 Alive 11, but not italic. Was wondering if there was any shot they'd ditch that early 90s logo - never cared for it but figured it was in the market so long they wouldn't dare touch it. Good for them - this is a better logo for television.
Action Newsroom 1299 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 The logo looks like WPIX's logo from the mid-90s to mid-2000s. I like it too. Looks like something that could work today and last for the next decade or two.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 947 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 If that is the new logo, at least they didn't go the WVEC route and just use the Proxima font for the 11.
TennTV1983 806 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 That is definitely a modernized nod to their past incarnation back in the 80s. I think it has staying power. As much as I liked the one they've had since the 90s, it was time for a change to something more legible.
MidwestTV 1240 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I think it might be a bit better if there was the slightest serif on it, but are we just going to ignore that slogan? "Where Atlanta Speaks"? What?
Georgie56 3324 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Eh, not awful, but I agree with @MidwestTV that it would look better with a serif. Otherwise, if they were aiming for a non-serif, I would’ve just imported WHAS’ 11.
NEOMatrix 1307 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 For once, Tegna actually did a decent logo. Granted, I would've preferred using the KARE "11", but considering how they could've went with the KTHV "11", I'm happy.

Info Junkie 1286 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I dislike it too. @NESTLEH showed it to me and I described it was “hideous.” But whenever the set and logo go live, I’ll be updating the WXIA news open video.
TriadMetrolinaNewswatch 17 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 UGH, 11 Alive is now "11 Dead"......... This is the worst case of a novelty name for the process that Tegna puts their stations through to bring them in line with corporate standards infecting a station, and yeah @TheRolyPoly, I am going to barf too!
rkolsen 1685 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Posted January 18, 2019 What I’m wondering are there any buildings in Atlanta that have sloped roofs like the logo ? Im just assuming this is a new logo as it’s on something official.
