HSV cheesehead 88 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 With the premier of Investigate TV+ coming on the 11th next week, does anyone think that a lot of stations will switch to the GrayONE graphics? I certainly would not find it surprising, given the publicity of the premier of Investigate TV+. Also, WAFF in Huntsville has been airing promos that show pieces of the new graphics in the background of shots. This started in the early days of July, so they must be approaching the unveiling of the new graphics, hence my theory of graphics switch on the 11th. Thoughts?

This is different from the one @Axiom81 shared a few months ago, but the basics are about the same. Apparently WBTV got the GrayOne graphics today along with the new logo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad they changed their plan and decided to keep the legacy 3 channel branding in the new logo. WBTV has a strong familiar heritage as Channel 3 going back to the analog era as the first TV station in the Carolinas. Although they did eliminate the CBS logo from the new brand.

compubit 670 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I’m liking their implementation - mostly due to not using the extra bold fonts everywhere. (Though a little mixed case text wouldn’t be too bad). My biggest complaint on the font is that the M looks out of place, as the inside doesn’t appear to even go halfway down the letter… Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fix the "M" and I could tolerate the font. It just has that Nexstar vibe to it based on that one package (that WSPA also uses). I really wish Gray would have sprung for a better font. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 748 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 The M is so much tolerable than Monserrat's G's that a lot of Nexstar stations use 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) WALA in Mobile has gone GrayOne as of 4pm yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyX76AamMjY The lower thirds (and font changed) but much of the existing package remains the same. Being a former Meredith station, it's basically the same package GrayOne was based on. It's a nice change over the canned Meredith look they forced on their stations at the time, even though it uses the same color scheme.

Denver Murray 9 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 WWBT NBC 12 will reveal their new GrayOne graphics at 4:30 a.m. Monday (tomorrow morning!) I was able to confirm this by someone I know who works at the station. They will be using a red theme, similar to Atlanta. Their "livestream" graphic is already up, so here is a first look before they officially change tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't expecting Stephen Arnold's Unite package (one of my faves) in Richmond. Plus, it's gonna be weird seeing red graphics (outside of breaking news) on NBC12 instead of blue. Plus, someone should update its sister station WUPV's listing on the NMSA. They dropped Inergy years ago (they used The Rock along with WWBT). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver Murray 9 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 WIS-TV Columbia looks REALLY good. While I like NBC 12 WWBT Richmond, I am kind of disappointed with all the red. I mean, that's something that Cleveland 19 News would do. The blue colors in the background with WIS with the red in their logo looks fantastic. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
