Georgie56 3303 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Well, I found what the main non-newscast logo will look like. And here's more of the upcoming graphics in action.

NEOMatrix 1299 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Is that the VO from Inside Edition?

GoldenShine9 1513 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 With the competition in different shades of turmoil for the most part (or uncertainty), this may be WOIO's time to finally shine. So far, Gray has been a big step up from Raycom for that station at least... 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/2/#findComment-224353 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 804 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) On 3/31/2019 at 12:08 PM, Big Country News said: Fun Fact: Hot Haus' Matt Quinn is based in Cleveland and has done a lot of work with both WOIO and WKYC. Quinn was behind OIO's famous graphical looks through most of the 2000's. Not a stretch to think they went local again with a familiar face. Much like the Nashville stations do with 615 (WCPM) He's definitely been busy considering some of his recent works and collaborations as of late. https://mattquinncreative.com/projects Edited April 5, 2019 by TennTV1983 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/2/#findComment-224358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2895 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 It does feel like something from TVbD circa 1996-97...

TheRolyPoly 2409 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 It also looks like its going back to WOIO's first-ever branding... 19 News because Gray realized what Raycom and Scripps (KMGH) didn't... that having a city name in a newscast title is stupid. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/2/#findComment-224365 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Looks good thus far! He knocked it out of the park with his prior "19 Action News" work and did a great job on this upcoming look. It's a step up even for Gray. Hopefully it will be a long-term relationship that will ensure quality graphics to both legacy and former Raycom stations.

I think both companies went "all in" with Stephen Arnold a few years back. There are a couple exceptions like WSAZ, which still has Gari's NBC Collection (which oddly enough, replaced Arnold's Signature in the great SESAC disaster of 2006) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/2/#findComment-224413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLETVFan 367 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I think the new logo looks great. Layout reminds me a bit of ABC 15 in Phoenix, and even WOIO circa 2002-15. It looks they're going back to full on red considering how blue WEWS and WJW are. I love the idea of going back to the "19 News" name. "Cleveland 19" and "Cleveland 19 News" just never clicked. Now I am wondering if there are going to be more changes beyond logos and graphics at WOIO (and WUAB). It's safe to say that the last three-plus years have not been going well for WOIO, and a better branding is needed.

tjt24 313 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Looking at the DIRECTV guide, it looks like the new graphics may debut on Monday as the guide says "19 News at [insert time here]".
