tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 So is WKYC getting a circle 3 logo or is this sarcasm? Dead serious here. I don't know what to think anymore from whatever comes out from Tegna these days.... 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17309-the-3-thread/#findComment-232340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way News With A Twist can exist peacefully amongst good and semi-decent products. In Tegna's case, they've taken successful stations (and a cellar dweller or two) and driven them into the ground (further) with their "forward thinking" WKYC and WWL were once decent stations (WKYC was finally clicking after DECADES of failure) to have been fixed to death by Tegna.... WSYX at one point in the early 2000's was so desperate, they went to an (almost) all-chick news format for a while. It flopped.

Someone saw the "3" in the universal film leader and decided 'hey, this is good enough'; It's just kind of blah...WISC did a much better rendition of the 'circle 3'...hopefully it has a little more life in actual use.

Action Newsroom 1283 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) 19 hours ago, jbnews said: This is really interesting. I don't mind the name changes (I like "Go!" a lot.) It'll be neat to see how the relaunch goes. They are trying something SO radically different. And I give them props for having the balls to do it. Studies show younger audiences think local news is formulaic and boring. So this, in my opinion, is a good way to shake it up. Agreed. I like that they're trying something new with their news programs that don't look or sound monotonous (not a dig at stations that do have uniformed news program names as many are iconic) and I wish them luck. And the names aren't that bad (or rather bad at all) to me either. On the other hand... 10 hours ago, news89 said: That is bad. It reminds me of the first logo of The U.K.'s Channel 5. But their logo works because it's a station where news isn't it's main focus. This station's logo does not work, because news is.

Conrad 113 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) WKYC would be better off using the logo used in the Troika demo video from 2018 that is similar to the current (soon-to-be-former) logo, except that the 3 is unitalicized and there is no line. But the new WKYC logo that's coming out later this month, right when the 2019-2020 television season starts, is/will be by far the worst logo I have ever seen. It just keeps getting worse and worse with every new logo coming from TEGNA. What's next, KPNX changing from 12 News to just 12 (i.e. 12 at 6)? Oh wait, they already did that with 12 Today. And WTLV had "12 at Noon" and "12 at 11:00" pre-First Coast News. Back during better times for Gannett, of course. You never know what TEGNA will do these days. I've seen bad. The new Circle K logo. The new WEWS logo. The new WXIA logo. The new Save Mart (supermarket chain in CA and NV) logo (at least the green and orange colors help an otherwise bad logo). Save Mart's sister chains Lucky and FoodMaxx also have new (bad) logos. And I saw the new Pizza Patrón logo. It was horrible and I miss the old one. But the new WKYC logo makes all those look okay to great in comparison. Have you seen the new Save Mart, Lucky, FoodMaxx, and Pizza Patrón logos or even heard of those chains? What are otherwise bad logos seem more tolerable than this crap that is coming out of TEGNA.

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Well, the last logo had a good run and evolved pretty well over the last 25 or so years. I remember the "We're building our station around you" campaign which literally featured shots of the logo being designed and physically crafted... Now all I can think of are elevator buttons, pool balls, road signs, and however else this logo sucks. I don't even think an NBC peacock could save it. So much talent in that building over the years with all of the innovation and breaking the mold and putting out a quality product. Then came the broken fax machine, and their best efforts to work around it. Ever since C Clarity hit the air, it was only a matter of time before the product was trashed.... I can only hope that Russ Mitchell ends up hosting the CBS Evening News (like he should have years ago) when their latest effort flops, yet again....and WKYC will hit the basement again like they were pre 1994...... 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17309-the-3-thread/#findComment-232417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
