Yes, the Fox Corporation is keeping the Q13 branding alive and well. Unclear on when Fox would revert the station's newscast title from Q13 News to Q13 Fox News. Whether KZJO would be rebranded as Q13 Plus, that is unclear as well. https://www.q13fox.com/ The thing I find exceedingly awful about this logo is that it's using 3 different typefaces.

I’m more disappointed that they’re reverting back to “Q13 Fox”. I know when KTVU rebranded from “KTVU Channel 2” to “Fox 2”, everybody was up in arms in San Francisco, so they revised it to “KTVU Fox 2”. Let’s see how Seattle will react to “Q13 Fox” making a comeback.

It was never dropped! KCPQ was always known as "Q13 Fox" for the longest time, so this name change is hardly going to be noticed by anyone.

I am totally cool with whether or not the Fox Corporation would revert Q13's newscast title by reinstating the Fox name. I am also cool with whether Fox would keep KZJO's current branding or change it to either "My JoeTV" or "Q13 Plus."

nathannah 2474 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 As of 1pm CT this afternoon, the proprietary Tribune Media system is completely depreciated; WITI has its new website and apps up. You have to download the new app and delete the old one. No graphics changes, nor do I expect any in the next few months. So long, Local TV and Tribune.

MyNewsArchive 197 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 So, KCPQ's Apps are showing a slightly modified logo (sharper corners than current one)... I guess it's time for a new logo...

Roadrunner 217 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Much idiosyncrasy here. #RIPTribune for the end of an era. FOX 6 wears the new FTS infrastructure well though.

Again, I am totally cool on whether or not Q13 would be the only Fox O&O where only the general branding includes the Fox name in the way that WNBC 4 in New York is the only NBC O&O where the NBC name is in the general branding alone.

CircleSeven 1956 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Here's a better look of the new logo with the "FOX" attached to it. It's obvious why they did this. So it can be better aiigned with the Fox logo. I like the 2016 "Q" design better because it stood out more. This just look more..... FOX-ified.

I love both versions, since they paid homage to the original "Q" part of the original Q13 logo that was used between 1980 and 1991.

All the rough edges of the Q13 are exposed and consequently it feels very later 80s, early 90s.

And may go WNBC by keeping the "Q13 News" branding instead of reverting its newscast title, making Q13 the only Fox O&O to have the Fox name in general branding only. After all, the Q13 branding has been well-known for nearly four decades. If Fox decides to change Q13's news branding to "Q13 Fox Seattle News" in addition to adding the "Seattle" part to the general branding, then that is fine by me.

DonDonP1 118 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Well, the wait is over: Q13 Fox Seattle has officially changed its on-air graphics and theme music to the ones used by the rest of the Fox Television Stations Group. It debuted at the start of the Q13 Weekend News at 9 p.m. on Joe TV and I am loving it! Also, Q13 Fox is remaining the only Fox O&O to incorporate the Fox name in its general branding, but not the news branding. That I love as well.eral branding, but not the news branding. That I love as well. Oh, and in addition to using Stephen Arnold's "Beyond," Q13 used a main cut from OSI's "Fox Affiliate News Theme" for the "This is Q13 News" opening title sequence as well.

dman748 1256 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 DMA37Dude also made this explaination in the description of his video (and this might hold the key in explaining why all of the former Tribune stations regardless of who ultimately bought them) are switching out the Creative West pkg Quote All former Tribune stations are being forced to switch graphics in quick order due to Tribune's former graphics playout system being built in Adobe Flash, which is being discontinued at the end of the year. While the stations that stayed with Nexstar are either retaining their existing packages (rebuilt for a new CG system) or picking up existing packages designed for that company, the stations spun to other groups (Tegna, Scripps and Fox) are switching to standardized graphics these companies already use, and installing new CG systems as well to accommodate this, in the case of Fox, Chyron systems. And not only that but all of the former Tribune stations (including KCPQ) are being forced to train its staff how to use and install the new systems regardless of owner. That explains why other former Tribune stations are also switching pkgs.
