The old logo would've worked just fine. It's scripps friendly. Blue and white.

RCA TK47 277 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 It’s bad... and what makes it even worse is that huge space & line between the call letters and the abc logo. It kind of shouts out... “Yup... we are an abc affiliate, but we try to distance ourselves from them.” Lol!

JosiahCubed 280 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Speaking of the new logo (and the old one), they uploaded the 5pm to their YouTube channel. They had the main version of the logo at the beginning of the teaser of headlines, and they went with the variant without the ABC logo at the end of the open. Lastly, the old bug still remains: The version of the logo that they're using on the mic flags and other stuff (non website) uses the 3D version of the ABC logo, not the 2D one.

Roadrunner 216 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 As compared with the bug seen in above video, the new bug is here: Well, it looks cleaner than it was before, but certainly boring. The 'WRTV' being so close to the top of the lower third also makes me... uncomfortable (like it almost looks like it's cut off).

ttvn2000 320 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 A little off topic, but 2020 has not been kind to the visual look of Indianapolis TV. It used to be one of my favorites, with each station having its own unique looks.... But now...bleh. - WRTV: Old Scripps >> New Scripps - WTHR: Custom Dispatch Package with The Tower >> TEGNA look - WISH: Strong Nexstar look remains - WTTV: Cruddy in-house look >> Nexstar CBS rip-off package (that’s a rip-off of the Tribune CBS graphics that originated at WTTV) - WXIN: Decent Trib Fox Look that still looked good after 5 years >> Cheap Nexstar Fox Package Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17928-wrtv-debuts-new-logo/#findComment-248946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 804 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I'm not gonna lie. That new WRTV logo is generic as Hell. It's like they saw what WKYC did with their logo and decided "We wanna do something like that, but without the number and the circle."

Devon 37 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 This is sad, I went to YouTube to look up WRTV and at the top is a channel of a High School whose abbreviations happen to be WRTV. Other than the Mascot they look almost indistinguishable. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17928-wrtv-debuts-new-logo/#findComment-248965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be one of my favorites, with each station having its own unique looks.... But now...bleh. Agreed and a few more thoughts: WRTV: I didn't like the most recent 'rtv6' logo, but the one up-thread (blue, inline 6, in a box) was decent enough in a vintage sort of way. The various Scripps graphics were functional, but nothing to get excited about (I liked the 2007-era graphics that were "inspired" from WLS). WTHR: Old everything was excellent, flexible, and they had used the Tower so long, it sort of became theirs after the O&Os dropped it. WISH: Gets a pass only because that package was designed for it, then spread to other Nexstar stations. WTTV: Haven't liked anything graphics-wise since it became a CBS station, but don't really think about it either. WXIN: After plenty of mediocre Tribune Fox graphics packages, the most recent was really good and the Nexstar one is close enough that some people won't notice, but just isn't as good.

tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Tegna called...they want their logo back. I guess they're afraid of sinking into "6th" place.... They should have taken a cue from WCPO, since "9" and "6" are essentially the same. 23 hours ago, RCA TK47 said: It’s bad... and what makes it even worse is that huge space & line between the call letters and the abc logo.

Not like channel is 36, 46 or 56 (all lexington channels, we must love our 6's here). It's 6.
