ScottSchell 355 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Well KJRH is updating their logo from what they have used since 2001 to an ugly 2 and dropping the Works For You name as well. They changed the logo on RoKu, and YouTube, and website but not on social media as of yet. I put 2 pictures of what will be the new logo and a picture of the current logo not sure when this logo will go on air as of this morning for the morning newscast it's still the current 2.

TennTV1983 804 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 It looks like the old 2 WKRN used to use (minus the circle). Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18282-kjrh-new-logo/#findComment-259653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCA TK47 277 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Totally plain and not memorable. I'm sorry... I'm no design guru, but it seems like newly designed logos (no matter what company they're for) over the past couple of years are now lacking creativity and a sense of personality. They are being oversimplified. I think the more lacking in personality they are, the more the viewer won't remember them. One example; Petco has fallen victim to this big time. They overpaid a design firm to pretty much design absolutely nothing for them. Dumb and a waste of money. https://www.creativebloq.com/news/modern-logos-boring Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18282-kjrh-new-logo/#findComment-259679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1566 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I don’t think it’s that bad at all...I think this is another case of freaking out over nothing. It could very easily have been a retro logo, and if it were, people on here would love it.

TheRyan 560 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 It's an exceedingly boring logo, but not the worst I've seen. I wish they stayed with the old logo. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18282-kjrh-new-logo/#findComment-259683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanewsguy 510 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I wish they would include the NBC peacock, but other than that, fine by me. In fact, it reminds me of their old "circle 2" logo. Probably just a heavier weight of the same font. https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/logopedia/images/9/99/KJRH_1996.png Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18282-kjrh-new-logo/#findComment-259688 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a bit of the WMAR logo if I'm honest. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18282-kjrh-new-logo/#findComment-259689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiere 51 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I don't know how nobody has pointed out the similarities with this logo and the old WBBH logo from Fort Myers. The difference being the NBC logo was added to WBBH. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18282-kjrh-new-logo/#findComment-259691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathannah 2428 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Honestly, I never liked the 2000s-era '2' and thought it was a bad design choice from the beginning because it was both offset at a bad angle and was italic, along with the 2000s 'gloss' that just aged badly in 2D form. I would have rather they went back to the circle 2 myself. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18282-kjrh-new-logo/#findComment-259706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they have no group requirement to include network branding in the station logo.
