ABC changing their logo; New graphics coming for ABC owned stations


Recommended Posts

Will we see Move Closer To Your World on all the O&O's now? ;D

 

Seriously, though, I am curious as to how (not if... hopefully this message won't eventually be ironic) WPVI will use MCTYW with this graphics.

Noticed this on KITV's updated website today. WEWS called. They want their logo back. Haha. Also to keep it with the thread, new abc logo added for tax. 

That looks so generic that if feels like a 12 year-old Logopedia contributor made it for one of those fake TV station wikis in honor of the TV station serving their SimCity. Alas...it is real.

I just streamed KITV's newscasts on their website as they still have remains of the Hearst graphics.

Indeed. But, to be fair, Lily Broadcasting doesn't have impressive graphics to begin with. As you can see here. It looks like a mix between Hearst and Meredith.

Gotta love the meteorologist in the Hawaiian shirt and the consistency of that forecast.

Don‘t you realize it was recorded 10 years ago - they just re-run the same set each week… 😂😂😂

 

(LA and San Diego are the same way, too…)

Run that in °C, and now you can have the same hourly temperatures for 10 months! 

 

Anyways, to keep this thread on topic, Gray Television's WTVG (a former O&O no less) has switched, but only the bug has the new logo. The opens have not been modified yet unlike KOTA (who also has the new logo).

Just noticed the other night that KGO’s station affiliate logo isn’t the transparent black when returning from break. Just noticed now during the Celtics and Bucks game it’s a full white logo now.
 

Makes sense because the Black ABC7 logo was so hard to see before switching over to the abc logo

Seems like the current Gray MO; WBAY still has the 2013 logo open but the new bug as shown above. But it's more of a 'when we get to it' project anyways.

Welp, it's February 2022 (the first Sweeps month of the year), and none of the 8 ABC O&O's have adopted the new graphics. Makes me wonder if the stations are satisfied with the graphics they have right now.

New promos released by WLS featuring Proxima Nova fonts and a decidedly different end screen. 

 

Proxima Nova will be the new font, and the colors are about right, but this promo is more transitional than a sign of things to come. The station logo is still the old one, as they're supposed to be adopting WABC's new model.

That's a retool of their existing package with new fonts. New promo graphics generally don't mean much.

Not going to lie, this is a pretty nice font, and I hope to see it more often.

Time to blow the dust off this thread. The weather graphics are almost always the canary in the coal mine, the fist sign of changes. These debuted at 4pm, and they align with all new graphic teases I've seen, from the colors, to the font, to even the little arrows that appear in a few spots.

 

Nice reminder: if anyone quotes this post, please remove the screenshots from the quotation box.

Luckily as I scrolled down I saw from the map this is WLS in Chicago.  Are only the weather graphics changed?  Not knowing their current look, it is evolutionary or a major relaunch?  I just switched to WABC and looks the same so far.

I don't know when, but there's no reason to believe that these graphics won't roll out to the whole group, but yes, it's just WLS, and just the weather package...for now. And here's their outgoing look. This is a complete overhaul.

This station has always had one of the best graphics in this market, if not, the country, next to Hearst. The outgoing graphics were 7+ years old and they aged well.

I’ll go as far as to say that the outgoing package looks better than some of the newer graphics packages being churned out by Gray and Nexstar.
 

That said, the new Wx graphics look fantastic. If they are a harbinger for a group-wide package, that will be a welcome development, especially for WABC and other stations with aging/less than stellar graphics.
