VHSgoodiesWA 303 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 KAPP/KVEW central WA is still using the pre-2021 logo in their IDs and promos. I'm pretty sure ABC will persuade them to change to the new look by the fall season.

24994J 5549 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Yeah, it's gonna be rough enough when each station starts adopting it, and 200 stations get individual posts on here. There is NO need to announce that a station has NOT yet made the change. Those posts will be hidden, and repeated infractions could be treated like spam. 3 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18301-abc-changing-their-logo-new-graphics-coming-for-abc-owned-stations/page/5/#findComment-263941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every big network logo refresh, Wikipedia gets folks who have to be 'first' to update a logo...and then upload terrible 'point at 80s TV' screenshots, fakes, or tiny 40px versions of the 'new logo' that nobody can really use, or Logopedia-sourced garbage from those false television station wikis that think WNBC was founded by Sony or something. Trying to say 'no, ABC isn't going to revoke an affiliation because a station didn't update their logo' is like taking to a wall with them. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18301-abc-changing-their-logo-new-graphics-coming-for-abc-owned-stations/page/5/#findComment-263945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalLocal 7 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Just found what some of the O&Os (I.e KABC, KGO WLS) logo will look like. Yes this may be official. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18301-abc-changing-their-logo-new-graphics-coming-for-abc-owned-stations/page/5/#findComment-264090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5549 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Considering that KABC ad still uses the current coloring of the 7, I'm not sure that's entirely the final design, but it almost seems like the O&O's are rebelling against the size mandates. WLS just ran a graphic for the upcoming 'Windy City Weekend,' and it features a logo closer to current WABC, who I imagine will also adopt this version. The slightly different circle 7 is straight out of New York, and the ABC placement is sized and positioned in an almost compromise middle ground between what WABC and WLS have been using. Personally, I don't care for it, but I'll adjust. With current WLS over new...

Former O&O WXYZ looks like it’s going all in, because they use the ABC logo to the right of the Circle 7, thus making it easier to implement. It’s closer to the version WXYZ used in the early 2000s for their general program promotions. The only concern is, will they change the Action News logo. My guess is, they are already working on that. I don’t think ABC affiliates WEWS (Cleveland), WCPO (Cincinnati) or WJLA (DC) have used the new ABC logo as of yet. Those three stations, two which are owned by Scripps, might be rebelling.

From what I can see, it does have the new ABC logo. But the logo itself looks very poor. It looks like a scrap attempt to reposition WKBW, but it is really lacking an identity and has really a small-market vibe. Doing away with the Circle 7 would be detrimental for the future of the once-proud station. Anyway, back on track...

appleachian 131 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I’m watching the Tulane/Oklahoma game and the ABC bug is still the old logo. Promos for shows in the bottom right uses the new logo. The bug on the left is the old embossed logo. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18301-abc-changing-their-logo-new-graphics-coming-for-abc-owned-stations/page/5/#findComment-264352 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabceyewitness 818 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 With WABC updating it’s bug during news to the new ABC logo, but not updating it elsewhere just yet, I’m assuming a graphics update may be on the way. I know the initial reports on the new ABC logo said the owned stations would roll out new graphics. I wonder how soon that will happen. I also wonder how uniform they will be since ABC has traditionally given their owned stations more freedom than other O&O groups. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18301-abc-changing-their-logo-new-graphics-coming-for-abc-owned-stations/page/5/#findComment-264460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It speaks to the strength of WABC’s news team that they’ve maintained years at #1 with some of the worst graphics and iffy sets in the market. KABC and KGO have better looks and sets. The flat abc logos from the 90s looked better than the 2021 flat logo. Perhaps because it’s surrounded by graphics that don’t match and is on a hd not sd television.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Do we think new O&O graphics will roll out this week or next week? WABC used the new ABC logo in their 9/11 coverage, but just during the opening graphics. The bug used the old ABC logo, which is odd considering normal news coverage has been using the new logo in the bug and the old logo in the opens. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18301-abc-changing-their-logo-new-graphics-coming-for-abc-owned-stations/page/5/#findComment-264757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
