Remember, there's no rule saying you can't crop your pics before posting.

KWTV’s.

Not bad -- at least they switched all of the graphics over.. unlike the last one where there was a mish mash of some

KOTV’s Severe Weather intro graphics they kept the three beeps that has been used for years.

Lower third white box is too plain, otherwise pretty good

In a way, the graphics seem like an evolution of Griffin’s previous standardized package with major improvements (better animations, fully streamlined typefaces, slimmed down tickers, etc.) Elements of the package also, for some reason, reminded me of the 2016 WFTV package. They also replaced the Enforcer cuts that had been used since the introduction of the 2010 graphics and standardized KWTV/KOTV logo design (I never found out which series they came from) with cuts from a more recent series of the package. (Curiously, until it moved to the downtown OKC studio, KWTV mixed those Enforcer cuts with leftover cuts from Image News that were still played on occasion during segment preview bumps.)

 

The only issue I have is the sizing of the “Oklahoma’s Own” slogan in the bug, which is too small and probably could have had the possessive “Oklahoma’s” broken into two lines so it could appear remotely legible within the bug. The ticker font also could have been made slightly larger, and the text speed of the tickers used for the morning shows and sports segments could be increased a bit. (I also have minor quibbles with 1) the wind speed in the current conditions graphic being listed as a range, a la in the forecasts, rather than the observed sustained winds, 2) the current date in the extended forecast, which could have been left out, and 3) the separation of the dialogue boxes containing the time/date and legend on the radar and forecast models, despite there being little space between them.)
