ctmajka 115 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 What are some bad station logos, or bad variations of station logos that you can think of? One current one that I'd have to say is REALLY bad, is the logo on the header of WJLA-TVs website: http://www.wjla.com/ ...It looks like it was thrown together without a care about scaling the "7" so it fits in the square perfectly, or making sure the "ABC" logo is the correct size...with the size the "ABC" logo is at now, it looks more like WLS's logo rather than WABC's, like it should.
channel2 982 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 K13XD "KXD" has one of the worst offenders: Some advice for these people: POWERPOINT IS NOT A GRAPHIC DESIGN TOOL! And a really bad offender: Utica's WUTR (previous logo): What's sad is that their Ackerley logo was better:
NewsJunkie247 1 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I found a few... ABC in Casper, Wyoming ABC in Harrisburg, PA NBC in Billings, Montana CBS in Macon, Georgia
ProButtonPusher 230 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 oh, and WDHN recently got a new logo--its not "great", but it is much better then that old one
WickedYoungMan 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 K13XD "KXD" has one of the worst offenders: Some advice for these people: POWERPOINT IS NOT A GRAPHIC DESIGN TOOL! It still amazes me that some stations still want to go back to the Arial type. It's so horrible for large presentations and logos like that IMHO.
susquvalleywgal 524 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Kudos on bringing up the ABC27 logo. It is so bad. -- Matt
mre29 1588 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 It's no longer being used, but this one's pretty bad:
hinto 0 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 What's sad is that their Ackerley logo was better: An amusing case of generic branding without consideration of local conditions. Ackerley somehow forgot WUTR is up against this station: Not surprising that WUTR changed its news title to "WUTR Channel 20".
FirstNews8 13 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Ahh..... my vote would go to WTVH... http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0WTbx8y95xIqaMA3EOjzbkF/SIG=12gm1nua7/EXP=1218332850/**http%3A//www.newsblues.com/Secure/Source/Images/Logos/wtvh.gif talk about bland, and poor.... (though the KXD looked AWFUL)
jestbiteme 13 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 When discussing shitty logos, one cannot leave out the current KDKA logo. It's simply shit-tastic! Especially when viewed in negative! The simple fact that they used a cheap (read: free) variant of Eurostile is a harbinger for the future at KDKA, I'm sure. (Cheaper is better, eh Verrilli?) And since everyone I know is resigned to sit back and let the Group W font fall into the past, I could most definitely have lived with this instead of today's bastardization:

Ntropolis 600 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 WENY decided to rip off WTVQ's old old logo and make it worse...

ib-td 1 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 WLUC - Marqutte, MI; by far the worst current logo agreed about the logo, but the station is in Negaunee, MI, just west of Marquette, still, DMA about 3 million
Blargh 2 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Some shitty FOX logos: WEON - Virgin Islands; could have been great without the orange or the use of Arial. KXTF - Twin Falls, Iowa; awful, awful, awful. Stretched, probably-DIY FOX logo, boring font, stretched text and primitive bevel effects combine to create one of the most awful logos ever to be used by a station. WFXV - Utica, New York; again with the bevel! It looks like a 3-minute rush job.
SFTV 540 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 KGTV started to put the ABC logo on their website which is on the top. Kinda horrible but they still dont brand the ABC on their newscasts. You only see ABC on their mic flags. thats it but to me, the placement is bad on the 1O. they should put the logo on the bottom like this
Chief-O 34 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Someone already said WLUC, so I have to say WLAX/WEUX.
PelicanGuy 117 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 WENY decided to rip off WTVQ's old old logo and make it worse... I have no words for this horrible piece of work...
newsie 11 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 WENY decided to rip off WTVQ's old old logo and make it worse... Piece of shit.
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 WEAR in Pensacola Should the numeric logo be easy enough to figure out if it's a "3" or a "13"?
Que 73 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I don't mind the logo....you'd have to be an imbecile to think it's a "13". I agree. Maybe if they got a decent graphic package that works with the logo, it wouldn't be so bad.
WXmanTim 88 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I have no words for this horrible piece of work... Could be worse... You could be creative services at KLBK-Lubbock and render a badly photoshopped ripoff of WHAS: // or WABG-Greenwood, MS and utilize a badly photoshopped (or, more likely MSPaint) ripoff of WFSB //
ctmajka 115 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 I think KVIA (In their attempt to create a personalized ABC-7 logo) completely butchered the logo...the curve of the "Circle-7" is TOO thin, and the ABC looks like the "ABC Kids" logo...In fact, the whole logo itself looks misshapen, almost warped. I think it should look like this:
