ctmajka 112 Posted August 8, 2008 Share 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.

WickedYoungMan 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Share 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.

hinto 0 Posted August 9, 2008 Share 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".

jestbiteme 13 Posted August 9, 2008 Share 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: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4203-bad-logos/#findComment-38980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ib-td 1 Posted August 10, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4203-bad-logos/#findComment-39030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blargh 2 Posted August 11, 2008 Share 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 527 Posted August 12, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4203-bad-logos/#findComment-39174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que 73 Posted August 17, 2008 Share 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.

ctmajka 112 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share 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: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4203-bad-logos/#findComment-39698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
