they got the jcbD KOIN pack....I'm a big fan of the logo. It's retro without being hokey, if that makes sense.

I think this looks better on WKBN' date=' than on KOIN.[/quote']

 

Agree. They should use the News in Focus cut for the open too.

This one looks a bit different than KOIN's... more angles to go with the logo. Historically, John Christopher Burns' graphics have had the same motifs and style elements.

I agree that it is a very nice look. I love the WKBN text, since it definitely is inspired by the classic WKBN radio logo, which is still very prominently displayed throughout the building.

yeah....John Christopher Burns visited WKBN before he did their graphics and was inspired by that classic logo....

 

logo inspiration.

 

Looks like it's a slight modification of the KOIN Local 6 graphics. Looks pretty good for the Youngstown market (though that's not saying much).

Yep, that was noted:

I went on Burns's website and examined the graphics. It is a nice look (I've always admired JCB's understated, modest design), but I like his recent work for KOIN better (mainly based on the colors and choice of typeface; KOIN uses Gotham more, and I can't tell what WKBN/WYFX is using).
