lugnuts6 91 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Ive been seeing commercials on WGN AMERICA where they are showing what could be ANOTHER new logo, whats with WGN America ?
Jess 1116 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Looks like they're channeling late-90s TBS Superstation...
eyewitness_news 5 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Looks like they're channeling late-90s TBS Superstation... ...or early-90's TBS Superstation for that matter.
mightynine 290 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 That logo's all over the banner ads for WWE Superstars on their website.
Jess 1116 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 gotta be a new logo. Everything is typeset in that "America" font.
lugnuts6 91 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 it was also shown during a commercial for their "WINSEARCH" contest
SterlingNorth 33 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I really think it will be the new general logo for WGN America as well. The logo doesn't really blend in with the rest of the wrestling ad, or evoke the idea of wrestling in any way. Say if it appeared in their "retro-night" promos, I could see it as simple faux-throwback variation. But with it sticking out so out of place on a wrestling promo leads me to think it was conceived independently of the wrestling ad.
lugnuts6 91 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Posted April 7, 2009 Its now official..Just saw an ad for the Cubs and Houston Astros and the NEW WGN america logo made its debut! I wonder just how long it will be before they dump WGN News from the lineup?
newsie 11 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 While watching Becker this evening, I noticed that the bug has been changed to this new logo. I don't like it.
socalnewsguy 11 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I miss the old Superstation WGN branding. That logo design was the best, in my opinion.
RetroCirq 148 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 While watching Becker this evening, I noticed that the bug has been changed to this new logo. I don't like it. Personally, I feel no indifferent to the original WGN America logo. I mean it is trying to grab viewers out of TVLand. And you know what's different, the so-called sonic logo. (Reminds me of the Close Encounters chimes!)

tw-804 193 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I like their new ad campaign. Article from Futon Critic: http://tinyurl.com/atbb6m
KRAP-TV 146 Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/creepy_eyes_be_gone.php That "theme" is gonna get on my last good nerve.
Spring Rubber 715 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I noticed WGN America decided to skip airing the WGN News at Nine this evening, but the news is still scheduled for every other night in the foreseeable future on their schedule. Is this some kind of test run to see if they do better without airing the news?
SterlingNorth 33 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Old news, but here's an article on the thinking behind the retro-logo for WGNamerica. Consensus seems to be "At least the eyes are gone."
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Consensus seems to be "At least the eyes are gone." The only good thing to come out of this.
