eyewitness_news 5 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Looks like they're channeling late-90s TBS Superstation... ...or early-90's TBS Superstation for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 287 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 That logo's all over the banner ads for WWE Superstars on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 gotta be a new logo. Everything is typeset in that "America" font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterlingNorth 33 Posted April 1, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnuts6 89 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsie 11 Posted April 9, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalnewsguy 11 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I miss the old Superstation WGN branding. That logo design was the best, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCirq 148 Posted April 9, 2009 Share 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!)

Spring Rubber 614 Posted May 17, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 The logo looks better suited for GSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterlingNorth 33 Posted June 3, 2009 Share 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
