JackBauer112 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 It looks like KPIX/KBCW in San Francisco's 168 design graphics are being modified. As I looked at the graphics last night, they made some modifications on the lower 3rds as well as the field reports. Personally, whoever did the remake of the graphics did a fantastic job.

Jess 1115 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. They've gone to a blue/yellow look clearly inspired by WBZ - but not the WBZ look outright. There's still a few things that were on the previous package. This makes me appreciate the WBZ look more, because there's such a fine line between simple and cheap. KPIX crosses that line into cheap.

Hometown News 54 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I actually like them, though the transitions on the L3's need to be smoother. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5283-kpixkbcw-graphics-redone/#findComment-49382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

News24/7 3 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The l3d animations need to be a tad faster, and they need a better font Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5283-kpixkbcw-graphics-redone/#findComment-49395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewitness_news 5 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The font ain't bad.....Frutiger? At least it wasn't the Microsoft knockoff of that font. Then THAT would have thrown me off.

There's still a few things that were on the previous package. This makes me appreciate the WBZ look more, because there's such a fine line between simple and cheap. KPIX crosses that line into cheap. I think that the good thing is that they kept their 2007 168 look although as you mentioned that the WBZ/WSBK concept graphics which were created by VDO, I'm kinda glad they didn't go to that route. They just kept their look to a great flow, although I think that they could've done a bit better, it still doesn't look too bad. KPIX/KBCW is always #2/3 although the 10 PM news on the CW faces against KTVU's longstanding 10 o'clock news, they make for some great competition.

PelicanGuy 117 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It's not a bad look, IMO. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5283-kpixkbcw-graphics-redone/#findComment-49407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
