WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Apparently, WVEC decided to switch their graphics up starting with tonight's 5:00 newscast. Banner grab comes from the website. The website hadn't shown a main change at the time I checked (about an hour ago). EDIT: Apparently it's too small to see with the naked eye. Clicking on it may help, if not you can check the website.

Ntropolis 596 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yes, if you click the attachment it becomes larger... I take a nap and sleep through all the newscasts and I miss this It's... different. Was definitely not expecting this (I'm sure the 1992 rebrand was a surprise too, but I was too young to remember). Looks better on TV than on that banner, you can watch some videos on their website... I kinda like the spinny bug. Is there new music?

Ntropolis 596 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I think they're using Always Worth Your Time, but I'm not sure... http://www.wvec.com/video/topvideo-index.html?nvid=408733 edit: just saw a topical, they are. Guess they traded a mediocre music package for a good music package, and a good logo for a mediocre logo.

abric 178 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 "Williamsburg residents on guard after shopping center robberies" shows the new open. http://www.wvec.com/video/topvideo-index.html?nvid=408736&shu=1 It really looks nice, a bit busy but nice. The music is Always Worth Your Time by 615. The graphics are still in their favorite blue and yellow scheme and are simple and effective. The logo is a bit big, but now there is kinda a mesh of graphics and it looks kinda off. Nice for 'VEC to start using the abc logo. I also noticed on the set that the "13 News" logo they had on the backdrop is gone.

newsguy22 59 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 This has been in the works for a few months. I know some of their vehicles had already been taken for rebranding. I'll have to watch LNC at the top of the hour to check it out. Soooo glad "Propulsion" is gone. AWYT is a good one. Their Belo sister WWL in New Orleans uses it.

Ntropolis 596 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Watching right now... the music is fantastic. The graphics look a lot better on TV. The logo will have to grow on me. I'll have the open up on my YT channel tomorrow evening. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5925-wvec-graphics-change/#findComment-55366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsie 11 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I like the switch to AWYT, but the logo will have the grow on me. The graphics are okay, I guess, and that is a huge logo bug.

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Better be ready to go HD if they were going to make such a drastic change. But as far as the graphics, not too sold on it outside of the open (that part was nice). The spinning globe effect could be a bit distracting at times, but otherwise no real change in the lower-thirds (so far).

KRAP-TV 146 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Still no new set?! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5925-wvec-graphics-change/#findComment-55377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsguy22 59 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Nope, no new set. I'm guessing the refresh on the set we saw a while back will be it for a while.
