Jess 1115 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Also, all the opens are randomized. That means there's no one open that necessarily opens each newscast - so you will likely see something different from day to day. I think that's a really cool and unique idea, especially considering that many stations just use the same animation with a different time added to the graphic (if that). Also, I've seen one more animation, bringing the total to an even dozen - 8 dayside, 4 nightside. That seems about right. (Also for those wondering - no, the PHL 17 newscast hasn't changed opens or music) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/7025-new-look-and-logo-for-wcau/page/6/#findComment-66682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProButtonPusher 230 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Welp folks WCAU's got a new open and new music and it looks like they've gone the route that WTVJ has taken by updating the open but keeping Look C for now.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 LOVE the new open and the music package. I believe they are using one of the cuts from The Rock ... one of my fav NBC themes. Good for them picking it up. One of the better themes they had. I like it just as much as their custom NBC10 theme they had years back. Well done.

Right composer, wrong package, wrong production company. It's Chad Cook but it's the 360 music NBC O&O package. Same one KNSD is using just different cuts.

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hate bump this thread from the dead but it should be brought back since it looks like a new look and logo are in order for WCAU in the near future.

AriX 8 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Ugh. I like WCAUTVNBC10's avatar mock-up much better.

Jess 1115 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I, for one, like the new logo. The 10 itself is a very nice, distinctive one that echoes the current logo while not copying it. While yeah, I kinda liked the version Eric mocked up a bit more, I do like how it stands out nice and tall. I also don't know if it's intentional or not, but the logo layout that apparently is going to be used really reminds me of the way the "big 10" logo was laid out during the 80s - smallish CBS eye next to the big logo. I'm actually surprised NBC let them reduce the peacock that much in the new logo, to be honest. Let's be honest, though. The 10NBC logo has been used, unmodified, for over 16 years. That's a long lifespan. And while the big 10 lasted longer, they refreshed the design and layout every few years. I think the brass at 10 has been SCREAMING for a new logo for a long time now (I think that's why they didn't use one in a promo campaign two years ago, and they embraced the block logo more throughly than any other station). It's a much-needed refresh and I can't wait to see it in actual use.

I will say it's growing on me, and I look forward to seeing what it feels like in actual use, whether in advertising, signage, or on-air. And seriously, it's about time the station logo reads the same as the station name. For reference, here are some examples of the 70s/80s treatment of the 10 logo HulkieD was discussing: vs Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/7025-new-look-and-logo-for-wcau/page/6/#findComment-70557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyfla 207 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Makes you wonder how WCAU's logo would look post 1995 if the Westinghouse Deal never happened. Would we be seeing a boring Aerial 10 like the other CBS O&Os nowadays?

Jess 1115 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 This is what I'm nearly 100% sure we'd get if they sold off KYW. Obviously they'd be using the O&O package now, but I think they'd have become "CBS 10" in May 1997 along with the three CBS 2s, probably with a futura 10 like this. They'd have finally dumped PNP then, and I think they would have moved to Enforcer. I could see them periodically getting different themes, but they would have stayed with the O&O signature. As far as programming and content, CBS 10 would be very, very similar to the CBS 3 we have now. I'd probably go so far to say that the daytime schedule would be identical. As for news, they'd be producing the normal lineup for them and 7-9 and 10pm newscasts for their CW duopoly partner: If WCAU stayed CBS I'm pretty sure Fox would have gone through with its purchase of WGBS. Paramount would have kept 29, switched it to UPN, and would have gotten the CW affiliation for the same reason I think 57 got it for (it was the largest market CBS had a UPN station). And I'm done before this turns into a Fantasy TV thread...

AriX 8 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Haha, nice. I bet if KYW hadn't been forced through the CBS mandate, they'd still have some semblance of a local identity. And in our fantasy land, for God's sake, can they PLEASE still use the KYW-signatured New Millennium package?

Jess 1115 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 And we're now firmly out of fantasy territory because the new logo just appeared for the first time on the air: Yes, it's supposed to look carved like that. The image was made out of cubes of different textures which rotated to the image. Something tells me we're getting something very soon....

The image was made out of cubes of different textures which rotated to the image. Something tells me we're getting something very soon.... They clearly don't have a logo toolkit yet or that logo wouldn't look so sloppy (notice how the peacock and NBC lettering appears squished) so I wouldn't think it would be coming real soon. I'm interested in seeing which look they decide to go with either the KNTV look or the KXAS look (or if they have something we haven't seen yet).
