I love that the two bugs don't agree on the temperature there.

I liked the current logo, it’s a shame they’re getting rid of it. The gradients flowed nicely and it wasn’t irritatingly flashy. The smaller letters in the new one make it look cramped and uninviting. If they wanted to make it plain for digital, I would have preferred the original 1962 one. The reason why flat design is everywhere is because young people, like myself, prefer it. Since companies are desperate to appeal to us, they feel the need to make their branding and graphics as flat as possible. I never understood the need for news to rely on gaudy 3D effects and lens flares. The story should be front and center, the graphics should only supplement it. When I watch or read the news, I want to be informed, not distracted by unnecessary clutter. Sports are for entertainment, so they make the graphics entertaining to watch. News is meant to inform about serious topics, so I prefer flatter and subdued graphics. I’m not saying it’s bad for news graphics to be creative, but it shouldn’t take away from the main subject.

This strikes me as an unnecessary fix of something that isn't broken: What is up with this flat trend?? It's like news graphic design is getting cheaper and unimaginative as time goes on. Sports networks like ESPN, TNT, NBA TV, and FS1 are really exceeding news outlets at set and graphical design.

The new logo is not an upgrade, its just oversized and flat. The current logo is the best ABC ever had.

Personally, how does one get a white-collar, ad agency job where you simply tell your client that old is new again? I would love to be paid good money just to shower my fluff of fresh and innovative ideas, seems like a very transformative profession. I wonder if Troika is involved once again with their new branding identity?

Look out! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Mike Ramirez and Karen Dalton in my oldest Yakima newscast ever! Back for everyone to enjoy! And speaking of, another tiny clip from KXLY...

No one is forcing anyone to watch any of the clips post in this thread, but everything related to a video posted this afternoon has been hidden. In the future, if anyone is ever questioning whether they should post something with potentially sensitive content, feel free to run it by a moderator.

Signage is probably the last on their minds. KGTV still has the signage from the 80’s but modified after the Scripps buyout from McGraw Hill with a spinning 10 on top giving that gas station feel. KTVU still has the old 80’s / 90’s sideways FOX logo with the searchlights.

The last bullet in this slide is the biggest BS.... This change is not going increase the legibility at smaller scales; it will most likely make it worse. That smaller gap in the letter c will be an issue.

Tom Koch singed off today from the show he’s anchored for nearly 40 years (minus the 2 years when he was replaced) and the show has been #1 for virtually the entire time (minus the 2 years where he was replaced). The mayor officially declared today as “Tom Koch Day.” Heartfelt send off for one of Houston’s finest!

Yes, but with far more radical changes than what ABC is trying to pass this off as.

Which is the way we've known NBC for 3.5 decades (anniversary this year)!

In 1986, the peacock logo went from eleven feathers to the current six.

Both the peacock and eye had slight changes done in the past.

It's a black circle with three letters in it. It isn't really that special of a logo, but I guess of course they're going to try and sell the change as new! fresh! and innovative!. There, I said it. Get back to me when NBC or CBS tries to change up the peacock or eye.

I am really surprised this user is uploading ENTIRE Saturday Morning blocks without the video getting blocked or taken down for copyright. I think I saw some of his videos on YouTube recommendations before. EDIT: Never mind. Those Fox Box videos i was wondering about were uploaded by a different user. But still, I am surprised about this.

To be honest, I love the new ABC Circle logo.

Even though my time at YouTube seems to be over, keep in mind that Pepsi9072 (Eric) has been posting selected videos from my collection to YT so at least the memories can return. Also, through a magical method that I cannot disclose, I have been able to upload a few things to the project he manages. It's called "The AVTB Archives". Keep in mind, I cannot disclose anything about how Eric was able to get me this privilege, but it means about twice a week I can post commercials and newscasts from my collection back to YouTube via AVTB. So, a small win I guess?

Time to render is cheaper and uses fewer resources.
