Mrtraveler01 737 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I miss the old vertical rundown on the left side of the screen. I was the opposite. I couldn't stand the "vertical rundown" on the left side of the screen. It made the screen looked all cluttered and junky. I like having it on the bottom of the screen now instead.

SterlingNorth 33 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 No I was talking about what Raymie described of Jean sweeping the old graphics in to the newer graphics. I wasn't talking about that vid. I've seen previous vids at which they'd use the new Gannett design for promos. But thanks for showing me that vid. I wonder if NWCN would also get the graphics as well. That would be this video, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 That would be this video, then. Yep. Thanks for the clip. And here's KING 5's news report about the upcoming gfx change come Wednesday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdVsxw9BufM Video Courtesy of KupertSaykoya from YT.

Viper550 268 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It's official now: KING's got the Gannett graphics now. Good time for a change: the old Belo look wasn't aging very good (it looked about 2006-quality). It's different, to say the least. Its fitting that it has that Windows 8 vibe to it, given it's Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriElectra 291 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Also of note, from that video, if you look closely at the program running, it says "G3 Vertigo Test". First off, I thought that they had renamed G3 to The Mill; second, unless Vertigo is the name of the program they were using or the control room software they use, this means that Gannett's internal codename of this package is Vertigo.

GoldenShine9 1509 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 The other KING-associated stations (KREM, KTVB and KGW) would make sense to follow next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Vertigo is the name of a broadcast graphics platform. Miranda; wasn't Belo supposed to be standardizing around them with that aborted KHOU package? Maybe they ported the new Gannett system to be compatible with it?

cbs4dallas 17 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The big question... Who is next to get the Gannett on-air graphics? I wish it was either WFAA, KHOU, KENS or KVUE. Also, who is next to get the Gannett website redesign? Only KVUE has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanewsguy 509 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 From tonight's 5pm newscast. Those graphics clash with the set. Not good at all... Also, are they using This is Home as the theme music or still with Tower V2? Everybody is mentioning graphics but not once have I seen anything about music... The other KING-associated stations (KREM, KTVB and KGW) would make sense to follow next? Why would KGW get the graphics? They are a Sander station. Besides, their current in-house graphics are so much better than this Gannett corporate crap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cut they're using sucks. Can't wait for the other stations to get this.... To the uploader of that video: Recorded via KING-DT on Cogeco Digital TV (Oakville) Ch. 719. Uhh, hate to break it to you but you recorded that off their webstream. Sorry, something I'm nitpicky about and why I usually don't watch that particular user's videos...

news89 467 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 that look doesn't fit KING 5 at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanewsguy 509 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 that look doesn't fit KING 5 at all. I agree. I have a feeling it won't fit KENS 5 either. It also won't go with their set at all. I actually kind of like the cut.. This is Home isn't a bad package. My favorite cut is the one WUSA uses to open their newscasts. I was hoping they would use that cut. I also like the image campaign so hopefully they will get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Gannett decided to stay with the platorm but instead of rolling out the Belo/Hothaus GFX, went with their own stuff. Since their legacy stations are still on Dekos as far as I know, my guess is those stations will get Miranda equipment as well. G3 was always G3. The Mill was the design agency brought in to consult on this look. My positive attitude about this look has not and will not change. It's refreshing, striking, and perhaps since they're on a modern platform, possibly capable of more eyecandy as well. It enhances the editorial content substantially, and it looks pretty damn good to me as a web designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks...cleaner than I think a lot of us are used to seeing in American TV news. It's also brilliant with its cross-coordination with the USA Today colors and thus the station websites. The best design principles work in any medium. Many TV station graphics would not cut it on the Web or in print. This is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many TV station graphics would not cut it on the Web or in print. This is excellent. They're not supposed to.

Since you appear to be the expert on this subject what is the "best" / most powerful graphics engine platform? VizRT, Avid, Chryon, Vertigo, Orad or something else? Seems like Viz has been the latest go to platform. Also I agree that KINGs set does not match the graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VizRT, Avid, Chryon, Vertigo, Orad or something else? Seems like Viz has been the latest go to platform. Also I agree that KINGs set does not match the graphics. I'm pretty sure a new set will come as soon as their building situation is settled. Whether they stay at the current spot or move into a new building is unknown, but no sense of investing in a new set until all the puzzle pieces are in place. As far as the graphics are concerned, no sense in waiting for a new set as these were much needed. Who knows, by the time they decide/complete a new set, Gannett might very well be introducing a whole new graphics package.
