MediaZone4K 1511 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Overall, it's very similar to what they had before. I think the look as a whole needs an overhaul. The NBC bug without the white lining looks too cheap and 2D. I'd add some some translucence to the L3, it's very solid.

Geoffrey 779 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 They seem to change their graphics very often. I guess they're really going all-in on the end-to-end lower-thirds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggi 600 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 This actually looks really nice. Kinda reminds me of the GMA look but not as cheap/sloppy. I thought they just relaunched their look but I checked The Other Site and the last redesign was May 2021… so I guess it’s been a few years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1291 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) I still maintain that Savannah Guthrie is one of the weakest anchors in Today’s history BUT she really shines as part of NBC’s breaking news coverage given her legal background.

MediaZone4K 1511 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Congrats. I was seeing her a lot during recent legal coverage and got a sense that her profile was rising. Edited August 11, 2023 by MediaZone4K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freelanceproducer 158 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Sunday Today (sans Willie) updated to the new Today Show look this morning. Its bug has a white horizontal NBC News logo, versus the colorized stack one used during the week. Wonder if Hoda and Jenna are next to update to the new look? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdex86 48 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I tuned into the Today show this morning for the first time in quite a while. I have some questions: Why is there both a “cold open” AND a “warm open” at the very start of the broadcast at 7:00 AM Eastern? It seems rather redundant. From 8:00 AM to the first commercial break, all of the news headlines are accompanied by a graphic that reads “the news at 8”. Why is this? Doesn’t the viewer know it’s 8 AM? It seems kinda tacky to me. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman7885 37 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 When did the monitor behind the anchor desk (covering the corner column) change to have a thick border? Noticed it this morning on Saturday Today - it’s directly behind Laura on the 3-shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fake mullions (referred to as border), help distract from the fact that its a camera feed, and in my opinion it is an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningNews 1291 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 What exactly did they do with that column back in the day? It’s always been there but I don’t remember all of these attempts to disguise it before. The techniques they’ve tried the last few iterations have all been somewhat distracting.

Drew 147 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Way back in the day with Katie & Bryant/matt it was shown as a green marble column and they would pull up the screen that said today all over it when they started the show and then pull it down to show the window. Then when they went HD is when the different tv screens came in. They dropped the fabric type screen when they remodeled again and add the now dropped Orange Room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbsgeo 20 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Plus they wouldn’t center the anchors. The third host/anchor would just sit to the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 779 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I've never been a fan of this look. Either don't put the desk in the corner, or embrace that piece of the building and stick logos there. It looks so poorly done this way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been using the "simulated window" look for years, and when the camera is positioned just right, it is barely noticeable. That is until someone walks by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is until someone walks by. I wonder if they can use the technology in the new Telemundo 47 studio and have it as an LED column, which can change from a live view to specific titles or looks (wishing WNBC had that in their half of the audio).

Embrace it, maybe even stick a Today Show rainbow at the base, similar to the 80s. Edited January 29 by MediaZone4K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
