Nick from DETROIT 2 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Over the past week WDIV in Detroit has been using a green screen with the current set image as the background. They are using deadshots on the anchors as well giving away the fact they aren't on their usual set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick from DETROIT 2 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 I also am hearing a rumor about them tweaking their logo as well any news on this being true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I also am hearing a rumor about them tweaking their logo as well any news on this being true? I have no idea, best guess is adding a peacock to it similar to what WPLG did adding an ABC logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnuts6 89 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I just hope they get the same type of cool set that WPLG has ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 WDIV debuted their new set today with a new non-angled version of the 4 to go with it. The Click On Detroit logo is also brand new. It looks like something from MSNBC, the first maybe 5 seconds of the video show a tight shot of it. I'll upload from my tuner after the 11pm hopefully with more looks but in the meantime here's a small taste: http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/2-people-shot-outside-eastland-center/27758408 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I love the previous "4" logo. The new one look plain and lacks character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 nice looking set, bad looking new logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Here's a shot at the end of the 11pm news that showed most of the new set, kind of empty in there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1805 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The anchor area is kind of... plain. The grey expanses above and below the monitors (?) on either side of the anchors looks rather boring. Also, it's a partial refresh. The railing on the upper part of the set on the right side of the screen is a dead giveaway. It matches what's seen here. How many studio cameras do they have? Four are visible on that wide shot, PLUS the one that's being used! Five studio cameras?! In Detroit?! Is that really necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do lots of pan shots and fancy stuff like that, this market isn't as small as the 11 suggests either, it's about the same size as when it was #5 and the viewers still expect them to try to act like it.

Journalist 893 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Oh god, that is the worst looking logo I've ever seen today. This, ladies and gentlemen is low quality PowerPoint logos at it's finest. Can you spot the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sums up that WDIV's new logo can be "professionally designed" on a PowerPoint level. That's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well then that's just a crying shame. I hope too much money wasn't spent to create it...as in none...because it would appear that's how much was spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny. I like yours better anyways... It was hard because your pics were bigger on my phone than the logo actually is on the screen so I picked the smaller thinner 4... And still lost. When you actually look at it on TV it's absolutely tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 802 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Through the last 25 years WDIV had some pretty impressive logos, but the current one just scream CHEAP! They might as well stuck with one of these current logos vs the current "new" logo that a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm not sure what's worse; that, or that old WNWO logo, in which Sinclair actually did something decent for once and threw it in the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Oh...so the slanted 4 has actually been around for 25+ years? No wonder people are sp upset then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country News 435 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 So, let me get this straight... WJXT dropped their legacy logo for something akin to WDIV, and WDIV dropped their somewhat legacy logo for something that looks like it belongs at a Gannett station. Hm. Makes you think.

All is right with world now, WDIV should be a Gannett station all things being equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 So apparently, the set was designed in-house, in collaboration with a Livonia-based company that produces trade show displays. It doesn't look too bad for an in-house design, but there's still some nitpicks here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
