Guest Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 They are getting new ones toward the end of the year. I always thought they were unoriginal for simply mimicking what CNN had at that time..Are they bad? No. But I feel that they overstayed their welcome. Well I like them, one of Renderon's best group packages. I even like the blue and red variant that Cox-owned WJAX/WFOX got. I don't care for the previous Scripps Renderon look (the red and gold one) but I liked that music package from Musikvergnuegen better than Inergy.

rkolsen 1675 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I’m thinking WMAR flipped the Viz Switch. Certain elements such as the chrome separating the “cells” is shinier and the “glass” on the OTS seems clearer. Old: New: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old: New: The easiest way to tell one from the other regarding Viz is to look at the yellow tabs on the lower thirds... the new ones are much darker than the old ones... yes these are Viz graphics...

Thanks. I knew it was the tabs but I thought it was how they animated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 839 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks. I knew it was the tabs but I thought it was how they animated. All the animations should be virtually identical, I will say that the Viz graphics are a bit sharper than the legacy ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Here's a brief montage of Mid Day Maryland a part local show and part pay to play with the new logo. They used a virtual set. The video is still uploading as of this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJAX/WFOX aren't using the Scripps graphics - but they do share similarities. The actual Scripps graphics, however, is apparently syndicated now as KNBN is using them. http://www.newscenter1.tv/story/31013182/watch-previous-newscasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webovision 202 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 could be a good sign... i have seen numerous art departments start to get lazy with enforcing styles and rules when a new package is right around the corner... i doubt this is going to be it... unless scripps is doing worse than we think, and went in-house on the (alleged) new package...

alaskanews 104 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 As mentioned in very tiny text in the original post (why?) these are only graphics for the 5OYS Investigates franchise. Chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realized I follow yourself and dog after looking at your avatar. I read 5OYS as Soys before I realized its 5 On Your Side. Does anyone know if that one Journal station (can’t remember which) still uses the WMAR In Focus graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1365 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 E.W. Scripps said today that it has completed new multi-year affiliation agreements with ABC and CBS Corporation for stations in several markets. http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/113844/scripps-renews-abc-and-cbs-affiliations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1749 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Does anyone know if that one Journal station (can’t remember which) still uses the WMAR In Focus graphics. WGBA was using them for "Wisconsin Tonight", which seems to have been canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc513 225 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I must be the only one who still likes the Scripps graphics and thinks they are aging well. Love the modifications WMAR received.They are getting new ones toward the end of the year. This new weather graphic appeared on WCPO. Could this be part of the new graphics?

Webovision 202 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 oh you guys.... constantly pointing out parts of the existing graphics and thinking they are new... when the time comes they do hint at a new package... everyone is going to be so tired seeing old stuff identified as new... that it will go unnoticed...

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Obviously, I knew that the 5 On Your Side Investigators L3s were custom and based on the current package. The main problem I have is that the current Scripps package is long overdue for replacement. The only solace I have is that the package itself has aged surprisingly well, but I do understand that Scripps wants to give the package a few years on the Journal stations before replacing them group-wide.
