I hope they auction or sell the remaining spinning cubes. It would be cool to have one spinning around my house...or watching the dog play with it.

TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I thought FOX News didn't spin its cube when it launched in 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2876 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's a step up, but a typeface other than Futura would really complete the upgrade. I'd say "why not look to Sky News", but I think if FNC ever rolled out something that actually looked good, their viewers would revolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3059 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I thought FOX News didn't spin its cube when it launched in 1996. They didn't. There's some '90s FNC videos on YouTube showing a static bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I thought FOX News didn't spin its cube when it launched in 1996. Because it was in a No Spin Zone....sheesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius22 120 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I bet they will use the Green Holiday Variant of that new bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColDayNews 437 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Fox News began to spin the cube in summer of 2001, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 3059 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Have to say, watching this package live for the first time, it looks really good, reminds me of CNN's 2011-2014 look in some parts. FNC finally has a graphics package that doesn't look ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 286 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It's pretty tidy. For consistency's sake, I think they should just use the top bar for everything, but I guess it makes the name strap stand out when it animates on screen.

rkolsen 1675 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Maybe it's me but it looks like they just squared off the main chyron, pushed everything together and centered it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColDayNews 437 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 The squared off chyrons remind me of the package they used from 2011-2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex979 118 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Finally, they have something clean, consistent, and current. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Finally, they have something clean, consistent, and current. I love it. Very patriotic and unifying. A nice combination of Red White and Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4159 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 The earliest incarnation of the logo was flat and a black-red-white color scheme. It didn't start spinning until at least around 9/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorman 93 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It's definitely better, although that's not saying much. I feel like the time ticker/"LIVE" bug below the logo is squished and looks awkward. I would have gone with a completely new logo altogether, but that's just me.

Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Fun fact: according to Joe Muto's book "An Atheist in the Foxhole," the Fox News logo would spin because the static logo from the late 90s and very early 2000s was burning into people's screens because of how much they watched it (back when tube TVs and early flat screens had those issues).

Rusty Muck 4159 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Let's look at it again: Remember that Fox's CSD was among the people ousted with Bill Shine back in April. I cannot help but think that played a part in the rather decent execution here. Now, eliminate the rampant - and unnecessary - usage of L3s and the show logos, and the rather insipid "BREAKING TONIGHT" loop... and that will be a major improvement.

Everyone at CNN and MTV knew that going back to the 80's when the tube projection screens would burn in. To this day there are still old 4:3 tube monitors with the old CNN bug burned it in use in Atlanta. The old CNN engineers always had a few tainted tubes stashed at home for "friends" and co-workers.

Lol, in that case, at least Fox News was courteous enough to try to avoid that. Though surely their logo burning into people's screens would be the ultimate form of advertising. Every time you change the channel, you'd never forget Fox News! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 779 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I like the way they seriously modernized and cleaned up the Fox News look while also keeping it very familiar. Everything is still positioned pretty much where it was before the change. The "channel" in the logo still says "LIVE" and the time. The show title is still below the rest of the lower-third. But it all just looks cleaner. I feel like they wanted to go more like Sky News and borrowed some elements from CBS This Morning, especially near the ticker. If it were up to me, I'd move the clock below the bug as part of the ticker and let the "channel" and "LIVE" section remain part of the bug. (I don't like how the "live" isn't always on the screen when it's live.) Fox News always seemed to have a very amateur and cartoonish look. It's not a surprise that a longtime Fox Business artist finally matured the Fox News look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
