CaptainNews 285 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Almost a week later and WJZ has yet to reply back to my email as to whether or not the graphics will be CBS ones. Because they won’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
news89 467 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Because they won’t. Because there is only one JZ. This just aired before the 11pm news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4162 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Someone went to the trouble of using the "CORRECT" Group W font for the 13 :thumbsUP: Friends don't let friends wear Anklepants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journalist 893 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 The correct logo being used. No new graphics yet...whatever 'JZ. That looks nothing like the 'correct' logo WJZ is currently using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainNews 285 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 That looks nothing like the 'correct' logo WJZ is currently using. I just found it, I also realized that the 3 wasn't the correct one. I will put the "Fake News" hammer on that myself. EDIT: It was corrected.

Samantha 2876 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Traced 3 but correct CBS eye. I don't get this station. Design-wise, it needs to be blown up and rethought from scratch, preferably by people that haven't lived in Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBZ will work if they can't reach those stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1675 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 1995 called. They want those time and temp bugs back. On Vimeo you see stations posting confirmation of that they aired sponsored time/temp bugs. KNTV comes to mind but others do it. I think WJZ the only one in Baltimore to do time/temp but WBAL does sunset time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Can someone do the "3" comparison as well between WJZ's and Group W's ? I wanna see it for myself, just like the CBS eye comparison that was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1675 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Is this a weather graphic from the CBS package, made by them, or perhaps an accuweather one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOWERCASE GUY 242 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 That's Baron LYNX. I have the same terrain, etc. at my station. (I use a Silver terrain though.) That is one of the daily explainer graphics that Baron sends down every day. I attached the Interface, as well as the original graphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Because there is only one JZ. This just aired before the 11pm news. [ATTACH=full]5059[/ATTACH] That logo render, to me, looks like it was done in New York, where the standardized graphics come from. (CBS isn’t hubbed per se like NBC, right?) It looks... slicker I think?... than the other variant in use. The rest of the time/temp graphic is barfy though. This look is going to be halfassed in some way. Either they use the standard look but do whatever the hell they want to do in the promos, or they customize it in some horriffic way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had the logo animation just like the other CBS stations where the eye and number come in, in a glare and star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webovision 202 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 That logo render, to me, looks like it was done in New York, where the standardized graphics come from. possibly. no doubt wcbs would be willing to help out the aesthetically-challenged wjz art department, but for most of the o&o stations, they just got the wcbs graphic files dumped into their lap, with some varying amount of oversight from NY... people say "cbs mandate" on here like there are written rules... which is not really accurate... wcbs designed the look and just sent it out... nobody was forced to change their logo to be gold... they just decided to on their own... with all the hubbing cbs has done in the past year (traffic got hubbed, and now master control is up) there are rumors going around that graphics is next... but for now... the local art departments handle 99% of the work.

I wanna see it for myself, just like the CBS eye comparison that was done. Just look at the logopedia page for WJZ-TV. The alteration to the typeface was very subtle and happened with the 1998-era logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 That's Baron LYNX. I have the same terrain, etc. at my station. (I use a Silver terrain though.) That is one of the daily explainer graphics that Baron sends down every day. I attached the Interface, as well as the original graphic. Thanks for the explainer. I wasn’t sure. For a while after they switched to Baron Lynx some AccuWeather maps were still imported and on their website. What’s a bit odd is that under their weather section they have a bunch of WeatherUnderground maps. But I realize the WU stuff is probably from corporate and in conjunction with their TWC/WSI weather apps. Also I thought WJZ completely killed off their radar when they upgraded to LYNX as they haven’t showed the old radar style on air since it’s debut. However loops look like they are still being exported to the website. Maybe their radar graphic in LYNX incorporates it with the NWS/TDWR ones.

bmasters1 377 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 You can't tell me that implementing the current O&O graphics package, with a redo of the logo to that blue-and-white color scheme and the correct Westinghouse "13," wouldn't work. True-- IMO, the "13" as it looked when WJZ was ABC in Baltimore looked a smoke of a lot better then than it does now with 'JZ being CBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
