That's why there's a bunch of knockoffs of the Circle 7 (KMGH, WSVN, and so on,) because THOSE don't run up against the ABC trademarked one. Right--I think that's the key. They can't block any of the other circle 7's because they don't go up against a station using the ABC Circle 7. But if the Circle 7 were a nationwide thing (like Burger King), they would be able to.

C Block 1487 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm sure KMGH could switch to the standard ABC 7 logo if they wanted to. But really all they need to do is go back to how it looked before the most recent change with "DENVER" striking through it. The KMGH 1998 logo, with its slight variations over the years, is otherwise one of the better TVbD logos that has stood up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their circle 7 logo they have had since the end of the 90s is the longest one they have used in my lifetime and they have managed to keep their branding consistent. The station's real concern should be with the quality of their news and how it can appeal to more people, they have lagged behind the other stations for so long that they will even have to shake off preconceived assumptions about them in the process.

That was a pretty good logo, if they had kept it like the other stations kept theirs at the time of the switch, it would have maintained local familiarity. Unfortunately KMGH wasn't thinking long term at the time. Or, maybe they could go back to this one, which I think was pretty cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an okay logo for it's time but I can see why it didn't last forever, the 7 looks kind of small within the triangle. A more modern take on it could have a purple triangle in the background with a larger white 7 overlapping it with the ABC logo to the lower right maybe.

Samantha 2876 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I've toyed around with this logo myself. It's cool, but yeah I can see it having sizing issues (I put it in a circle to show a potential social media avatar) and co-branding it with ABC would be a bit of a nightmare.

Why don't they just use a Circle 7 like everybody else? I'm late to this, but what package are those L3s from? I like them for Scripps. Wish KGTV were using them.

Yes, and the triangle 7 works quite symbolically when if you think of it as a representation of Colorado's mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid non editor question: Is the negative 7 space a shape you came up with or text? If so what font? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
