PTVNews 177 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 KOIN is about to debut a new set, and some signs point towards new graphics as well, but I'm not sure. They've been using a new look in topical promos and sponsor billboards. Does this look like a current Nexstar package or something new? I feel like I've seen this before, but maybe not. It's a flat design, boxy, blue/teal and gray with a bit of yellow accent. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSZNews 1032 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Looks a little like it's trying to be WISH, but flatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1276 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I wouldn't be disappointed if KOIN got the standard-issue CBS graphics. However, these topicals do look worthy of a bigger market such as Portland, so kudos to Nexstar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Buck 31 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) I've noticed that the CBS eye is more prominent than before; they've only started using it a few years ago. Portland tends to use call-letter branding rather than network branding for their stations, except for KPTV.

HulkieD 1106 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 They went live today. Looks like a Nexstar-esque set but these graphics definitely look different from the normal stuff. It actually gives off the vibe of the pre-standardization WBZ look. I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTVNews 177 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 They debuted at noon today. Anyone recognize the music? Overall fairly nice. I like the set better than the graphics, but I'd say the graphics are fresher and better than their old look. I like the design but the accent colors ruin it. Too much red and ugly shade of yellow, especially in the weather graphics. The open is nice, but I don't like how it quickly shows the title slate and then goes to the slogan. Wish it stayed put. I do like how the transitions animate and how the lower thirds look. Kinda similar to their old look. They expand or collapse their length based on the amount of text. The ticker is way too big though. It's almost the same size as the main super line. Interestingly, it seems like the live bug is just like their old version.

Ntropolis 590 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 The graphics/animations themselves look pretty good for Nexstar. Probably one of the better packages they've put out lately. But that color scheme is gross and looks like a PowerPoint 2007 template. Those two shades of blue do NOT work together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against the standard Nexstar CBS affiliates graphics package but it's nice to see that a large market station like KOIN will have something that is somewhat still unique in comparison.

One complaint … Something needs done with the time. Bleeds into the logo. I'm sure they will address that. -- Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttvn2000 267 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I want to like this - as it is definitely “on trend” in terms of a flat design. But - the open is sloppy and clearly inspired by TEGNA. (Diagonal stripe pattern is an obvious similarity.). I do like the transitions and wipe/masking effects. The set is a nice variation of what we’ve seen in recent Nexstar sets - similar to WISH but with an overall “darker” palette and varying textures. Plus, unique features like the bridge cables and street patterns really bring a “local” flavor. In this age of consolidation, I appreciate Nexstar’s approach to individual station branding and identity. (Which is obviously a remnant from Media General and Lin.) I wish TEGNA, Scripps and Sinclair would take a similar approach, It’s standardization without being too cookie cutter - offering options for individuality amid a slate of consistent design elements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSSZNews 1032 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) A real shame KOIN dropped The Unexpected—they commissioned some really nice updates to that package. That aside, I’m not as thrilled with the graphics as others here, but it works well as a non-network branded package, much like the “ABC” Nexstar package.

Guest Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 As mentioned on the Discord, WFLA is set to get these graphics soon, exactly what date is not yet known. I can confirm WKRN will also be getting these graphics, a blue/red variant, by October 1 and possibly new music as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyNews 118 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 WFLA gets them a day after my birthday August 10th. Next Monday and I heard Lehigh Spann day on one of the newscasts that “ we’re almost done with upgrades in the weather graphics technology” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
