GodfreyGR 365 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Not sure if we're tracking affiliate rollout of the new ABC logo here or not, but WDAY/Fargo has been using it on air for the last few days now. Everything on air and on social media is the same with the new ABC logo proportion-wise as it was before. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William1111 41 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Like many people, this new logo rubs the wrong way with me. It reminds me a lot of the "ABC News" logo from the 2016-era fake news site abcnews.com.co Edited August 18, 2021 by William1111 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demanding the “dot” is 75% of the circle 7 basically has the two elements fighting for dominance. Maybe I’ll get used to it...but it’s awkward. Same issue the way KMGH is going! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 658 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I wonder when the owned stations will start rolling out the new logo? I’d presume around Labor Day for the new fall season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent 7 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I wonder when WPVI TV 6abc will roll out the new abc logo to match its 54 year old egg shaped 6 logo. That logo has been in place since 1967 although it rolled out very slowly until becoming the full time logo when action news premiered in 1970. I would think a complete overhaul of the logo would be a big mistake for channel 6 viewers resist change , and they went through this with the short lived action news theme. in 1996. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillynewslover 123 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Technically, that "egg" logo has only been used for about 10 years - the "6" is the iconic part, and they can probably incorporate that into the new logo without viewers getting mad. They could go back to their old 6 in a blue box, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 990 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I just saw WPVI's logo with the new ABC logo during a station ad on COVID awareness. It looks...alright. But the proportion of the new ABC logo looks a bit overwhelming at first. We'll see if it looks better when it officially debuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent 7 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Of course the 6 is iconic its been around since 1967 before action news was thought of. At first I believe it was first used to denote a color program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 4762 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 That's not bad at all. Looks to be abiding by the 60% mandate, and not a pixel more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCAUTVNBC10 367 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) It ain't good but it could be much worse. Also can't help but wonder if that's an element from the O&O package or not although it could pass for something from their in-house look as well.

24994J 4762 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 God, ABC is missing out on a lot of my money by not having a WLS store. The ABC7 flashdrive and Eyewitness News drawstring bag that I got for free doesn't make them much money. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent 7 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Yes about a little less than 4 years before WFIL TV became WPVI TV . The 1963 Triangle logo was still used by channel 6 even after the current logo debuted. By April 1970 when action news debuted the 1967 logo started to be used full time and the 1963 logo was retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsteam13 323 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 REWIND TO 1996 where the ABC very-brief Fall Preview ended with the conductor stepping off the podium to reveal that variation of the ABC logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 4762 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I might've already posted this somewhere, but it's interesting that ABC previewed this new logo 5 years ago, in a long promo for the 2016 Fall line-up. I don't have the video handy, but I took screencaps back then, not knowing it would be official this many years later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
