Georgie56 3063 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Pretty good evolution of Look N. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qunewsguy 376 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 A nice, lighter update for sure! No change at WVIT yet but I'm guessing they'll wait til their new set debuts to roll this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I see elements of Look N, Look G, and even the Nightly look. It's a really good evolution to Look N that really cleans up the presentation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ref1997 59 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Tough day for WMAQ to launch a new look today given the busy news day of tornado aftermath. Edited June 21, 2021 by ref1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medianext.MX 50 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Great update of Look N!!!! It looks very good and, as said, it mixes elements of that look, Look G and the NECN graphics. I wonder if they were planned to debut for the delayed 2020 Olympics, but, honestly, they update their O&O graphics every Olympic cycle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowBergen 485 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Definitely evolutionary, which is appropriate. We'll see when WNBC switches. So far the previous graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1150 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 These look very good if not great. The change from mainly blue is a refreshing one. Can't wait for these to reach WCAU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This change was likely going to occur no matter the circumstances. I hope that with these changes; they abandon swapping out the color blue for red for breaking news coverage.

ref1997 59 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 How long will we know the name of this new look? I remember the name of Look N was reported by Newscaststudio a few days before its debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5270 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) This new look cleans up so many of the bulky elements from the 2016 version, so that makes it an automatic upgrade, for me. Better balance of the blue and white elements, while keeping the bare bones structure. And I LOVE the flashes of the peacock colors in certain animations. Not divert the conversation, but I need to take a personal victory lap, here. During the pandemic, I screwed around with some ideas for a new O&O look, and I love that the NBC designers had some similar ideas to me. I didn't share these with anyone, and I had no prior knowledge to what was going to roll out. I kind of predicted the time/temp realignment (pic #1), though I left in the old, full-width social ticker and only slightly modified the 2016 L3s. I also tried out a look that emphasized the use of the peacock rainbow on a white lower third (#2). Anyway...

24994J 5270 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 There is a red breaking variant, but it's way more subtle than the old look, so it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooooo happy its not all red all the time. Very subtle. It would be nice if there was a yellow/orange variant for the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5270 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 With the emphasis on the peacock, I wouldn't be shocked if there were other color variants to come, like one for mornings. Seeing more of it, I can't stress enough how much better this whole look and sound is for WMAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
