knightofni 2 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 They seemed to be in a panic. Nothing was right...anchors were tense. Could have had production issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNews 54 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I don't think they'll be rebranding their newscasts. When most people hear "News at Ten", they think of WPIX. They've been using that for years. Perhaps "CH.11 News at Ten" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I would love to see them go back to "Channel 11 News @ 10" and "Channel 11 Morning News" again. This would pull a big dent on network part of trying to have a better image. All I want to see their sister station WGN to do is get rid of that CW logo, keep the WGN-boxed 9 as is and stop uttering "Chicago's CW" on some of their promos. That's all I want to see.

DMA 134 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I just captured it. The premise of the ID is that it's like Pong, so the 11 is bouncing around: I like it, it could be a little more polished, but it's certainly unique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very close to the clone of the old 90s 11 logo. That looks very tight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHawk447 17 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 A smaller version of that ID now appears at the lower right corner in promo tags; the accompanying V/O includes the calls. Also, props to DMA for the screen cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 779 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 So what's with the line before the circle-11 logo? Is it just some weird design thing? Because, to me, it looks like the 11 is inside the 0 of the number 10. And is that "W" the same one as the one in "CW"? Other than that, this is pretty exciting... I wonder when it'll finally show up in news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess 1110 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 It's a fantastic blend of old and new. This is exactly the path I would personally take in reviving the logo, and I'm glad they did just that. It just looks... right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin2kx 229 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I don't think it's a tease from the "chiller" revival at all...more than likely it's official. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPIX (at the bottom of "logos") "The "CW 11" logo is expected to be dropped soon in favor of new branding that features a modernized version of WPIX's former "Circle 11" logo." Can we safely say that this might nail the cw in the coffin? perhaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still prefer "Channel 11 News" but P-I-X does ring a bell. Kudos to PIX for finally joining the other eight Trib stations in bringing a localized non-CW logo. C'mon KPLR & KRCW and join the non-CW branding bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnuts6 89 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 The whole magilla of PIX will be a CHRISTMAS/HANUKKAH present for its viewers (For those who didnt get the hint..the change hits in december ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterlingNorth 33 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 If it's the latter' date=' we can pretty much prepare for the burial of the CW.[/quote'] Not quite yet... The CW actually went and improved its ratings.... But I'm liking the new WPIX logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin2kx 229 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 you know, about cw, this is only october...wait til may or june, it'll be a whole different story, trust me. (does american idol ring a bell?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNews 54 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 It is going to spelled out when the reporter finishes his/her story. "P-I-X News at Ten" or "W-P-I-X News at Ten" or pronounced as "PIX News at Ten" ? And will there be new graphics? The ones they have right now is okay, but they could be better, especially the weather graphics for the 5 day forecast. It looks too generic. And doesn't the "W" in WPIX look like he CW's "W"?

Jess 1110 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 If history holds, it will be pronounced as W-P-I-X. The only time I've heard them say the word "Pix" is during those TVPix interstitials in the 80s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 222 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Here's two more stills of the logo used in a promo on just now, It looks nice but I don't see why the line is needed between WPIX and the Circle 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civic110 10 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Ch. 11 drops CW tag and goes back to WPIX http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2008/10/28/2008-10-28_ch_11_drops_cw_tag_and_goes_back_to_wpix.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGSJenkins 432 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 The new logo has three elements of past logos. The circle, the 11 from the WB days, and the W from the CW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 767 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I always thought that a cool name for their chopper would be AirPIX-11 or SkyPIX-11... something with a spin on the PIX call letters and their original meaning of standing for Pictures as in the Daily News - New York's Picture Newspaper - once owned by Tribune. If they want to recognize the station's history, this would be a smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Question... what are the voiceovers IDing the station as? "WPIX", "WPIX-11", or "Channel 11"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad 276 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nice, its like a dream come true! Finally that disgusting CW logo is gone and we see history repeat itself with this historic station. They finally cracked that shell they were in. I would still prefer if they used P-I-X 11 News, but PIX News is fine though and it is still way better than CW11, lol. Kudos to them for finally going back to their roots and becoming original again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertnyc 1 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Question... what are the voiceovers IDing the station as? "WPIX", "WPIX-11", or "Channel 11"? The voiceovers in all the promos I've seen announce CW11, then the logo transitions to WPIX 11 and the voice whispers "WPIX" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
