Weeters 1749 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Sarasota's WWSB debut new graphics last evening. The new graphics are from Giant Octopus and first debut on KRQE in Albuquerque, New Mexico last year. [yt]hFVlLpvJMtQ[/yt] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhratbrat 423 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I really really like these graphics that they have debuted. Makes WWSB look like a true competitor in the Bay Area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestbiteme 13 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I haven't seen the KRQE version, but these show an un-GO-like lack of attention to detail. That chroma ring lens flare at 2 seconds looks clunky, and I'm going to hope that the station provided their own footage, because the shot by the bridge shows that the lens is pretty dirty. There are some other things I don't like, but what is going on with GO lately? Are the small markets getting a better rate by losing out on quality? Reminds me of the WTOV package, where it looks like the station was left to do its own titling. Bleeech. The idea is good, the concept is OK (despite the dueling slogans) but the final product is subpar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abric 157 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Here is KRQE's open. The better rendition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evening Magazine 18 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It looks like they covered the old ABC 7 logo with the new one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain 17 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I agree, what were they thinking with that dirty lens?? WWSB never fails to disappoint. Doesn't WFTS cover Sarasota already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evening Magazine 18 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Not only does WFTS not cover the Sarasota area on a regular basis, WWSB has been an ABC affiliate a lot longer than WFTS has. Also, WWSB is the only local TV news source for many Sarasota area residents as SNN is only on Comcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalnewsguy 11 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Love how the ABC logo appears to just be pasted on over a sphere. Not even cropped to fit either. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evening Magazine 18 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Love how the ABC logo appears to just be pasted on over a sphere. Not even cropped to fit either. Yikes. It does indeed. Their old ABC logo on the old graphics was crooked. They just can't get it right... Giant Octopus isn't what they used to be. I favor Hothaus these days.

Guest qunewsguy Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 It looks like WWSB bought the barebones version of the graphics package. Custom logo animation, animating background, plus the Photoshop design files, leaving the affiliate to do all the design work. There's no way Giant Octopus did an open like that, even though I agree they're not the firm they were a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhratbrat 423 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 WWSB is still a good ABC affiliate and I like the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
