Does the IntelliStar 2 have the orange logo too? I assume it does. As for the SD IntelliStar, I'm still kind of surprised that they would continue to add new updates for the regular SD IntelliStar since it's already 8 years old and standard definition television is already declining. I'm sure that the XL and the 4000 are still the same as always (like the "Green is Universal" campaign).

I think TWC should do so. I had no idea about such event until I found out about the orange logo. I'm sure it will raise awareness a little more if TWC did so, as well as other networks.

You've never seen the twice-a-year green logo for Green is Universal week?

i think if we get a hurricane or major weather event to warnant "Red Mode" (formerly Storm Alert mode), they should have the Logo go red as well.

There are still cable systems like FiOS that have no IS2 local forecast on TWC HD. They need to keep updating the SD IntelliStar as it's the only place on some systems to get the local forecast.

Xfinity is basically in the same boat as FiOS regarding the IS2, since i haven't heard anything from either Xfinity or TWC regarding the situation the IS2s have been either been set to launched in 2014 or TBA all together.

The TWC logo is blue again. I guess the orange logo must have been for today only  :dunno:

I have. I was just saying they should do more logo color changes for more causes. However it might be a pain constantly sending updates to the Intellistar's.

That's not a bad idea. I think TWC should do that for Winter Storm's this winter and Hurricane's next year. By the way did anyone hear if TWC is naming winter storms this winter?  :dunno:

According to Kelly Cass, they may preempt programing tomorrow to cover NE storms. Let's see what happens!

Another re-launch?! :rolleyes:

And wow, look at those icons.  Interesting how weather icons now-a-days seem to be getting simpler and simpler.  I guess that's what the public likes.

I'm still seeing the old design and icons on my end.  :huh:  Maybe the new designs were being tested out?  :dunno:

Maybe so. The main page needs some serious work, it was very glitchy last night. Also it looks very cluttered the way the headlines are outlined. It was better the way the lay out was before.
