weather.com relaunched today with a new web design/new weather icons.

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.

beta.weather.com brings it up for me.

Yeah, beta.weather.com often times has new designs that they are testing out.  Hopefully they will fix some of the bugs before formally launching it.

Also maybe new graphics launching soon? Sounds like TWC is moving away from showfx and wxp graphics to truvu max.

Well this is a VERY, VERY good sign. I hope the Chyron's change soon. It's really time for TWC to do an overhaul on their logo, etc.... Hope the changes are good!  :lol:

I could see the IntelliStar with graphics similar to that :)

Really crossing my fingers. This is a much cleaner design.

I guess TWC is that low on revenue? This Ad looks weird for a weather website. If it's even weather anymore  :blink:

They have done that before; I remember one for Ice Age.  It's very annoying and cluttered but hey, why not advertise and annoy your viewers when you can earn more money?!

TWC is now airing a new fall local on the 8s intro for :18, :48. Hopefully someone can get a pic of it.

TWC used that same background for the now-discontinued station ID segment last year.  :yes:

Looks like we may be having a NEW weather.com soon. The design is really coming together. Today it presented a tour of the new website. Maybe this also means relaunch soon?  :thinking:

TWC changed the floor color near the video wall to white.

The spam text on the top left is unnecessary and blocks the show graphics.
