Here is an updated version of my Weatherscan artwork, only this time it is in "Severe Weather Mode" for the strong storms that occurred outside the Little Rock, AR area about an hour ago. Cool, huh?

While this may never happen in a million years, here is my concept of what the squeezeback might look like for WeatherSTAR 4000 viewers, complete with the radar, current conditions, and a space for ad crawls, similar to the IntelliSTAR squeezeback. What do you guys think?

Awesome!  :cool3: Unfortunately like you said, such a concept will never exist in a million years! :lol: I would imagine it would look just like that though. It would be neat to see in existence.  :yes:

For the first time ever, my IntelliSTAR now uses ad crawls  :blink:



Okay, I lied  :P  STAR #23550 doesn't really have ad crawls. I actually Photoshopped the ad crawl from a photo of another STAR that has them. Looks real though, doesn't it?

This is my concept of the L-bar for XL viewers, complete with the radar, CC, and a space for ad crawls, similar to the IS L-bar. TWC will probably never make this a reality, as they probably don't give a hoot about the cable headends that still use XLs, or the other legacy STAR units for that matter  :P

Here is my TWC station ID screen concept with an updated background for the summer. Looks neat, doesn't it?

Thanks Tavores!  :happy:  That neon-sign design in my signature was made in Adobe Photoshop CS5, along with most of the artwork that I posted in this topic.

I got bored, so I decided to get a little creative and made still concepts of an imaginary Local on the 8s intro, using a couple of pictures that I took of the Pacific Ocean a few days ago.







For the LOT8s logo, I couldn't find a decent size of it anywhere on the web, so instead, I attempted to re-create the logo myself. The font I used was Interstate Regular, and by a lucky guess, it was the correct font used for the real logo!  :thrilled:


There you have it.

My still concept of Astoria's Weatherscan unit during a rebooting process, re-created based on a snapshot of the real thing. All of the info seen here is totally fake, as the Charter headend in Astoria does not actually carry Weatherscan.  :(

Here's something for Patrick, aka phw115wvwx:



It's just a fake Weatherscan for Blacksburg, VA via their local Comcast/Xfinity headend. The radar is from weather.com and the image of Blacksburg is from Wikipedia. Plus the Xfinity logo is white here versus the potentially-eye-hurting red logo on real Weatherscans. :P

Anyways, hope you enjoy the artwork, Patrick, and I hope others will, too.  :biggrin:

Thanks, Jim!  It looks nice. :thumbsup:  While I don't have a Weatherscan, I do have two local channels that compete to give me the same look 24/7:  WeatherNation from the ABC affiliate in Lynchburg, VA and a supplemental weather channel that resembles the old NBC Weather Plus from the NBC affiliate in Roanoke, VA.

What is WeatherNation like in your area? Does it feature any local content in addition to the network itself?
