I'm surprised they didn't use much orange/yellows. I love the music, YWT needs some upbeat music like that.

It's certainly the best out of their new graphics, but still, it's nothing special IMO.

It may be too soon to say, but I see a return to an emphasis on the "square" formed by the logo, similar to elements in the 05-08 graphics.

The WV intro does kinda remind me of the intros used during that time and it also has a similar look as the WN intro ued in 2001-2003 as a couple of you have said.

The new graphics are nice but it seems TWC has lost any continuity with their graphics. With the HD launch all of their shows had unique packages but still felt connected. Now it seems things are a mess of old and new graphics. The lack of decent themed music is disappointing as well.

I agree Martin. I'm sure they'll roll out with new graphics for all shows soon.  :dunno:

My feelings exactly. It's a visual mess, more often than not unfortunately. What I don't get is why they're not rolling everything that is new out at the same time to create an immediately recognizable unified look.

The last part of your post in bold is what is bothering me the most about this. I don't believe it's been like that since they went HD, most of the shows may have gradually debuted in the HD studio at the time, but as far as the graphics and the music show themes they pretty much connected and weren't mixed matched with previous show packages like it is now. Also I might sound like a broken record, but I wish they would change YWT's graphics/music theme, I hated it when it debuted in March 2010 and I still do now.

Something tells me that TWC doesn't care about its graphics anymore like it used to. Why? I really can't answer that since I think graphics are very important to the viewer. But, like what was said above, the mixing of old and new graphics and rolling things out at different times seems to support this idea. So Jake, I would unfortunately have to disagree with your statement that TWC is going to roll out a unifed graphics package soon. :(
