New Graphics and Icons

[toxictwister00]

horrible afternoon lowerthirds...i don't see why they like to make it complicated, just stick to one and modify the colors, seesh.

I don't care for them much either, why black and white? I saw FO and YWT's lowerthirds this morning and I think they look really good.

I agree. They look very poor to me

will directv's LF get the icons updated too?

At least the supers are still better than the ball 'o cheese sun and the gross amount of wasted space on the HD feed...almost makes me sad to get TWC HD

Probably at some point

I understand why you all hate the sun icon, but stop hating on the precipitation icons! I always had trouble discerning what  would happen on days when the temperature was near freezing. Now I can easily tell...this is rain, this is snow, and so on. Sure, the 2006-2010 icons were more realistic, but they were very hard to see in SD. Not all of us had HD, super-clear precipitation icons.

I am beginning to like the precip icons more since they are similar to the old-school icons from TWC's golden years...but the clouds are still too attention-grabbing, the suns are still glowing balls of cheese and I miss the old fog one already

I just saw them use the XL icons on air

For real? That would be awesome if these icons were a joke and they brought the XL ones back. The raindrops on these new ones look total catoon-ish, while the XL ones were designed just perfectly. However, I really like the new LDL. For some reason, it reminds me of the XL LDL, even though they don't look anything alike.

Sounds to me like you've got the two sets mixed up

He doesn't. 

I totally agree with Jonny.

Yeah, I have a feeling they should get their icons updated, too. Hopefully soon.

Anyone mind telling me what the difference is between the showers icon and the rain icon? Likewise the intensity differences between many of them?

[weatherfan1123]

I think they change the LDL because of something to do with their HD Studio?

Im new here so the newbie I am I guess this is worth my first post... 

Im loving the new Local L-Bar (guessing thats what you guys call it, lol)


The sun icons are too bright it might as well be an orange blob on the forecast...



The L3 Graphics (not the Local L-bar) looks nice but looks really squished... It seems that the actual video broadcast is shrinking. Now half the screen is graphics used and the other half is video. Hmmm Im wondering what happend to the good ol'days where there was just one Local L-Bar and the broadcast. I can't complain too much because the new L-Bar is awesome (looking). I guess with graphics getting more and more "Awesome" I wonder when TWC is just gonna go virtual? lol

Welcome to TWC Today!!
 
And nope, it's the LDL (Lower Display Line), not L-Bar.
