New Graphics and Icons

[tuez13]

To me, it's weird that the fog w/ drizzle is animated with falling water droplets and a moving fog cloud...but the fog icon is static.  I also dislike the t-storm icon a LOT because you can't see the lightning on it at all.  I remember that the old icons for thunderstorm and strong thunderstorm were different, allowing for someone to look at it and say 'oh, maybe I should pay attention to the weather more today" instead of "oh, there's another cloud that looks like everything else on the screen" or something!  haha  Just a thought.

I wonder what the Dust, Haze, and Smoke icons would look like on this new set...

Dust didn't exist in the 2006-2010 set, so I highly doubt it will be on this set.

Martin or Aaron- Did you happen to get that video of Stephanie showing the XL icons?

Actually it did, it also doubled as a "Smoke Icon".

[Travis(:]

sheesh i wish they could just use at least 2 LDLs instad of how many they use this is way to much.

[WeatherWitness]

Do icons animate on all LDLs, large and small, SD and HD? That is REALLY a nice touch.

No animation on HD. All SD icons animate on all LDLs

On the SD National LDL, the icons do NOT animate. Is this true for everyone else, too?

Icon 22 (the one Michael posted) is Smoke. Icon 21 (the one Martin posted) is Haze.

With the introduction of the big LDL, the l3rds become l2/5ths:


huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge

[tuez13]

TWC shouldn't call them lower thirds anymore...just..."the graphic that takes up half of the screen which you don't see most of anyway because the LDL is normally wasting all of that space anyway."  Any takers?

[Zach]

Becoming captain obvious for a sec, but I' definitely not a fan of these new L3rds.

Derek, I can't seem to find it. Are you sure the XL icons made an appearance during the 9:00 hour that morning?

Yep. Just remember it's around 9 - 9:20 ET. Not sure what time zone you're in...

It's actually 40%, or 2/5ths... When they big LDL is on, they're called lower two-fifths >_> .... With the little LDL, they're still l3rds

lol, well now that we're bringing these crazy fractions into it      hahahaha

I would love the lower thirds more if they didn't have to be that huge because of the oversized LDL and the HD info that wastes space and shoves useless info down your throat.

I know I have a clip of Stephanie using the XL suns last September.
 
Also, the graphics are still technically lower third tags, regardless of the size.
