Who has the weather icons from WSB-TV from any era? If so, tell me  :)

I don't know why any of us would have them...this is a TWC forum after all. :unsure: They probably came with Titan of Viper or whatever software they use.

I meant the old ones from 1998.

I'm not even sure if anyone at TWC Today even has these icons available. It would help if you gave us an example of what you're looking for, and because a majority of the members here do not work in the weather graphics department at a local news station, we wouldn't know where to obtain them.
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

I can see what I can do, but as Zach said, we need an example.  :hmm:

Here's the example for you, the Mostly Sunny and Partly Cloudy icons.

Those are WSI icons. You're unlikely to get those.  :hmm:

WSI is Weather Service International. They are one of the leading weather companies in the United States and world wide. The icon's are owned by them and you're most likely not going to get your hands on them because one those icons are from one of their WX Pro systems from the 2003-2006 time frame I believe. Those systems costed several thousand dollars each, today's cost in excess of $35K I've been told. Being that this is an old system that isn't used, I don't see it likely that anyone can just go and steal them from WSI... That's my input and logic. Anyone else have something to add?

Unless you run your own TV station, I'm pretty sure they're out of your price range.  They won't just sell you icons; they'll sell you an entire package of products that contain those icons.

Read Above. I said those systems were. Titan I'm told costed ~$40K and Max now is like ~$50K and that's most likely just for the contract and service. You'd prob have more fee's for the Workstation systems as well.

Honestly, what is so great about those icons? :dunno:  First of all, the pictures provided are so darn small, it's hard to even see them.  Second of all, I don't see why you all would actually be willing to pay for icons like this, when you can get plenty of others for free. :blink:
