Yes. This works. I will play around with it when I get home. Make sure the future 16:9 shot is in the highest quality possible and not in JPG format

They look great!  I definitely like the PM Edition and Sunrise Weather logo (as in they are my favorite).  Just curious, have you thought of changing the YWT logo's color to maybe a darkish red/orange?  Or are you going to keep it yellow?

I'm waiting on a high quality HD shot of the YWT intro image (LDL-less) to come about so I can match the colors out perfectly. For now, however, it will remain its trademark yellow.

It seems as only during the local forecast as that's the only spot the old blue bar LDL is used.

Sometimes at the end of a segment before the commercial, the logo is shown... the LDA isn't on then

The theme was disabled during the merge as it's corrupt and not compatible with RC3... trust me... If you would have switched to it, you would have been locked out of your account in a sense, and wouldn't be able to switch back without an administrator's help. Still waiting for an update at which point Martin would reenable... your best temporary relief is to tack on a ;wap2 on your urls for the lite version.

The show style logos you all know and love have returned... They're NOT the finalized versions... Why? Well I'm giving the community an opportunity to improve on them. I know I had a few people PM me or IM me saying that such and such logo should be tweaked in this way and such and such logo should be tweaked that way. Well, now the community has an opportunity to act on their opinions. I am, by far, not the greatest graphic designer in the world by any means. I would love to see what the community comes up with. Below are the show logos in their current form:

Day Planner:


First Outlook:


Weather Center with Cantore & Steele:


PM Edition:


Sunrise Weather:


Weather Center/Default Logo:


Weekend Now:


WUWA:


Weekend View:


Your Weather Today with Abrams & Bettes:


Requirements if you so choose to modify logos to your liking: I ask that you keep the image widths below 900 pixels and heights below 200 pixels if possible. If you attach a modified logo, I ask you attach your PSD as well in the event your logo is chosen in a poll to come later, conditions pending. All PSDs for these show logos can be found at https://twctodayforums.com/logos/twcttwcc.

Again, this is a chance for the entire community to have an opportunity to pitch in on the logo design for the forums. I, along with the rest of the crew, look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. Happy photoshopping!

I'm 95% sure you will NOT see her on camera before she gives birth in May.

She was doing the weekly planner on weekend now yesterday.

Anyone have a clip of thisssssss?

I would assume it qualifies under the Fair Use Doctrine.

should I upload this HQ shot of the WV intro to replace the current low-res one on Wikipedia?

No. There are reasons for me saying no that involve copyright.

The reduced size falls under fair use. Ridiculously huge sizes fall under copyright infringement as they are large enough to "do damage to the company" lol... HOWEVER, if you are able to get a 16:9 shot WITHOUT the l3rd/LDL (TWC logo is allowed though) of the new YWT image, you can upload that as it needs an update.

It's possible the errors are caused by the tornado and lightning bolt icons not existing anymore.

I've hidden the textual "Administrator," "Content Editor," "Ultimate Member," etc part now that we have graphical representation of statuses now

IMO, all of the member badges, including regular members, should use the same, two-lined graphic so everything matches. But other than that, I like it.

It's a thought that I want to play with and work with Jonny on. It'll be played with after the forums reopen later this week.

So I guess we're trying to make the stars on the member badges too microscopic to see? There was nothing wrong with the way things were

They're not microscopic at all... they're the same size as the cyan/yellow ones for regular members.  Besides, it is a nice change for the merge that is coming!
