Title: Any Plans For New Icons Soon?
Post by: micvachon on December 15, 2012, 05:49:50 PM: I know TWC is going thru some changes lately and was just wondering if new weather icons were in the discussion at all? And if not, do you think they are coming soon or do you think they will be content with what they have now for quite a while?

Now they use different ones for their on-air graphics, the SD IntelliSTAR, the HD STAR, WeatherSTAR XL (the pre-2006 set), WeatherSTAR 4000, and not to mention weather.com and the many phone/computer apps they have out there.

So I would say an icon change in the future isn't likely... I doubt TWC will ever have a unified icon set again.

I've heard there have been some delays so I doubt the schedule is still for a spring release.
