I think the Frutiger font looks OK, but the new L3rds are ugly. :thumbdown: :sick: I noticed that WC had a new background, and the TOR:CON segment had slightly updated segments.

Weather Center Live...are you kidding me? :blink:

Also, have the intros changed for all shows or just WCL?

I don't get the name change either....yes, we get you're live on-air. We also know it's a novelty these days with all the long-form they put on, but "LIVE" is a bit over the top.

I would love to know how long it took programming to just to add the "Live" title to Weather Center :rolleyes:

If the opening is anything like the static images I've seen on the monitors during WC tonight, they put too much emphasis on "LIVE" and not enough on "Weather Center."

I just saw the opening. How fugly!! I don't understand why TWC is still producing their graphics in-house, and why NBC Artworks isn't doing their graphics from Rockefeller Plaza like the rest of the NBC's properties.

The new L3rds don't match with the LDL at all. That's what I really liked about the ones that debuted last year.

Didn't NBC design Weather Center's 2009 lower thirds? Don't know why that haven't done anything for TWC since.

The majority of TWC's day to day graphics are done in house, including the L3s from last year.

The designers might have a  purpose for them being like this that we don't know. Every designer has a mind of their own and their own opinions, and this might be one of their best or worse works. The WCL graphic isn't that bad really, we're just not use to it.  :dunno:

I agree with Tyler, the opener is just plain ugly. Sorry, but it really just doesn't fit. And he's right, there is way too much emphasis on "LIVE", and not enough on the actual show name. I have noticed that the new lower 3rds look slightly better for the morning shows (orange vs. grey or blue), but they still look undersized.

New Lower Thirds Debut Today on Day Planner. If you want my opinion on them, I believe they're ugly. As for the show intro, still the same as the 2008 launch

I say the new L3s look just fine to me, yet they could have kept the ones that came with the new graphics to start with.

Now they need to do something with the LF.

I don't mind the new CG's, they are plain and simple.  At least their not extremely large like a few years ago.

And Weather Center LIVE is a dumb name.  Way too much emphasis on live, and not to mention it is downright ugly.

Today on WUWA, they're using an orange version of the new titlebars that premiered a few weeks ago. Are these new?
