Studio Upgrade/Revamp
« on: June 28, 2011, 02:43:20 AM »
Now that an OCM tweeted about it I can mention that the studios are undergoing some renovations. There will be several new sets and a new desk. I have heard conflicting info that new graphics will be introduced. We shall have to see about that one

Can't wait to see the changes they'll make to the studio! :)

The HD studio already looks so good. I can't imagine what other ideas the have in store right now. By new graphics, I hope you mean for the IS. After four years, they could use some touching up. I'll be interested to see what happens.

They seriously do, not because I still hate the way it looks, but it should have some kind of a graphical relation to the on air graphics.

I'd be willing to bet that nothing is going to happen to the icons or the background on the IS. It's a studio revamp. I'd be surprised if anything gets changed graphics wise.

Yes, Martin said it's possible. But TWC has said a lot of things.

I really don't understand why the studio needs upgrades. It looks okay as is.

But yes, it would be good for the IS to get a few updates. It hasn't been touched (other than given the new icons) since September 2008 (I believe.)

Right, September 2008 was when the final version of the blue LDL (once again, minus the icons) came out :yes:

I need to clarify something here: Is TWC upgrading the old studio, the HD studio, or both? :wacko:

This is great news! I agree, the HD studio looks good enough, but not complaining! Can't wait to see, anyone know how long it will be?  :dance:

Both? I think. There is a curtain behind the expert desk with work going on.


And in the hd studio

What does that have to do with the studio though?

Well since we are due for some graphics changes maybe we will get a good relaunch or something. That's what id like to see at least. Maybe these new graphics will be good and memorable like the 2001-2003 version. 2011 version of the 2001 relaunch is what I mean in other words.
