“Today” kicked off the annual “Green is Universal” week this morning by having weatherman Al Roker “magically” turn the show’s logo bug green. During Roker’s weather segment, the orange “Today” logo seamlessly transitioned to green — complete with a sound effect. “Every time it changes, an angel gets its wings,” joked Roker. Most NBC properties […]
Take a look at this lower third from Fox News Channel that’s been circulating on Facebook.
We’ve received a first look at the new Sinclair Broadcast Group graphics package, set to debut in a few weeks. The new graphics combine footage of the city with some circular glassy elements. Here’s a few of the nightside open: New music is expected to debut with the new graphics. Stay tuned…
Someone at “Today” apparently missed the lecture about contrast in design school. This morning, during a segment about the best and worst jobs, the show aired the fullscreen graphic above. However, the choice of black text against the blue background made the text very difficult to read — in some cases more difficult than others […]
The Web is abuzz with what some are calling the best TV news graphic ever. WPLG-TV, the Post-Newsweek ABC affiliate in Miami, aired a story about Viagra flavored ice cream (yes, apparently that exists). The station opted to pair the story with the epic OTS graphic — an upside-down ice cream cone perched atop two […]

“CBS This Morning,” despite its highbrow newsiness, isn’t immune to geography gaffes on maps. The network aired the map above during its coverage of an airplane that was diverted after an unruly passenger tried to open a cabin door. That flight was sent to Omaha, Nebraska, a fact that CBS attempted to illustrate in a […]
WRCB-TV, NBC 3 Chattanooga, debuted a new set from Broadcast Design International recently. JDM Construction worked locally with BDI on the project. “This set completely replaces a 1998 set that we have renovated multiple times,” said WRCB-TV President & General Manager Tom Tolar. “The new set contains more technology and can be used for multiple types […]
CNN’s efforts to promote “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” with a large “Get lost” banner resulted in a rather awkward juxtaposition when the graphics aired over the network’s coverage of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, according to an image circulating online.
