CNN aired a special one-hour interview with Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump last night, and we couldn’t help but notice something about its graphics…

CNN really wanted viewers to know what network they were watching… with 5 mentions on the screen at one time.

Now, the upper right CNN logo was likely as protection, for when other networks reuse this interview. That logo was positioned so it would be hard to crop out. The rest? Well, it was a bit overkill.
