WISN 12 and their horrible annoying logo

[Mark Strube]

Ah a new TV season, and WISN 12 insists on reminding us every chance they get what channel we're watching... even though you probably had to push 1 2 on your remote to get to their station!!

And now it looks even worse, since ABC changed their HD logo... this is what we're dealing with-


Quit it will ya?! Give us an hourly station bug for 5 seconds and all the news and local station-related commercials you want, but PLEASE stop with the annoying logos!! One logo in a picture ALL THE TIME is plenty!

Get used to it.  Alot of stations around the country are doing this now.

[Mark Strube]

Get used to it.

No. I'm a firm believer in the free market. You cater to viewers and advertisers. If enough people complain about it, it just might go away.

So... get used to my complaining.

Thanks!

I have an idea.  Lets create a complaint board.  IMO, there is way too much complaining going on here.

I have an idea... for new logo placement. How about this? Slightly smaller (about 3/4 the original size) and better placed. I think this would make your station look even better, since the current placement looks both gaudy and sloppy (overlapping and too big).



Also... it's a bad sign when the ABC HD logo is on the screen for less time than the local 12 logo. One would think channel 12 is more responsible than ABC for this programming!  :rofl:

And here's an example of what it might look like:



Thoughts?

That is a better position.  That's like the severe weather stuff.  I had a few ideas on what they can do about that.

Thank you!!

Now... get to work on it. :rock:

Since there's no real "technical" contact on the WISN site, I've sent this in a PM to the user 12engr, hopefully he can show this to the right people.

Denny and his "Shirley Schmidt-Ho" doll. LOL!

I was curious how bad that superimposition would look. Denny Crane. Here's what we get (x 2 ABC affiliates - inc a Hearst-Argyle). Much better. Denny Crane.

Agreed, i could not agree more, we should definately call the station, i think i will asap.

[Mark Strube]

Absopo - I'd be very interested in knowing how that goes. Keep us updated!

Joseph S - I edited your post so the image isn't so huge, which messes with the formatting of the thread. Not a big deal, just thought you might want to know why I edited your post.

Why not have the 12 in the opposite corner from the ABC logo?
