A "quick" graphics package for WJCL and WTGS Savannah, better known by some (some?) as The Coastal Source. Attempts to unify the channel logos, the branding statement, the music, the region.
@raymieX Century Gothic was well established on everything throughout their station, including the 'Coastal Source' logo...and I wanted to update things without drastically changing that. However, it needed some kerning and adjustment and careful tweaking.
I love this design in execution. I have one nagging concern, as a designer myself who considers you his idol: why Century Gothic for many elements!? Your 1997 WSAV package was a little better IMO. But for some reason I have a bias to that era of design.
haha! The graphics are nice. The logos look like they were designed for a laser tag facility. I see what you, if you were indeed the designer, are going for. But the green of the Fox 28 logo and the blue of the WJCL logo are unique. If that is the right word. I have never seen another stations use them. Nor do I think I will. :)
Mm, several years ago you did a package for competitor WSAV and then standardization from Media General just took them over. But this package is totally something for a smaller market, especially the virtual chromasets. How better have things improved on WJCL/WTGS? I've watched the "Making News" series featuring them, so I assume equipment and reporting power has gradually improved. I also think that this package provides another extra boost.
@hkfreak They announced a cooperative venture in late October with the Savannah Morning News, I think that when they get that going, it'll be a whole new ballgame.

You left out the comma. I think you were trying to say "Those logos are pretty, eh!" --which may mean you're Canadian.
How come WJCL dumped the old lower thirds? I thought they had a lot more character to them.
WJCL ABC 22 own by HEARST TELEVISION and WTGS FOX 28 its own by SINCLAIR
