Thanks to alert reader who emailed me. The graphics have debuted at noon today, I have the DVR on to catch them at 5pm so expect screen caps and video today.
Update:The graphics are nothing flashy, slightly newer font with pale almost grey-ish blue. The maps have better colored graphics, and the wall is touch-sensitive or at least it looks that way. Tom Johnston can draw on it and make H and L pressures appear, 3 day outlook has the temeratures showing initially with Tom touching each day and a graphic of the weather apearing. Will be posting screencaps and video asap the recording is over.
Update: There’s a new 7 day forecast added too “7 on 7”, how clever 🙂
7News 5pm forecast – Video – 11MB XviD codec needed
The new gfx are blue, and this probably means 7 is going back to bloooo … Although i didn’t tottaly hate the all red/chrome scheme, I tend to favor blue a lot more. Hopefully the future graphic changes won’t dissapoint
Update 1/15:The new system that 7 uses is called “Weather Central”, now I know why it looks so familiar I’ve seen a sample of it a while back but couldn’t remember what the name of it was. Thanks to anon emailer who emailed me 🙂
Sweet, can’t wait to see the screen caps and vids
very boring, actually sucks. Surprising bc thier sister station ‘HDH has excellent weather graphics. I dont know why the sunbeam corp nazi execs keep both stations equal, like what they do to one, they do to the other. hell they only own two stations. Also in beantown, the weather acnhors can draw practically anything like want on the map, i didnt see it on the video so who knows if they have it or not. anyways, its boring. im sure it will be changed inthe future. its MIAMI, they dont need boring shit
I don’t think it’s too bad. There IS a lot of blue, but we’ll get used to it…
Thanks for the screencaps too 🙂
nothin wrong with lots of blue 😀
I do not like these graphics, the red is much better. I was looking for something more “futuristic” than this. I like the background, however i find the font disappointing.
I agree with our webmaster the blue is cool…….but the font on 7 is difficult to read at times. Also those “see through” graphics with the sea blue behind them as if you are looking through a window are almost impossible to read……..i hope someone from WSVN is a regular reader of this site 🙂
I never liked the red, I like blue much better 🙂
oops, it’s Don not Done in the previous post 😀
the blue graphics are a preview to the BLUE redesign to the plex and main graphics — expected to come in the next couple of months……
Insider: is Vilma involved in the new graphics? Latest promost were quite powerpoint-ish. No offense to any 7News editors that might be reading this 🙂
