Some random stupid stuff I made… ![HLN in CNN 2023](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/0/f/4/0f4a0635e8f79f8c03a99bab229a44726d46e8ea.jpeg) Seeing the [on-screen update](https://forums.tvnewstalk.net/topic/16640-cnn-the-continuing-soap-opera/?do=findComment&comment=287887) to CNN’s increasingly-redundant sister channel HLN made me think: What if they still have their own newscasts? This is a lazy one: I basically recreated the new CNN lower thirds, but used the new logo’s blue gradient in place of the white background for difference. Video footage taken from Morning Express’ last broadcast. * * * ![CBS News Now V2](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/d/a/5/da5aab3bf09724ea84568fc1f5f8ddb3b1f15a5f.jpeg) As CBS is pulling out their stations from CW and has [quite different approaches](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/us-television/563/2032) in rebranding them, I think the _News Now_ brand they’ve been trying out would probably tie in the existing and incoming indie stations better. So that’s what I did here: The blue and the font weights are inspired by the new brands, while the boxes are adopted from the O&Os. For stations that emphasized channel numbers more (e.g. Philly 57 over WPSG), I chose to use them over call letters. ![CBS News Now Blue](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/4/1/e/41ef1487cb74a36e8108b5597e008c1d01d7a67e.png) The lighter-weighted one is based on an earlier version I made (and aligns closer to the main O&O brands), adopted to the new colour scheme and the change of callsigns on some stations. Compared to the spacing mess above, I like this one better ^^ * * * ![BBC News Verify](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/9/d/f/9dfb1ecabeb846e5310c8d543c3284a88e1acb8e.jpeg) And a more tongue-in-cheek one for BBC News/Verify: Adopting the dotted globe in the latter’s [launch release](https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/bbc-news-transparency-bbc-verify) for the main brand, on the basis of _anything_ fresher and newer would probably look better than the incumbent ones… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/random-mocks/334)._
