And the weather one:
We will see! Iâm referring to more than on screen graphics though.
For goodness sake how much airbrushing went into that closing shot.
Melbourneâs version of the 24/7 News Promo (largely based on Seven News Sydneyâs last year):
And 30 second Jane Bunn Promo (severely lacks the authority that David Brownâs promo had):
I do not understand an 8 day forecast.
Like, 7 days makes sense. Itâs a week. But 8? Did they just add a day to get an edge over Nineâs forecast?
Iâm pretty sure that itâs a Melbourne-only thing because we (thankfully) donât get an 8 Day Forecast on Seven News Sydney!
Partly. I think the main reason is that while David Brown was with Seven News Melbourne he created the 7-day outlook and so that Jane was âhistoricâ to the Melbourne audience, they went one better with an 8-day forecast.
I actually wonder how accurate the weather is for the 8th day.
I donât think anyone takes any notice of it to be honest,
Probably as accurate as it is for the third day. Hardly.
You know which era of Sevenâs graphics I liked (or to be frank, loved)? This one. It just oozed out the Seven News brand in it (I bet you if this was coupled with the current news set from 2016 it wouldâve looked fantastic and will probably last 5-10 years IMO). Nineâs graphics werenât half as polished as this back in the day.
What came next was bland, bland, blandâŚ
I remember reading something about the MediaSpyers despising the 2010-11 package at the time of release and most agreeing that it was a downgrade from the 2004-2010 graphics package.
But yes, Iâm sure everyone would agree that the next relaunch was absolutely atrocious. IMO, just as bad as the infamous National Nine News 2006 relaunch, if not worse.
I liked the 2004-2010 package very much (especially when Sydney launched their streetside studio after Athens). But I never really got the hate for the 2010 graphics. To me, it looks like an upgrade from the previous one, boosted the Seven News brand to a new level and in my word, probably one of the most polished graphics package Seven has ever produced.
Guess I was the only one who liked it âŚ
Around the start of the current decade, Iâd probably say that both Seven News and Nine News were using pretty bad graphics! Mind you, similar can be said about most if not all of the graphics that were used on TV during that 2010-12 timeframe: Just before everything was properly optimised for widescreen viewing in preparation for analogue switching off and the (re)introduction of HD main channel simulcasts a few years later!
Re, the 2011 clip: Itâs probably worth noting that all three of Seven News Sydneyâs main presenters from that time have since moved on from the bulletin!
100% agree. Theyâre my favourite as well.
Couldnât agree more. Hands down the best, and most unique Australian FTA news package of the time. Couldâve easily lasted a few more years and still looked good.
The design would make sense for a regional affiliate, but not a metropolitan network (Impact font is what ruined it!). I canât believe we had to put up with that monstrosity for two years. Southern Cross News Tasmania ironically still uses this 6 year old package.
The current graphics are an improvement over the old 2012-2016 graphics. It suits HD too now that 7 has relaunched an HD simulcast nationwide
News graphics cannot look any worse than this. An absolute shocker for National Nine News from January to October 2008
The current graphics for Seven News are less âwow, this looks so modernâ and more âthey probably shouldâve just done this in 2011â IMO.
