Did I see a soft launch of a long-awaited "News 8" logo from WOOD-TV?

Post by MWmetalhead » Fri Nov 26, 2021 4:30 pm

Yesterday evening, during the NFL telecast, I saw a promo coming out of commercial break touting "Susan Shaw and Brian Sterling weeknights at 6 & 11" on "NEWS 8."

Normally, this would be a complete non-event and a stupid topic to even mention here, except I saw what appeared to be a brand spankin' new "NEWS 8" logo on the screen.

Perhaps as we enter 2022, the generic "wood tv 8" logo that has been used for a number of months on newscast opens will be phased out in favor of the new logo I briefly saw last night?

I liked the design a LOT, by the way.

For fellow news geeks out there, keep an eye open for it! 8o

Yes, the current wood tv 8 logo premiered around that time.

The longtime "24 hour news 8" logo was quietly ditched early this year, I believe.

The new "NEWS 8" logo features a new color scheme with the word "NEWS" in italicized caps.

Actually 1999. They changed their logo to celebrate their 50th anniversary.

"24 Hour News 8" was quietly phased out in 2019, I think around their 60th Anniversary.
