WNAC 1977-82 logo

Does anyone know the font used in the last of the WNAC logos? (the one on the Old Sturbridge ad). if so, I may be able to make a re-creation for the logo gallery. - EmiOfBrie 22:40, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

"7 NBC"?

Granted, I haven't lived in Massachusetts since 1998, but at the time I left, WHDH was branding itself "7 NBC". Has that changed? As for the "circle 7 with peacock" logo, scroll to the bottom of WHDH's website to the copyright notice....there's the aforementioned logo  :) - EmiOfBrie 23:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Well I think that should be up for debate, that could be just a generalized logo that doesn't make it on air. --CFIF (talk to me) 23:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

It has been on the air, at least it was back in 1998...I just don't know if it's still being used today. Can someone from Massachusetts clear this up? - EmiOfBrie 23:36, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I live in Massachusetts and it is still called "7 NBC" with non-news programming. The station also uses the Circle 7 logo with a peacock as well with non-news promotions and programming. 72.155.135.227 22 June 2006 (UTC)

You are such a liar, your IP comes up to Atlanta, Georgia. --CFIF (talk to me) 14:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

That doesn't necessarily mean anything...he could be on vacation Wiki'ing from a cyber-cafe for all we know. But I see your point. We need to be sure. I'm half-tempted to actually call WHDH and get this straightened out once and for all. - EmiOfBrie 15:40, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I decided to called the station myself (617-725-0777) this morning and talked to a secretary and a news producer. They both did say they call themselves both "7 NBC" & "7 News". Leonard23 10:08, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
UPDATE - my best friend from Massachusetts will watch WHDH in prime time tonight and find out...we should get our answer soon. - EmiOfBrie 15:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I found some more logos with the Circle 7 with the NBC peacock but this time with the actual station ID. File:7NBC.gif File:Whdh boston ch7.jpg File:7NBC.jpg Leonard23 9:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Here's a press release dated 2002 from Suffolk University that discusses a partnership with the station called it both "7 NBC" (station) and its news product "7 News". I also did an internet search of all things WHDH on Ask.com and nearly every single thing called the station "7NBC" before it called it "7 News". 9:51, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm starting to get worried, as this debate over the logo has spread to another article (at least, the one between CFIF (talk · contribs) and Leonard23 (talk · contribs)). It's turning into a sort of a revert war. I'm mostly neutral, but the 7NBC brand and related logo does appear to be in use (although 7NBC has not been used as often as it once was). I just don't want this to get out of hand, or request admin intervention. --WCQuidditch 17:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Well he's gone the way of CoolKatt and is now calling my edits vandalism. The WSVN logo this guy insists on using blows. It really does. --CFIF (talk to me) 17:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Compare: File:WHDH-WSVN.png to File:WSVN.png. The second one is of poor quality, and the first one is better quality. --CFIF (talk to me) 17:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Since this isn't the first time this has occured with you and another user that tells you and other people something. If the logo blows are not, its the station's official logo. Since you live in Florida, why don't you call WSVN and tell them to drop the File:WSVN.png logo with their calls then. I'm not about to go through a revert war over a stupid logo. I'll just have an administrator lock the page from being edited and be done with it. It is very childish of you to go back and forth with me over something so simple.
