The graphic backgrounds created for WDSU-TV, the NBC affiliate in New Orleans, incorporate a bold, traditional look with corporate branding elements and a homage to the recovering city.
The images incorporated gentle arched rings found in the station's animated graphics along with prominent "6" elements.
3D, glass-edged fleur de leis help localize the graphics and give viewers a sense of familiarity during the station's broadcasts.
Taking inspiration from FSN South's active, high-tech animated graphics, the background graphics created for the cable network are full of motion and layers.
The color selection in the graphics is designed to complement the warm woods and blue laminates. In addition, several plexiglass panels with frosted vinyl add depth and dimension to the set.
