Circle 7 logo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Circle 7 logo is one of the most classic and familiar television station logos in the United States. First designed in the 1960s for the ABC Television Network's five owned and operated stations (O&Os), the logo, or a version of it, is currently being used by a number of TV broadcasters around the world.

[edit] History and information

The Circle 7 logo was first designed by G. Dean Smith, and first used in 1962 by ABC for its five owned and operated stations (O&Os): WABC-TV in New York City, KABC-TV in Los Angeles, WBKB-TV (now WLS-TV) in Chicago, KGO-TV in San Francisco and WXYZ-TV in Detroit. When ABC applied for TV licenses in the late 1940s, it was thought that the low-band (channels 2 through 6) TV channels would be discontinued, thus making these five stations broadcasting on VHF channel 7 the lowest on the TV dial. American Broadcasting Companies, Inc., ABC's corporate parent, registered the Circle 7 logo with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 1962.

When WABC adopted the Eyewitness News format in 1968, all anchors and reporters were required to wear a blazer with a Circle 7 patch (later years a lapel pin) when they appeared on the air—a marketing practice that spread to the other ABC O&Os.

The Circle 7 logo was designed to be interchangeable with the circular ABC logo in network and channel imaging, although many current variations of the Circle 7 have incorporated the ABC logo itself (see below). It also was used as the name (Circle 7 Productions) of the production company for local produced programming by ABC owned and operated stations prior to takeover by Capital Cities.

This logo has become iconic in local television, largely due to the presence of the logo in major markets. Today, many other ABC affiliates around the United States which broadcast on channel 7 are allowed to use the Circle 7 logo. Such stations include KATV in Little Rock, Arkansas, WJLA-TV in Washington, D.C. (it used its own stylized version until 2001, when it adopted the original version), WVII-TV in Bangor, Maine, KVII-TV in Amarillo, Texas, KOAT-TV in Albuquerque, New Mexico, KVIA-TV in El Paso, Texas, KSWO-TV in Lawton, Oklahoma, KLTV in Tyler, Texas, WBBJ-TV in Jackson, Tennessee (formerly used on WTVW in Evansville when it was ABC affiliated). KMGH in Denver uses a variation of the circle 7 logo, and places the ABC logo in the same position as the other stations.

Due to its popularity, several variations have arisen for use by non-ABC affiliates.

In addition, the channel 7 brand in Boston, Massachusetts has had three different Circle 7 logos. In the mid-1970s, as WNAC, it had a logo similar to the ABC logos (except it was a white "7" inside a filled circle). That logo was abandoned in 1977 for a Times-Serif-Italic "7". In 1987, as WNEV, the filled-circle came back, and inside was a "7" made up of 7 small white dots. That logo was abandoned shortly after the sale of the now-WHDH to WSVN, after which WHDH took on WSVN's Circle 7. WHDH still uses the WSVN logo to this day.

[edit] Usage by stations not on channel 7

Similarly, some stations that do not broadcast on channel 7 have used a variation of this logo adapted for their channel number:

[edit] Channel 2

Currently the inside of the circle is red and the 2 and circle are colored gray, and optionally, the ABC logo appears left-center next to the circle 2.

[edit] Channel 13

• KTRK in Houston, Texas has used three forms of circle 13 logos since 1971. The first ran from 1971 until 1986 when a modified version was introduced. The original was a "Crooked Circle 13" recalling livestock branding of the Old West. The tail of the "3" extended outside of the circle. The modified version of the logo debuted in 1986 and featured the elongated 3 being confined into the circle. The unique logo was given a background featuring a stylised version of the Texas state flag in July 1992. This version replaced by a more-plain version still featuring the flag background in late 1994 or early 1995. An ABC logo was added to the left side of the numerical component in late 1996 and has remained the same since.

• A version of the latter KTRK logo is used on fellow ABC O&O WTVG in Toledo, Ohio, but with the ABC logo at the lower right corner as opposed to the left side (accordingly the identity of KTRK is ABC13, while WTVG is 13ABC), and there is no flag. However WTVG did start using a circle and 13 in the early 1990s. This was when WTVG was still an NBC affiliate.
