CBS Evening News with Dan Rather (1)

Later in 1991, a bold new look was introduced to the CBS Evening News, one that relies heavily on bold reds and yellows. GRFX Novocom designed the graphics and used this look as the basis of several graphics packages used worldwide (including Sky News). Patterson, Walz, and Fox gave the theme an update to make it sound more bombastic – the theme was used, unchanged, for 15 years. To date, I believe this may be the only place I’ve seen the CBS eye using two different colors. Right clip: Close, with melancholy music as this is the anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
