Thumbs Down on the New TV Graphics

I haven’t been as happy with a lot of changes at HSN once QVC took over. Clearance prices used to be updated frequently-almost weekly. Now, it could be 6 to 8 weeks before a change. Also, many shoppers have been complaining about dropped brands or brands that are now only on QVC. Fortunately, CS is still as great as it always was in the past.

They’ve got to get rid of the vertical text they run along the side of the graphics. I feel like these new graphics weren’t run by any focus groups for usability or readability. Also agree that the new graphics are cheesy looking, but at least that part is readable.

I tried to watch the new jewelry vendor. But with the new cheap-looking graphics, I felt like I was watching another channel. ( A cheap one – not good.) I didn’t last long, I turned it off.

I don’t mind change, if it’s for the better. But not in this case!

I definitely agree with all of you! The first thing I thought after checking to see if something was wrong with my TV’s settings was it looked cheap like an infomercial and yes Evine. I will say it is readable but color and graphics can really change how people buy. If you think it looks cheap you might not buy because it correlates back to the product. I want HSN to be successful and am worried the changes might turn people away if they’re clicking through.

Has the sound been off to any of you? That could be my TV but other channels do not sound as muffled as HSN hosts have been lately.

Also, production of the Nicky Butler 20th Anniversary show this afternoon, at times seemed un-professional. At the beginning, they didn’t even show Nicky. Then at the end of his show, the last of this visit, he was speaking, & they didn’t even show him. That rubbed me the wrong way.

I like the commercials & music. But I hate the graphics.

Adding…there certainly has been a revamp. Anyone see the Joy ad for her cleaning stuf? Big production and very slick.

Also back to the graphics… the colors keep changing. Blue and now a raspberry tone. What’s that about?

Initially I wasn’t sure, however now kind of like it.

It does seem rather “flat” and I did think of Evine too but now find it easier to read with cleaner fonts.

I am usually all over “if it isn’t broke don’t try to fix it” but think this is ok.

The new graphics are very amateurish and dated looking. They are just awful.

OMG..too funny ,goes to show how we are all so different!
Love the fashion edit music, and welcome the new graphics for a change!

They’re ugly & un-appealing. That’s not wise when you’re trying to sell.

I agree. Don’t like it.

OMG! 100% agree with you all! Glad I’m not alone! When the new graphics and music debuted the other day, I was like…What??!!! Totally, old fashioned, out dated, cheap and what ever else adjectives fits the bill. It’s very difficult to watch!!

I agree. I think they should go back to the old graphics. I feel like I’m watching Evine now.
