mjrbaseball Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 On Fox NFL games this year, the scoreboard bar across the top of the screen uses logos instead of team abbreviations.For those of you who missed it, here is an approximation: 6 10 12:05 2nd 1st & 10 NFL ON FOX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdm1219inpenna Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 It was a nice touch that Fox did, adding the logos to the "Fox Box" (I guess it's the Fox "Line" now!). They seem to tweak it to make minor improvements to it every year. Makes me wonder how we ever survived without it!Regards,Bill McD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoo88b Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Personally, I liked it. But what if someone who didn't know who had what logos tuned in? They wouldn't know who was playing and that could cost them a casual viewer or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I actually like what CBS does With the score and running clock of the game in one corner and a ticker rotating the scores and time left of the other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuss16 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Personally, I liked it. But what if someone who didn't know who had what logos tuned in? They wouldn't know who was playing and that could cost them a casual viewer or two...If the viewers cant tell who the logos belong to they wouldn't even care who the logos belong to. (if that makes any sense) For example, I dont really watch football at all. So I dont recognize a big protion of the logos therefore i dont really care if chicago is beating st.louis even if they displaced the city or team names. I could care less.

JQK Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I love the new FOX graphics. Very nice. CBS is also very nice, and i love the translucent update box in the opposite corner of the screen. That was a great little invention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogoCollector Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I really like the new set up bar. I had time to watch it since the Bears let themselves get ran over by the niners by halftime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 The thing I like best is that the numbers are in a bolder text so that oldsters like me don't have such a hard time reading the score if we're not 2 feet away from the TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 havent seen it yet, but using the logos is a really good idea, particularly in US sport were the logos are fairly recognisable! And if you are like me you only need a reminder of the score in a game like football, as if you are watching the game you have a good idea of what is going on in the game!

zer0dotcom Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I think it makes the game much more graphic, wither than staring at a few letters, it'll help views conect with teh identity of the teams looking at their logos rather than CHI, NYJ, AZI etc...

Joshawaggie Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 And you guys thought this topic was dead... Its a related topic so I decided not to make a new one... But on 'Inside the NFL' on HBO, they use that new -B- logo for the browns... I haven't seen anyone use that yet, ESPN still uses BROWNS in orange over a brown background.josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentyN3 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 This idea is much better than the ill-fated attempt by Monday Night Football a few years back to use nicknames in the scorebox. It was very pitiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Yeah Im remember that, that was when they had Dennis Miller as an analyst as well! Made a pretty classy football tradition into a joke (and like many Mr Miller's jokes a not very funny one at that!) All hail King John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHoJoe Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 As a TV traditionalist- and I will forgive anybody bashing me in what I am about to say- I really find the score boxes/lines very distracting, annoying, and-for that matter- unnecessarily redundant. Are the networks deliberately dumbing down the viewer by constantly displaying the network logo in the corner? If the answer is yes, then hopefully the network should hopefulyy put a stop to this.

JQK Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Mr Dugan, i halfway agree with you. I don't like that "first down line", it is just clutter, and the little transparent Logo Bug in the corner can go too.The scorebox though is one of the great inventions. It really is a good thing. Especially now in the age of the Dish, when people jump from game-to-game, it's a instant update.and Joe...

jkrdevil Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I like the score box, if your just tuning in you know what the score is and don't have to wait, I also like what Abc, first did and now CBS, and ESPN do is put the score on the offensive teams side of the screen. That way when there's a penalty and the ref just points at first you know who it's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
