Jer15 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Sportsnet unveiled their new look today. The idea being that their TV stations, radio stations, website and, magazine all have the same look.Check out the logos here GTA United(USA) 2015 + 2016 USA Champions/Toronto Maroons (ULL)2014, 2015 + 2022 Gait Cup Champions/Toronto Northmen (TNFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Sportsnet unveiled their new look today. The idea being that their TV stations, radio stations, website and, magazine all have the same look.Check out the logos hereSaw this earlier today, and don't like the new logo. It looks very "American" to me, and the little blue/red mark looks like a cropped Buffalo Bills logo. When I heard Sportsnet was planning on launching a magazine, I started thinking that it would fail immediately. Sportsnet does not have the cache of TSN, and its brand is very weak in comparison to TSN. I don't think this new loook changes anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I still can't get over how ridiculous it is that the second Sportsnet channel is called Sportsnet One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Of course it looks "too American" when the letters aren't made out of maple leaves. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 It looks like the Buffalo Bills, especially the unused logo.

nash61 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 "Blue and red looks like Buffalo" is the new "red and yellow looks like McDonalds."It's the fact that it has a red streak over a solid blue shape, not that it's red/blue.

Quillz Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I don't think it looks that bad. Clean and simple.But what's the difference between "West" and "Pacific?" Is West being used for the Midwest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 This looks horribly generic and bland. I loved the old one, even though I have no idea what it's supposed to be. Watching Sportsnet Connected, hell, even Jays Connected will be an eyesore. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarred Revolver Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Upgrade IMO, old look was horrible and surprised it has lasted this long.I don't think it looks that bad. Clean and simple.But what's the difference between "West" and "Pacific?" Is West being used for the Midwest?Pacific is BC and Yukon, West is Alberta, Sask, Manitoba.

Very stupid on TSN not to make the Jets available to the entire country.Anyways back to the change. If it means a change to their horrible graphic package then great, it's a good clean update.

M4One Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I still can't get over how ridiculous it is that the second Sportsnet channel is called Sportsnet One.I guess the One is because it is the national channel while before SNOne, it was just four seperate regional channels with shows broadcast for their timezones except for the Jays.It looks like the Buffalo Bills, especially the unused logo. I saw them do a piece just the other day about the new magazine and had no idea they were going to rebrand the whole thing. When I saw the magazine, I thought the same things about the Bills. Maybe one day the network or the new magazine will do a story on what exactly the old logo was. This is also like the third or fourth time the network has under gone changes to its look.

If it means a change to their horrible graphic package then great, it's a good clean update.Ain't got nothing to do with TSN. By now shouldn't we all know about how the tv deals are seperated from national and regional deals. TSN can only show Jets games within the Jets region, except for the ones that are part of their national tv deal. It's why if you live in Halifax, the only time you would be able to see the Canucks (if you wanted) would be when they were on CBC and TSN nationally, but wouldn't be able to get their games on Sportsnet unless you bought centre ice.

Neon_Matrix Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'll give Sportsnet credit, they've gone out there and added a LOT of great analysts and writers. Their new branding is very bland, I agree, but the additions they've made in regards to content are going to enhance their reputation.
