For some years now, we've seen sports graphics become simpler and flatter. Compare FOX graphics from 15 years ago to this season and you'll see a monumental difference. However, NBC bucked the trend last year with their new package featuring gradients and shadowing galore. I believe that this will be the first in a trend back in the direction of fancier scorebugs. If CBS does make this change, then I think we will be seeing changes in that direction all throughout the world of sports. I have a good feeling that is going to be happening. All of the Super Bowl shows on CBSSN have been using graphics very similar to NBC’s New Graphics. Like this example, or this one. 12 hours ago, neo_prankster said: Watching the Sixers/Lakers game and saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esj4vC1na7M The voiceover on that disclaimer reminds me of Ian Eagle.

Curtos07 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Sounds like CBS will be debuting new graphics, but not a major rebrand like last time. Seems to be more of tweak than anything. Quote The basic on-air graphics that will be seen throughout the main game telecast will not be drastically different from what CBS Sports has been using throughout the 2018-19 NFL regular season. In fact, CBS Sports —with the help of design firm Troika—rebranded its on-air look in 2016, its first in 35 years, which debuted for Super Bowl 50. "We did a massive rebrand for Super Bowl 50 and are still pleased with how it looks,” LoMonaco said. “It has redefined the personality of CBS Sports.There’s a lot of love for the look and it solves a lot of esthetic and practicality issues for us as designers, so we were not quick to walk away from but enhance the look and make it extra special for the Super Bowl telecast.” These graphics will be delivered by ChyronHego systems for the insert graphics and also SMT’s SportCG product for the lower-third CBS in-game eyebar (designed by Reality Check Systems). Full motion animations will be pre-produced at CBS in New York using Adobe After Effects and Maxon Computer’s Cinema 4D software. A graphics design company called Troika was also brought in to help creatively. https://www.thebroadcastbridge.com/content/entry/12645/cbs-sports-looks-to-raise-the-graphics-bar-for-super-bowl-liii Interested in what the augmented reality graphics that they are talking about in the link above look like. Richar Deitsch also mentioned it in his Super Bowl preview over at The Athletic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtek34 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 So based on this, I’m guessing a small update like the 2009-2013/2013-2016 graphics where it was tweaks and not major changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeauXone Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 If you look at the graphics they use when they head to commercial break, you can see they're pretty different and kinda heavy on grays and shiny elements. I'm gonna go ahead and say that's what their next package looks like next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtek34 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Well, the CBS Logo background is Blue rather than Grey on the scorebug, so...... change? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo_prankster Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 A montage of TNT NBA playoff intros from a couple years back. My favorite parts of these intros are the establishing shots of the arena exterior or the cities with no other graphics except for the closed captioned symbol at the top right. I also love when they'd show Jurassic Park at the beginning of the Raptors' home games. 1 Quote The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone on record that I'm ready for a change from TNT (currently in its 5th season having used these graphics). While it is an absolute beauty, especially with how they incorporate cities, I'd say the 2010-11 set was superior. It brought more color and the transitions had full-screen shots of key locations in town or the city skyline. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
