What... wow. What do I even say?

 

There's no doubt that this package was a downgrade. But I wasn't expecting it to be this bad. Like, poor man's NBC bad.

 

 

 

Literally nothing in this new package makes sense. The italics, the angularity, the gradients - everything - there's no depth or consistency. The animations are so out-right comical, it always make you question, why?

 

We shouldn't have ended up here with all of that accumulation from the previous two packs. It's like they stepped two decades back in sports presentation. At this rate I'm honestly worried if NBC and Fox brought back the stereotypical design trends of the early 2000's that they've fought for so long to ditch.

 

This... this is bad news.

I agree. At least CBS's graphics (NFL and other sports) make sense and have consistency.

I personally would've like the Fox Sports Netherlands look to have gotten adapted, but these graphics look good. Despite the blurriness, it looks like its a nice mix of shiny and flat. I guess we'll find out tonight (since its technically Sunday by the time I've posted this).

KDKA still has their temporary set that was used until the current set debuted in 2015. They still occasionally use it for Pittsburgh Today Live (PTL).

So that gives me a feeling that it could be used for CBSN Pittsburgh when it launches next year.

Who is running the graphics at CBS? CTM, Evening News and Special Reports lower thirds look like PowerPoint slide creations. 

The graphics have been like that for years, even on CBSN (National, not local).

Why does almost everyone on this forum hate simple logos like this?!? Personally, I find it aesthetically pleasing; plus it could have a variant with the NBC peacock.

You all need to realize that this logo is much more pleasing than something that's had thousands of effects thrown on it. *cough* Univision's 2013 logo *cough*

I'm a graphic designer, I would know.

Just because the preview of the new graphics may look tacky does not mean that the content and/or format of the show will change. I'm going to college for graphic design and I've seen things designed worse than these graphics for CTM (and that's really saying something).

NBC can't get rid of Hoda just 6 months in as co-anchor, especially since Today's ratings have started to get back to where they were before Ann left.
