Viper550 268 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Firstly... World feed Yeah, it's the same package from London, except the L3's now have diamond patterns and snow running through them, and a slightly nicer transition. Surprisingly, they kept elements that seemed to fit more with the diagonal line fixation of London (i.e. the slanted flags) Canada CBC's look is very avant-garde, with a white, red, and gold color scheme and a lot of diamonds. Most of their graphics carry on a similar motif, but the one curious thing I've noticed is that they're actually using the world feed L3's for studio coverage. I've never seen either CTV or CBC (or even NBC) do that before; CTV had its own package, and CBC previously used variants of the normal CBC Sports look (for Beijing, it was a red recolor). And yes, CBC's old theme music got re-arranged too, no more of that "I Believe" nonsense! NBC Mountains! Oh, and I'm not the only one seeing the Hearst Triangles in there. The rest of the graphics are, well, like London (i.e. modified version of the stock NBC Sports 2012 design) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrh1985 56 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 ^No, You're Not! Just saw NBC's Regular Coverage Open tonight(my favorite thing about NBC!) and its looks like Hearst bought NBC! Or, the other way around! How does that work?, as NBC News still has all their graphics. Is NBC just using Hearst for Sochi? or will we see more?

tlproductions 0 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 When seeing NBC's version of olympic graphics I immediately thought of the diagrid look from Hearst Television, Although I think they could have made a unique branding technique, I really enjoy the treatments they used, & the graphical arrangments are actually different than Hearst in terms of the scale and motion that they used. Transparency is more thourough in NBC, In Hearst we dont see that as much. -Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it would be intresting to see how HTV would treat NBC graphics in correlation with their diagrid look, but that's not the case. I first noticed the "Diagrid" Look on NBC during their New Years broadcast, and I thought "Why is NBC using the Hearst graphics? Hearst made the triangle graphics to reflect the structure of the Hearst Tower in New York. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe NBC has any link to that architectural style. I would like to know why NBC has embraced diagrid. However I think it looks great! -Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5277 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I said it once, and it bears repeating... Hearst does not own the triangle. Besides, the triangle/diamond design comes from the medal design... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the triangle/diamond design comes from the medal design... I completely understand that Hearst doesent own the triangle, or the diagrid design. However, Hearst has a reason for designing the graphics the way they did because of the Hearst Tower, I'm curious as to why NBC used it without any prior linkage to that design, As for the medal, That wouldn't explain why they used them during the New Year Broadcast, Or does it....... -Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panewswatcher69 26 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Did NBC run a Sochi Olympic closing credit roll? Watched both airings of the closing ceremony but did not see one except for ending five minute olympic montage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
