MidwestTV 1232 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 ESPN is using a special edition of the stock graphics for the CFP games this year [MEDIA=twitter]815294636059230214[/MEDIA] It's ... I don't know. It's cool, but it feels like a MNF-ized version of the current graphics. There is way too much happening in the upper left graphic.

Viper550 291 Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 There is way too much happening in the upper left graphic. That's actually their "Command Center" alternate feed (which in this case was on ESPN2). It's meant to be a gigantic wall of stats/camera angles.

It's meant to be a gigantic wall of stats/camera angles. Yeah and the SEC Network had the Finebaum Film Room where Finebaum and his "friends" watch the game and offer their real-time insight analysis.

Viper550 291 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 [MEDIA=twitter]845352481836158977[/MEDIA] And now NCAA hockey (though I preferred the World Cup version. That power play tab is way too big, but at least it's not literally the college football scoreboard.)

Viper550 291 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 As with the old graphics, the new NBA graphics have a special Finals version too, which appear to be the existing ones except recolored dark grey and gold, and with a "studded" look.

24994J 5577 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 The Scripps National Spelling Bee also has new graphics, though like the old look, it has no resemblance to any other ESPN property.

Samantha 2895 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 The Scripps National Spelling Bee also has new graphics, though like the old look, it has no resemblance to any other ESPN property. Given there was an ESPN live bug *on top* of stuff in the upper left, I suspect those are made at Scripps.

Viper550 291 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 [MEDIA=twitter]917212751059144704[/MEDIA] ESPN has done some tweaks to their NBA graphics, with a considerably smaller scoreboard. It's akin to one of the hundreds of different sizes they tried last year, but now it's all completely flat too. The ESPN NBA bug is also transparent and alongside the bar.

Williams1402 45 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 [MEDIA=twitter]917212751059144704[/MEDIA] ESPN has done some tweaks to their NBA graphics, with a considerably smaller scoreboard. Looks more compact, as people don't have to see the sides being bordered up with the smaller scoreboard.

Mannym13 15 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 As of tonight, the basketball graphics are no longer centered but left aligned and lowered on the screen (I think) and the ESPN NBA logo is now in color and in the bottom right corner of the screen. Honestly, it looks like a flattened version of last year's just without the giant tab on the right. I'd say it looks much better as the centered look was so awkward. I just ask for the return of light bars for timeouts and not an actual count. That was too much change too quickly.

Viper550 291 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 ESPN did one more tweak to the new scoreboard; the separate bug is gone, and they put a tab with a normal ESPN logo on the right. It still extends into the larger form from last season if they're showing stats. I didn't mind how it looked last season, but at least this is a bit better.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 This is better. I've always been a fan of having branding attached to score graphics. Plus, this is a lot more space-efficient than last year.

Viper550 291 Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Meanwhile, SEC Network dragged this out for a pre-season scrimmage. I think we're getting new college basketball graphics. [MEDIA=twitter]921512908777025538[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]921513095545151489[/MEDIA] Okay, that scoreboard is a bit messy. I'd actually rather have the same layout as the NBA graphics at this rate. But the aesthetic is interesting and is definitely a bit more pleasing than Fox for sure.

Viper550 291 Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 The CFP Special Edition graphics are back (though this year some of the L3s from it had been appearing in their normal studio programming), but the scoreboard is flatter and the clock/downage isn't italic.
