NEOMatrix 1307 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Wow! That scoreboard looks like a blander version of NBC's.
NEOMatrix 1307 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Also, is CBS going to raise the scoreboard a little bit so that there's a ticker come September?
24994J 5657 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 The score not lining up with the team abbreviation is killing me. Other than that, it's an improvement. Someone back me up on this, but the new bar seems to follow the TNF template, no? NBC still has the best package, and TNF is a close second.

Someone back me up on this, but the new bar seems to follow the TNF template, no? NBC still has the best package, and TNF is a close second. I have a feeling the Thursday Night presentation is going to change. The incumbent Thursday Night theme is musically related to the NFL on CBS music. NBC won't want that. And they can't use NBC imagery because of the CBS stuff, and then there are games on NFL Network.
Viper550 292 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 What I bet is going to happen, is that they're going to dump the shared presentation. CBS might keep the music but pair it up with their new look, and I bet NBC might play off their SNF package. NFL Network could keep the CBS-era look or just revert back to the black/silver (but the latter probably won't happen)
rkolsen 1692 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I'm beginning to project a top-left scoreboard, or maybe even bottom-left (could a bottom-left scoreboard work for football? It didn't look too bad for baseball I believe bottom left bugs work better with baseball because most of the action occurs in the middle to upper right of the frame. With football there are much wider shots showing the field and more players.
Journalist 894 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Well woulda look at that, the new CBS Sports graphics are logo are done in part of Troika. It's literally five of their previous work with other clients morphed into one package. Why.
Viper550 292 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Oddly enough, some of how this look was what I predicted Sportsnet was probably going to do for the NHL re-launch until they went with that glossy blue one instead. I also poked through and found this http://www.benbullockdesign.com/NFL-on-CBS (He's a Troika freelancer) Could these have been unused concepts for the previous CBS graphics before they ended up going with that steel/gloss/Klavika treatment they ended up using instead? Heck, that boxy scoreboard there actually seems like it could have been reasonable enough for the aesthetic.
Georgie56 3333 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 And here's Troika's montage of the look, with a few glimpses at the golf graphics and regular NFL open. I love it. http://www.troika.tv/cbs-sports-rebrand/?cat=4
swillh2k2 205 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Love this look. Although the logo and L3s are not flashy and rather basic, the overall elements as a whole make the package stand out.
Journalist 894 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Bets it'll take another year for CBS Golf to upgrade to the current Troika graphics.
Georgie56 3333 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Bets it'll take another year for CBS Golf to upgrade to the current Troika graphics. It shouldn't. A promo for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am aired during The Super Bowl Today yesterday using the new graphics and logo. I'd expect to see the golf graphics debut this weekend.
WCAUTVNBC10 415 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 If you look on the reel linked above, they've already been created. Just a matter of implementing them.
swillh2k2 205 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Bets it'll take another year for CBS Golf to upgrade to the current Troika graphics. It's been mentioned, but the new look doesn't match the old one in any shape or form, so 100% the new look is adopted across the board right away. That's also consistent with what CBS said themselves.

24994J 5657 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Not bad. I think I like it better than the NFL pack. I'm curious to see how the March Madness look will deviate, if at all.

24994J 5657 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I doubt it since that look is based off the general Turner look. Personally, I saw some similarities to the outgoing CBS stuff. Besides, a CBS revamp, a TNT NBA update, and new logos for TNT and TBS would tell me that something new is on the way this March...but that's just me.
mike91 67 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 They've been using the March Madness graphics since the Turner/CBS partnership began in 2011. It's time for a change.
Samantha 2905 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 That is a good look — really loving the animations and effects.
Viper550 292 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 For NBA, they just updated the current graphics to use the new TNT logo.
Studio B 20 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Here's the basketball version debuted yesterday. [GALLERY=media, 773]CBS Sports basketball score bug 2016 by RGSJenkins posted Feb 9, 2016 at 3:01 PM[/GALLERY] I don't like how the scorebar is right on top of the bottom line, it's not a good look. Also, the bottom line is too big. Save for the scorebar, which is a little too simplistic for me, I do think the rest of the package is solid.
caliwxdude 254 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Personally, I saw some similarities to the outgoing CBS stuff. Besides, a CBS revamp, a TNT NBA update, and new logos for TNT and TBS would tell me that something new is on the way this March...but that's just me. CBS aired a quick March Madness promo during one of the Super Bowl breaks. The March Madness logo looked slightly updated from what we've seen for the past few years, including the new TBS/TNT logos and using the CBS Eye/logotype lockup. The graphics in use since 2011 are definitely a Turner Sports design, so I wouldn't hold your breath for any monumental updates even in lieu of the new CBS Sports look. I'm curious to see what they come up with for sure.
nathannah 2520 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 It shouldn't. A promo for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am aired during The Super Bowl Today yesterday using the new graphics and logo. I'd expect to see the golf graphics debut this weekend. Though as usual the Masters probably will require the early 2006ish graphics to remain. Probably the only concession they'll make is to the font and new Sports logo, and even with that Augusta will need to be convinced that it'll be as readable as large-print Helvetica or Futura.

No doubt there since the median golf viewer age is trending toward 70, 80 for the Masters.
