NEOMatrix 1295 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Wow! That scoreboard looks like a blander version of NBC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Also, is CBS going to raise the scoreboard a little bit so that there's a ticker come September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted February 7, 2016 Share 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted February 8, 2016 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1678 Posted February 8, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist 894 Posted February 8, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted February 8, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3066 Posted February 8, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swillh2k2 203 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 3066 Posted February 9, 2016 Share 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.

swillh2k2 203 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5276 Posted February 9, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 66 Posted February 10, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[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 252 Posted February 11, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 2059 Posted February 11, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
