Viper550 292 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I still find it perplexing that Fox didn't debut their current look at Super Bowl XLVIII, but all signs are pointing towards Fox Sports debuting a new look. First that new on-field downs marker, then the fact that they'll likely have to redo their entire NASCAR branding by default because of their new logo/Cup Series title sponsor. Now, we have this starting to pop up... [MEDIA=twitter]826237178917289992[/MEDIA] I'm not sure if I like this. It feels way too derivative so far (the L3s there look too much like ESPN, and why is boxy+DIN such a wide trend? I even saw a tweet by a Sinclair anchor during Super Bowl 50 who said that CBS's new look seemed a bit familiar). Pictures seem to indicate that Fox is still using the old graphics too - so who knows, maybe it might be last time where the pre-Super Bowl programming teased something, but it won't actually be used until NASCAR returns.
A3N 1002 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Overdue. The graphics packages start off fine, then a year or two in, they start to mess with them until you're left with a hodge-podge of different graphic styles/colors. Curious to see what they roll out for baseball.

Curious to see what they roll out for baseball. Cause in point, ESPN. They have a different package for nearly every sport ranging from way outdated (College hockey) to current (NBA) to stupid (NFL).

I wonder if MLB will get the same jazzed up version of the graphics as NBA/MNF/College Football playoffs.
WestleyWolf 122 Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Fox Sports has used Gotham since 2013. their starting to look alike to CBS in fact call me crazy but even NBC is using similar graphics. EDIT: apparently FOX sports made the switch from Chyron to Vizrt.
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Looks like somebody at Fox was watching CBS last year.
elfuego35 90 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 [ Looks like somebody at Fox was watching CBS last year. And CBS took it from NBC.
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I think this look is for the Super Bowl only, because I saw a split-screen earlier that used elements of the current look.
A3N 1002 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I think this look is for the Super Bowl only, because I saw a split-screen earlier that used elements of the current look. I doubt it. I don't recall FOX ever creating a look just for the Super Bowl. If the split screen looks familiar, it's because this package seems to be a heavy refresh of the last one. The L3's retained the glass border around them, and in general, the graphics layout is still the same. What has changed is the font/textures-gradients/colors- somewhat.
24994J 5630 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 As with ANY Fox Sports package, I'll reserve all judgement until I see the FoxBox.

EDIT: apparently FOX sports made the switch from Chyron to Vizrt. Fox Sports has been using the Antenna typeface and their own proprietary typeface. They have been using Vizrt since their last Super Bowl in 2010. If the split screen looks familiar, it's because this package seems to be a heavy refresh of the last one. The L3's retained the glass border around them, and in general, the graphics layout is still the same. What has changed is the font/textures-gradients/colors- somewhat. You're right on. Overall I'm seeing these inserts as a reskin of the concurrent. Additionally, I'm expecting some graphical elements from their concurrent look to be retained for this one.
Viper550 292 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 [MEDIA=twitter]828364611741167616[/MEDIA] Same layouts, except it's now mashed up with ESPN and Sinclair now, I guess Seems to be acting more "card"-like than the others though with the animation. Almost Android-like with how they're popping up and falling away

Georgie56 3326 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Well, this does regain some of the edginess that previous Fox Sports graphics packages had.
WestleyWolf 122 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Well, this does regain some of the edginess that previous Fox Sports graphics packages had. Except now its taking note from CBS in a way.
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Looks like it's going to be the same in-game graphics. Sigh.
Journalist 894 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 6:00 pm hour displayed their normal Fox Sports inserts. I'm fairly convinced these Super Bowl graphics are temporary.
Viper550 292 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 [MEDIA=twitter]828379246829645826[/MEDIA] You either missed a spot, or have a hunch. But despite this, all the signs (the DIN being used in-studio and on the new down arrow thing) was pointing towards a dramatic overhaul. Plus, TSN and KFMB have set precedents for such mix-and-match jobs. The white and red may just be a Super Bowl version, and we'll probably get some glossy blue reskin of it for NASCAR.
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Not entirely new, but the graphics are modified for what I consider it as a "refresh."
Spring Rubber 716 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 lol, there's a new Fox Box alright. It's just the old one with the borders removed and the textures flattened. Looks like it was a rush job.
