Georgie56 3326 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Turns out NBC Sports waited until Super Bowl LII this time to debut a new graphics package: http://www.adweek.com/tv-video/nbc-will-cover-any-national-anthem-protests-that-occur-during-the-super-bowl/amp/
Journalist 894 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I won't be suprised if they flatten the inserts similar to the current graphics for Altitude Sports.
rkolsen 1686 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 The three dimensional scans seem like an extension of Intels FreeD System.
Spring Rubber 716 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I assume the graphics will be flat just like everyone else.
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Fred Gaudelli posted a picture of a control truck with a sneak peek at the new graphics (you may have to zoom in) [MEDIA=twitter]958759243506733056[/MEDIA]
24994J 5630 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 For those that can't quite zoom in far enough. As hard as it is to see, it seems like it's picking up some bolder, flashier cues from the Thursday Night graphics...
Spring Rubber 716 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Is there... *gasp* gradient in these graphics? They might not be entirely flat? Kudos if so.
Journalist 894 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Are those inserts slanted? Wow, I thought those days were over. Anyways, from that picture, here's what I saw...:
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Are those inserts slanted? Wow, I thought those days were over. Anyways, from that picture, here's what I saw...: This looks like a mixture of MNF and NBC TNF. Can’t wait to see the rest of this on Sunday.
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Are those inserts slanted? Wow, I thought those days were over. Anyways, from that picture, here's what I saw...: I think your on point with what you saw. Can't wait to see this in action on Sunday.
WestleyWolf 122 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 the slanted shape of FOX score bug for the 2003-2004 season comes to mind.
DonDonP1 118 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Are those inserts slanted? Wow, I thought those days were over. Anyways, from that picture, here's what I saw...: Cool! Can't wait till Sunday!
jrh1985 57 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Very nice! Will we see them at the winter games? Or is that a different package?
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Posted February 4, 2018 Saw a quick panel segment before Road To The Super Bowl. Here’s some first pics:
Jess 1116 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Very nice! Will we see them at the winter games? Or is that a different package? It'll be a mix of the new graphics and the standard worldwide Olympic graphics. You'll be able to tell: the NBC graphics are the good looking ones.
WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 It'll be a mix of the new graphics and the standard worldwide Olympic graphics. You'll be able to tell: the NBC graphics are the good looking ones. The IOC has a new package that deniedd during this Olympics' trials. They aren't all that good but way better than that blue mess the had been running for like the last 10 years.
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Posted February 4, 2018 Too bad Frank is going away. I really liked that font.
Viper550 292 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 They just did a remote to Pyeongchang which used a different L3 that I think will be the Olympic package. It animated like the old graphics, but had a frosted, boxy look and a different font. I don't know what is going on here with these main graphics... I think I preferred the mockup/prediction.
Mannym13 15 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Not a huge fan of the new package right now, but they'll grow on me. BUT NBC just did a quick little olympic tease and showed an L3 of Mike Tirico's name and they used the new NBC specific olympic graphics and those look beautiful
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Posted February 4, 2018 Here’s that Olympics graphic Viper saw:
Viper550 292 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 I'm not sure if I actually like the aesthetic. Part of me wonders if there even is a new package, or if they're going to make like ESPN and give every "major" property its own look (i.e. Olympics, NHL, SNF) but then have something generic for everything else. Or if this is pre-game specific and they're going to have a different look (or chicken out and switch back to the outgoing graphics like Fox did last year) in the game proper.
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Posted February 4, 2018 I honestly don’t know. A package like this would look good for NHL because of the grays and steel.
Viper550 292 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Sportsnet is more blue and gold for NHL for some reason. But their generic graphics for everything are predominantly royal blue.
