WCAUTVNBC10 413 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. This already looks a lot like their show graphics for both SNF/FNIA and their NHL coverage so I'm betting this the final look for everything.

Yep, I'm having the same feeling too. All of NBC's custom gfx thus far retained the same visual aesthetic from the original, so it's kinda safe to say that the current generic package will live on beyond the Super Bowl and Olympics for some time.

In that Adweek piece, Gaudelli said this would be a new graphics package for NBC Sports. I don’t think the executive producer for SNF would lie about it.
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Posted February 4, 2018 This graphic looks too much like MNF.
rkolsen 1686 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Very nice. I’m surprised the NBCSNF twitter handle wasn’t taken over by the network.
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Posted February 4, 2018 New scorebug kinda animates like the TNF bug
NEOMatrix 1307 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 *proceeds to vomit* Looks like something in a Madden game. *vomits again*
Viper550 292 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Kinda looks like the old Root Sports package. It's also quite ugly; I would have preferred that more TNF-like prediction [MEDIA=twitter]960295597348671488[/MEDIA] That down arrow is also quite ugly
24994J 5630 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 The 7 second possession clock turns red, as always, but the light immediately starts to funnel out, like a timer running out of sand. I also LOVE the glowing neon effect to the lit elements on the scorebar, another nod to the TNF package.
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Posted February 4, 2018 Looks like we’re doing retracting scorebug like Fox too.
AlNYTVRadio 21 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...: I honestly like your mockup version of the scoreboard over the ones NBC just debuted. Both are still very nice in my opinion, but your font choice in my opinion fits better.
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 I honestly like your mockup version of the scoreboard over the ones NBC just debuted. Both are still very nice in my opinion, but your font choice in my opinion fits better. The font is different but close to the mockup you did. Nice job!
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Posted February 4, 2018 I despise that down arrow. It looks like it was made in a day.
Spring Rubber 716 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 I despise that down arrow. It looks like it was made in a day. Same. Horrible font choice. Doesn't fit with anything. I like everything else so far.
Avro 10 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Graphics look great so far. I'm trying to figure out why the font for the timer is different compared to everything else on the lower third. Also looks like they're still using Frank. On another note, I'm hoping EA Sports can get to use the new graphics in their upcoming games. NHL has been using the NBC graphics since 2014 (NHL 15) but Madden is still using graphics designed by EA, which could use a NBC redesign.

An uppercase G has a spur and tail.
Avro 10 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 That's not Frank. An uppercase G has a spur and tail. Looks like you're right. My bad.
WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 It might be a custom font based off Frank.
Georgie56 3326 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Posted February 5, 2018 Halftime show is using the ticker and intro from the old graphics.
Spring Rubber 716 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Halftime show is using the ticker and intro from the old graphics. Bizarre. Can't believe they didn't bother to redo those.
WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Bizarre. Can't believe they didn't bother to redo those. Bring that their RSNs are still using a ticker from two packages ago, it's not surprising.
Northerner 32 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Bring that their RSNs are still using a ticker from two packages ago, it's not surprising. What are the chances that this was a package only for SNF going forward?
Northerner 32 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Sportsnet is more blue and gold for NHL for some reason. But their generic graphics for everything are predominantly royal blue. I see more silver in their look than gold. I'd almost say it's time for Sportsnet to update, either next hockey season or prior to the Jays home opener leading into the NHL playoffs. Their animations and transitions are very 3D; Tim and Sid use a flat look for their GFX while retaining the font, so they have something to build on. Before Sportsnet/Rogers bought it out, The Score unveiled a flat look from around the end of 2012 to July 2013. They never got around to updating the ticker and never really matched, but the look they used for their highlights was far ahead of it's time. The NBC Olympics preview we saw reminds me of the ESPN College Basketball look.
Spring Rubber 716 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 What are the chances that this was a package only for SNF going forward? I really hope not. That would be an incredible waste of money and time. It pains me that ESPN started doing that, especially when they're on hard times financially.
