Just had a look this morning, and it's all changed (ready for the new season starting tommorrow).

They're making better use of the on-screen layout, but if anyone's been expecting a whole new look to Sky Sports, I wouldn't after seeing this.

Any screen grabs ?

They've changed the names of the hours as well; so, for example, before, they were named "Football Update", now it's the "Morning Report."

Not keen on the music, but I like the titles. The on-screen graphics aren't revolutionary, but they're alright. Just alright. I suppose it feels less "boxed-in" than before, simply due to the curved edges.

That's not the Channel dog animating to reveal the time and date is it?

Yes, the DOG does indeed rotate.

I personally love this new look - it just works!!

Alot classier than before.

It doesnt look like the logos staying long, as on the top of the hour main ident, the NEWS bit is in the Handel Ghothic font, not the Sky font, and looks a bit funny in terms of quality, so a new logo soon then, when Sky relaunches perhaps? Really nice titles.

And looking at the name astons, it appears that any further use of Handle Gothic Bold's as the house font seem numbered.

Is it only the Golf and the Rugby (both codes) that still use it on screen.?
