I don’t understand how they have managed to update some of the graphics on Sport Today to the new style, but are still using the old style for full screen slides. It’s so frustrating.

I just think the guy on the right ( white shirt) should be shooting out red laser from his eyes.

You think he looks like Cyclops from the X-Men? Confused

Did they really need that smaller BBC Sport logo on there? It's not even legible.

That is confusing as there is no indication what platform it's advertising. The smaller BBC Sport logo is where the TV or radio channels are shown. TMS means nothing to me.

If you're a cricket fan you're probably familiar with TMS meaning Test Match Special. No idea why they didn't use the 5 Live Sports Extra logo though.

Slight tweak on the scorebar at the UK Championship snooker, and a welcome one. Initially, the player at the table was denoted by a black bar, next to their score. Now, it's a black arrow on the yellow section where their name is, pointing to their name.

I'm watching the UK Championship snooker coverage on BBC Two HD. The new BBC Sport graphics styles do look really nice.

The new look snooker titles are not bad. They have a very bright, creative & colourful feel to them.

The old BBC Sport logos are still displayed on the wall where they list all of the sponsors for the UK Championship.

The text size is still an issue. It feels like it could be just a tad bigger. Also, whilst watching on BBC TWO HD I noticed the text was very jagged. Especially some characters on the players names, Williams especially with the W. Is the font just naturally not good looking at such small sizes or a rendering/graphical problem?

Reith has a normal weight and also a light weight but they never seem to use the light version anywhere, only the regular or bold.
