BBC Sport - new graphics (Reith font)

Some graphical errors on Final Score also. Reporting Everton's goal by Rooney and the score kept jumping from 0 to 1 and back again. Also, Rooney's name never appeared. Seems they are having some difficulties with the new system on its first outing.

BBC Red Button has its own channel number on the EPG on Virgin (channel 991) so you can record it.

The text looks very small, I have a feeling this is going to be another example of something being designed for big HD TVs without any thought to what it'll look like on a small TV with Freeview's SD compression

Red Button breaking away to BBC One at 3.50pm, but the BBC One programme doesn't start until 4pm.

Surely though anyone with access to the apps would watch in HD on them rather than endure the conventional broadcast service.

Looks better in HD. Not sure I agree with the comment above that the text looks small - if anything, some of it is on the large side. The bar on the left - if the majority of team names need to be abbreviated or squashed, the design isn't right. Maybe they could all be in the condensed version of the new font?

So is the BBC Sport one-size-fits-all logo policy now dead then? Football Focus didn't finish its titles with a logo (a bit like MOTD recently) while Final Score has its own.

Mind you BBC Sport NI have been ignoring it for Ulster Rugby Live for ages now.

Graphics looked fine at home in HD. Now I'm around my Grandma's (Who watches in Freeview SD) and it is basically unreadable. The white scores on the left hand side don't stick out against the blue background.

The light blue on the teleprinter is exactly the same. It doesn't stick out.

Another appearance of the strange BBC-less 'One' logo…



Results:

It looks really good. The animations are nice and flow well, very smooth. So glad to see the gloss disappear.

I switched between SD and HD and the font definitely looks different - like they've used bold in SD but regular in HD. Must be a strange encoding quirk...or just an excuse for me to get a new TV.

Hard to know whether to read more into that lonesome "one" or not. Seems an odd oversight in an otherwise well designed package.

I especially like the animations between the leagues for the results. There's something about that blue ring background that reminds me of CBBC around 2005, I think I prefer the hexagon design used as a holding slide.
