Sky Sports graphics

I notice that Sky Sports has new graphics for its football coverage this afternoon... do you think there whole look will be changing on September 3rd with a new logo. It looks as if it could all change...

Oooh sounds good, anyone with any screen caps? It looks like i'm back to my old style of finding out new TV looks by watching the sports news!

Also, I see the Match of the Day studio is now on the second tier of the BBC Sport studio - the whole package works together well. Don't have ITV Sport Channel so can't compare though!

Can anyone post any screenshots please? I only have the Sky Family Pack and I'm desperate to see the new look!

I've not got any screenshots but having looked at them properly, they look excellent.
By far the best sports graphics on TV.
I'd guess they will have to adopt the generic Sky branding sooner or later. Hopefully this will mean a new set of info panels for Sky Sports News - or they could get rid of them totally!
The little goal DOg used on Sky Sports is excellent - looks really good with that dark blue and sliver.
Why are the Beeb not using Sky graphics for the news?!

I suppose the BBC used their own graphics from Match of the Day - well they would wouldn't they!!!

So Sky Sports, as revealed in the TVhome forum by myself yesterday with pictures, introduced their first overhall of football graphics in 3 years. They are excellent & are heavily influenced by ESPN or ABC (can't remember) in America. The reason BBC didn't carry any Sky Sports graphics is that they would have received a clean aston-free feed of Sky's coverage for their MOTD highlights later. They would however receive a feed with the logos superimposed on the pitch & the sequences used to introduce replays.

I've just got back from Cardiff's Millennium Stadium & grabbing some air! The first ever competitive English (probably UK) match to be played indoors (the roof was on) meant it was hard to breathe by the second half. It was my first visit to the stadium & I was very impressed. Millennium Stadium puts Wembley's press facilities to shame. Whereas in London you could hardly move in the VERY small room provided, in Cardiff the 2 VERY large rooms for the media mean that you can actually breathe & move around easily. Infact they are probably some of the best facilities in the country.

Yeah, I like the graphics and everyone says the Millennium stadium is good.... bet it was cool to be there.

And welcome to the temporary home SkyNews and everyone!!

Yeah the Millennium Stadium is brilliant not only for us media types but for spectators as well.  Now if only wales would do better at rugby....(wishful thinking)!

Anyway back to the topic in hand I thought that broadcasters tried to keep the graphics similar for sporting events when broadcast on multiple channels (e.g Cricket on 4 and Sky), or have i just been wrongly informed of such matters?

They give you better food though in the Wembley press room (in its day)!

Re: The weeekend's PGA Tour Golf event at Celtic Manor in Newport (I stayed a mile away from their on Saturday night!). BBC Wales carried highlights from the event introduced by Frances Donovan, with the Sky Sports graphics. The reason for this is that Sky produce the coverage for the Tour so other broadcasters taking feed of the event use the Sky Sports graphics. The same happens when C4/BBC show highlights of England's cricketers on tour normally.

I thought that the BBC's on screen graphic for the Charity Shield Highlights was HUGE and so unnecessary. What happened to small and discreet. The ITV Sport Channel have a permanent on screen DOG (or should that be DINGO) if full colour.
