Sky tend to change their graphics midseason for some bizarre reason.
Quite dissappointed in the new title sequence - seems like a miss-match of stuff which only includes shots of Arsenal and Chelsea (There are football teams outside London). You can't beat the very first Super Sunday and MNF title with all the swooping around a stadium and the two club badges colliding.
Wonder what the new titles of The Premiership will have instore for us no doubt shots of Ashley Cole, Sol Campbell and Van Cheat-a-lot
On the Hotbird satellite, there is a mosiac channel which was broadcasting a Premiership Match, and from what little I could see, TWI have changed their graphics, and their scordboard looks really cool, makes the Sky Sports one look ordinary IMHO.
I've never undersood why Sky (money grabbing)Sports put so much effort into their Super League graphics, they should be putting their best graphics on the Premier League.

Each team works independently. They are given the generic design and allowed to adapt it within certain constraints.
Well I only saw the highlights at 12am on Sky Sports and I thought it looked terrible. The Ford sponser adverts are plain rubbish and the intro was terrible. Why oh why are they not using the Elton John advert for the intro sequence and just inserting some clips of great Premiership goals?!?! It would look amazing, and the Elton John ad has been succesful and is memorable.
Now on to the match. Ian Payne?!?! Keep Richard Keys on all Premiership games please. And sort out the graphics. Why are they using Futura for the scorebox and Handel Gothic for everything else. They should use one or the other, not both. Personally I liked last season's graphics and I reckon they should have gone all out and used the infobar at the bottom of the screen instead of the scorebox on all sports. Also, the scorebox just floats in the middle of nowhere if you have a widescreen TV - it looked better when the bar went to the edge of the screen. And why have they dumped Handel Gothic on the scorebox?! It wasn't hard to read and now it doesn't match the other graphics!
Well remember yesterday's match was a 'Football Special', so there might be better graphics to come for 'Super Sunday'. Hopefully anyway.
With regards to Richard Keys presenting every Premiership match, that's going to be difficult this season, as he is no doubt the new presenter for their extensive Champions League coverage. The guy will need some time off!! Although I do think Jeff Stelling is under-used sometimes.
Fingers crossed for 3'O'clock and some new graphics. If not, expect them to change half way through the season again, which is a little disorganised.
