Launch New BBC Sport Graphics

[Internationalman]

P.S.  Have they trimmed half an hour off the BBC highlights this year - sure it used to get a two hour slot?

They have for the first 3 days but I think it is down to the fact BBC have so much on this weekend with Women's Euros, First Night of the Proms etc.  Sunday is 2 hours from 8.15pm-10.15pm so hope it is just for this year. 

On the new BBC Sport graphics, I don't think they are that bad, not perfect but I remember many complaints about the last set when the BBC introduced them, I remember a whole segment on points of view saying the last set were terrible and singled out Final Score graphics as a downgrade.

Yep. I like these graphics. And I’m not being forgiving or courteous, I genuinely like this design. Why? It is very expansive. More expansive than the previous design. The colored gradients give off a blast of individuality, and the sliding up animation is reminiscent of the rest of the BBC’s brand design. I honestly think that, given some time, the design will come around to most people here. We did it for the previous look.
