New Graphics for TSN - Page 2 - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

numba1killa · 2012-02-19, 07:46 PM

I'm really hoping that TSN will soon update their look, and sound. Maybe when they switch to full 16:9 aspect, they will update things.

Example: when Muchmusic updated their logo, and released their new network look, they also launched their HD simulcast at the same time.

So, maybe when TSN decides to change their bottomline or update their graphics, they will change their aspect ration from "4:3 safe area" to "full HD 16:9"

We've got the most new elements in use today ... but they're STILL using the old L3's! They stick out like a sore thumb.

Also interesting that they're using the 4:3 BottomLine even though everything else is 16:9

There must be something wrong with them, or they aren't melding with other elements... But when they are on the double-ender boxes, you can see new format graphics around the boxes. But yet again, the lower thirds and full page graphics haven't changed...

Like they have a version of this bottomline, can they please start using it on Sportscenter?

CenturyBreak · 2012-03-05, 07:07 PM

Not this side of the border, but they might use it on SportsCentre!

NB Josh · 2012-03-05, 07:19 PM

They use the double-line ticker (which is also new BTW, they introduced it last April) on SportsCentre because they, and many viewers, prefer it. I prefer TSN's ticker to ESPN's (theScore's is the best though).

I am told that last Monday was the beginning of the final role out of TSN's new package. I wasn't given a timetable on when to expect more, but if I had to guess the NHL playoffs would make sense.

Any word on why its taking so long for the intergration, NB_Josh?

NB Josh · 2012-03-05, 11:51 PM

No. Just that they have a number of new elements (essentially everything will be updated based on their 2010 look), so they're slowly rolling it out.

ESPN · 2012-03-06, 06:45 AM

@NBJosh I don't know, Personally I've always thought aesthetically the ESPN style bottomline matched up better with there Red and Silver chrome graphic packages. The Current version of the bottomline there using now I don't think is any better, it just has more polish to it.

If they could somehow meld the 2 of them (somehow adding a continuous scrolling scoreboard like on the bottom right of the TSN one to the ESPN one) it could be the best of both worlds IMO.

Just noticed on Thats Hockey 2Nite, they have a new feature "Goal Alert" that just came up and was formatted under the new design. Partial transitions you gotta love them lol.

Viper550 · 2012-03-10, 06:19 PM

And MLS on TSN 2012 is ...

the same ugly mismash from last year.

ESPN's silver scoreboard (with the wrong font and very small)
New looking transitions
Same old graphics everywhere else.

In relation to what Josh said, I had a Twitter convo the other week with the senior designer at TSN and he basically said that because they build/design their graphics in-house, they take longer to do and thus why they are rolling them out from sport-to-sport basically.

And when I said something about why wouldn't they do hockey first (seeing as it's their biggest sport), the reply I got was "hockey is so vast there is no way to get it done properly, better to wait than to rush it & screw it up."
