On Sky News they are promoting the move tomorrow of Sky Sports News to EPG 408 and they are using the new logo.

So are they launching tomorrow? Have to wait and see.

Also, found this MP3, it's the music from Sky Sports 1992 :

Is that the Same font as the Sky News logo?

Is it me or does the Sky Sports News logo look much better than the Sky News one?

I presume all of the SKY SPORTS channels are re-brading but when, tommorow, Tuesday is an odd day to do it!

No new look tomorrow, just an EPG Channel Shuffle, although there will be a refreshed graphics sequence coming very shortly along with the updated Channel Logo.

Looking at Sky Sports, I would guess that the new logo etc should debut within 2 weeks. The new logo has already been added to the front of the desk used on the Spanish football coverage, although the old logos are still used under the 'big screen.' The European Golf uses them on it's opening titles.

One thing that confused me yesterday was Super Sunday coming from Sky Centre instead of Craven Cottage. Was it not possible to set up a studio at the Cottage or was there some other reason?

I think nearly everyone on Sky has Sky Sports News, if you subscribe to the Family Package or above anyway!
The new logo looks very nice, although not too different from the last one.
The reason it looks better than SKYnews' logo in my opinion is because both words are in upper case, rather than capital SKY then sports in normal.
We''ll see tomorrow Smile

I think the new SKY|SPORTS | NEWS logo is good, if not a bit brash. I wonder if the new look will be similar to SKYnews, i think that there should be more interaction between the two channels, like sportsline could be branded as SKYsports News, and the could switch to the Sky Sports Centre, for sport updates...

anywho, i shall watch, and fingers crossed that horrendously over the top fanfaresh american style music has been ditched!!!

In the Sky Customer Magazine and on the Sky Customer Channel, the EPG number move is advertised as taking place on March 18th, which was last Monday, so there was obviously some kind of delay.

The new logo looks nice, clearly building on the fact that the current Sky Sports logo is probably the most recognisable they've had amoungst the general public.

I'm not sure, but I can't remember any other time Sky Sports has rebranded at this time of year - it normally happens around the start of the football season with the new logo first seen on set and in the graphics of the Charity Shelid before fully launching a month or two later.

perhaps they want to get the logo out and settled in time for the World Cup
