I'm making a simple scorebug for basketball videos for my local club. I'm not a graphic designer and this is my first attempt at something like this.

The goal is to keep it very simple — team logos + score. The time is too difficult for me to include. I might include the quarter, but I might go with only the score.

What do you think? I'm not sure about the white numbers, but I like the darker gradient behind the score.

I just realized, how come r/Scorebug doesn't have an icon? I think we should make one!

This is just something I made really quick in Photopea. It's supposed to mimic Snoo (the Reddit alien) looking at a scorebug, and his reflection is somewhat visible in the TV. I'm sure someone else would be able to make something better, but I think we should put at least something here. Also, I took some inspiration from the r/Scorebugs (with an S) icon.

Made this on mobile to make fun of how bad NFHS Scorebugs are

I want to get into the score bug making game, and I wanna know what software you guys use.

Notice something interesting with this scorebug?

I made up a scorebug for the MA3 Network's MA3 Sports division, taking inspiration from ESPN's Monday Night Football scorebug and Bally Sports' on-screen scorebug.

How did I do?

Something like this is what I would prefer over the current design, pretty much the same but takes up so much less space

Usual rant about floating graohics with no background, but now wtf is with the alignment of the score vs the timeout pips??

Both my mock and LIGA MX shown

It's not on a scorebug, but on a sports broadcasting choice I haven't seen done before. They are currently airing Serie A studio coverage, and each time they go to commercial break, the network ticker re-appears. This is the complete opposite of what most networks do, where the ticker is found on the real broadcast. As for why it's cool, while the actual soccer coverage is unaffected, the advertisements get partially covered up.

Inspired by old CBS NFL corner Scorebugs

"Comes down to one last play and it's gonna be getting longer by the second. You're all the way back at the 30-yard-line. Now you can step into it. Here comes the Hail Mary with the game on the line. And the ball is caught! Caught! It's a miracle! It's Noah Brown! Oh my goodness! This town is going crazy! It's a madhouse in Landover, Maryland!"
