Canadian networks’ World Cup open gets royal treatment

Faceted “tiles” rotate to reveal photographic imagery of high profile players, also set against additional team and league imagery, as well as a field of floating team icons. Then, they zoom out through a mix of global iconography, gem-like renditions of European footballs and a rotating Russian seal, all before giving a brief glimpse of the jeweled ball again before a series of diamonds reveal the networks’ title slide.

A detailed rendition of the World Cup trophy is placed to the left of the title, which is rendered in an intricate serif typeface in blue and red with metallic accents. 

The total package includes multiple promos, interstitials and insert graphics to help the networks cover the games. You can explore more of the intricate look in our gallery.
