Not that it counts for much to museum folks, but ESPN, the sports television channel, reconfigured its entire graphics presentation last year — I think it started Jan 1, 2015 — so that all news reports, opinion pieces, and features are represented and accompanied by a fractured series of diagonal lines. For example, a piece about a particular sports figure will be accompanied by a rectangular screen divided diagonally with a photo of the star in the upper triangle and his name in the lower triangle, or a particular game will be shown by a similarly bisected screen with one team in the upper triangle and another in the lower. It doesn’t end with grilled cheese sandwich halves. The diagonals slice smaller segments of the rectangular screen, and shading allows them to project portions of the image forward or back. I thought it was audacious when they started it, and an indication that they simply had too much money. Now I notice that the copycat sports station started by Fox, called FS1, has coopted the diagonal graphics model.

As for logo-smooshing in general, within sports, Roger Federer and Kevin Durant have logos that elide parts of their initials to create a ghostlier demarcation.
