Based off the hit “Invincible” by Adelitas Way, Salt recently had the pleasure of teaming up with FSN to put a unique twist on a graphics package, embedding music as part of the College Football Saturday brand and the marketing of live games.

An old friend of GraphicsMafia Bright Photon (Formerly GKaster) has teamed up with Capacity to create this amazing Thursday Night Football intro for the NFL. As always, amazing work.

For the 2010/11 installment of Thursday Night Football packaging, we were fortunate enough to orchestrate a multinational collaboration with some of our favorite artists. Our Los Angeles-based team worked closely with Dublin-based Echolab and Paris-based BrightPhoton, as well as fellow countryman and legendary concept artist, Hawaii-based Craig Mullins and of course the talented team at NFL Network down the street. The resulting creation is an epic, NFL-branded labor of love.

The T.Ocho Show Promo from Troika Design Group on Vimeo.

We recently teamed up with Versus to create the promo and show packages for the new T.Ocho Show. A graphic environment was developed with bright screens circling a stylized football field, walled in by the players’ most memorable quotes to reflect the toughness of the NFL while alluding to the ‘what will they do next’ personalities both players have become associated with.

Really nice spot.
