SF26 LIVE
Design Canon
The ticker becomes the shell.
This patterns page establishes the full SF26 Live language from the NAD ticker itself: navy as stage, gold as signal, Bebas Neue as voice, DM Sans as support, and the authentic NAD logo carried directly into the shell. The goal is one coherent broadcast family across operator, audience, signage, scorebars, ticker surfaces, and marquee moments.

DEAF PRESIDENT NOW
Save the strongest sheen, glow, and signal energy for marquee moments. Most of the system stays composed so this feels special when it appears.

Principles
Usage rules
Do
- Use the authentic NAD logo from the ticker in shell rails, brand strips, and sanctioned badges.
- Let gold signal importance and keep navy as the stage.
- Prefer bands, rails, and separators over repetitive dashboard boxes.
- Save animation for moments: category reveal, countdown urgency, answer reveal, champion state.
- Keep the family coherent across operator, audience, signage, ticker, and lower thirds.
Avoid
- No esports neon or random cyan accents.
- No Fox clone scorebug language that breaks the NAD house identity.
- No thick SaaS chrome everywhere.
- No equal-weight cards that flatten hierarchy.
- No disconnected mini-products; the ticker is the DNA sample for the whole shell.
