This week's preview... There's not much so say, so here it is!



*Yes, Sunderland. I know. It's intentional.

Salute!

I like the changes to the image layout, by the way.

Eww, the numbers and letters clutter the screen without communicating anything to anyone that doesn't already know what the image means.  A simple label for the entire cog would do so it's not shoving the teams' symbols off of the cog.

The #2a, #2b, et cetera are extraneous, if you don't know what the cogs mean those little hashes and numbers and letters aren't going to mean much to you anyways, they're not even legible on the smallest cog.  What they instead accomplish is take up room on those tiny cog wheels so that not everyone's logos can fit.  It'd be more space-efficient to just put the number in the middle of the cog and drop the hashes and letters.

But without them it gets extremely confusing which matches are coming up the following week.

Arrows, those can be put outside the cog so they're not competing for room with the logos.  Not to mention the hashes themselves communicate nothing but take up the most space.

I think that the number should be in the centre of each cog, with the letters (without numbers) in the sections. Then just leave the hashes out completely.

I'm not sure if even that's necessary with that table to the left.

It's a by product of being tangible.
