What Is a Show Graphics Package? (And Why It Matters for Your Content)
What Is a Show Graphics Package?
You’ve got a show. Or maybe a branded video series. Or a podcast with a visual component. Either way, you’re ready to hand things off to your editor… but before you do, someone asks:
“Do you have a show graphics package?”
If your response is, “We’ve got a logo and some brand colors…” — this post is for you.
A Show Graphics Package is more than just a folder of assets. It’s the complete set of visual elements designed to give your project a cohesive, professional look. Whether you’re releasing on YouTube, pitching to a network, or prepping internal content for a brand, your graphics package helps define the visual language of your show.
So what goes into a show graphics package?
In our latest video, we break down some of the essential elements your package should include:
Opening Titles
Usually 3–5 seconds, these set the tone for your content. This could be a simple logo animation or something more dynamic with motion graphics, 3D elements, or live-action footage.Lower Thirds
These introduce your onscreen subjects with their name, title, company, and even social handles. Clean, branded, and readable.Looping Backgrounds
Useful for listing topics, showing credits, framing interviews, or layering media. These keep your screen active and visually consistent, even when content shifts.Transitions or Stingers
Quick branded animations that help you move from one scene or topic to another while keeping your pacing tight.End Screens
If you’re on YouTube, this is where you push the next video or prompt a subscribe. Whether you use static layouts or extend your video to the very end, a clear visual call-to-action matters.
Do you need one?
If you’re aiming for polished, consistent content—yes. A show graphics package helps you stay on brand, look more professional, and save your editor time. You can find pre-made templates on sites like Envato or Motion Array (not sponsored), but for content that needs to stand out—or match a specific aesthetic—it’s often worth building something custom.
