That can either be done on the fly or prepaired beforehand. The flashing logos during transitions are prepared beforehand, then stuck in and used on the fly...the scores and the names the appear are mixed between being done on the fly and prepaired a little beforehand.

I used to do live basketball game broadcasts, and while we weren't that high tech as it usually is in NBA broadcasts, we still did some interesting things on the fly.
