Instagram Story Viewer

✨🏄🌍 YouTube’s global rebrand 👀🎥🫶

Once upon a time YouTube was a single, simple product. 20 years later and it’s grown into the world’s largest video platform, with a visual identity that was feeling the strain.

The goal was never to throw everything out and start again, it was to evolve the iconic parts people love, build a cohesive system that actually works, and bring the brand to life for a new era of YouTube.

The mammoth project included creating YouTube’s first motion system (lead by yours truly) to make the brand feel as alive as its content. A spatial, POV-style system that reflects creator content and puts the viewer right in the centre of the action.

Partnering with the legendary @sharptype, we crafted a new display typeface that elevates and celebrates the iconic character of our wordmark. Modern yet classic, and built in nine scripts so it’s ready to go globally.

And what’s storytelling without a little illustration? We partnered with the one and only @gesturesystems to create a library of 300+ bespoke illustrations. Offbeat, alive, and built to live within our 3D motion system.

Introducing a shiny new brand that connects YouTube’s many products through one cohesive system – all moving to the same beat. A system that’s always alive, always iconic, and always unmistakably YouTube.

Partnering with the legendary @sharptype, we crafted a new display typeface that elevates and celebrates the iconic character of our wordmark. Modern yet classic, and built in nine scripts so it’s ready to go globally.

And what’s storytelling without a little illustration? We partnered with the one and only @gesturesystems to create a library of 300+ bespoke illustrations. Offbeat, alive, and built to live within our 3D motion system.

Introducing a shiny new brand that connects YouTube’s many products through one cohesive system – all moving to the same beat. A system that’s always alive, always iconic, and always unmistakably YouTube.

✨🏄🌍 YouTube’s global rebrand 👀🎥🫶

Once upon a time YouTube was a single, simple product. 20 years later and it’s grown into the world’s largest video platform, with a visual identity that was feeling the strain.

The goal was never to throw everything out and start again, it was to evolve the iconic parts people love, build a cohesive system that actually works, and bring the brand to life for a new era of YouTube.

The mammoth project included creating YouTube’s first motion system (lead by yours truly) to make the brand feel as alive as its content. A spatial, POV-style system that reflects creator content and puts the viewer right in the centre of the action.

✨ Introducing the YouTube rebrand ✨

A long time in the making and so exciting to finally share it. A mammoth project tackled by the best team ❤️

YouTube Main, Shorts, Music, Kids, TV, Premium, events all brought together as one living system – lots more to come 👀

Big thanks to @gesturesystem for 300+ illustrations, and to @sharptype for a brand new typeface spanning 9 scripts, ready to go worldwide.

And of course a huge shout out to the team who made it all happen:

☄️👹🏺 New work 🏺👹☄️

Website design and development for linocut artist @sophyhollington . The website is a quietly playful and mysterious space for Sophy’s intricate and symbolic work. Small moments of mystery and discovery are dotted throughout the experience including a clock that displays the current day, moon phase and zodiac, encoded in folkloric symbolism.

A custom font – 𝐴𝑟𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑒 𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑦 – was purposefully created for the website. The font pulls from Sophy’s wealth of typography within her work to create a suite of contextual alternates as well as a custom emoji family.

A collaboration with @ggggssb 🤝

💥 NEW WORK 💥
(Brand identity and website)

The MA Communication Design (MACD) at Falmouth University is a course, research-hub, and working design studio. Its ethos centers around radical provocation, transformation and collaboration within an ever-changing landscape.

The new brand identity is built with variation and exploration at the heart. A vast suite of generative textures provoke curiosity and come to life on the website where the user is able to interact and alter. A texture generator web tool ensures that no two textures will be the same.

The textures are accompanied by a range of increasingly radical wordmarks which push each character to its limits. All of this comes together on the website to create a dynamic, interactive experience which is different each visit.

🌐 Check it out at: macd-falmouth.studio
