AMERICAN IDOL REBRAND
We created a fresh, new look for the American Idol move to ABC, separating the venerable talent show from all the rest in the market. With new hosts, a new network, and countless updates happening within the show we felt it apropos to inject some of the excitement and energy into their branding. We developed a package that transcends broadcast and impacts multiple channels including out of home, digital, and print.

The Process
Over 1 million particles gave their life to make this package possible. We developed a system that worked for broadcast but could scale for high res large format print executions as well, not to mention developing assets for digital banners and living one-sheets. All of the pieces and parts had to be created with systems capable of maximum flexibility so art could be leveraged as much as possible across the various channels and platforms.
