AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS First season BRANDING
ABC tapped us to develop a modern feeling brand package that appealed to a more youthful market audience than their network demographic. Despite the AMA logo being long in we found inspiration in the colors and built The American Music Awards package to suit. Simple yet sophisticated, we created this first season branding package complete with script automated typography for this gem of a package.

The Process
Our process is design-centric, so at times we need to develop technology to make the deliverables work with the design. Creating a modern, young brand expression for our first season of American Music Awards also involved developing a custom, script driven, animated typeface. So we tinkered up a slick little UI to help the ABC in-house marketing team custom build all the different deliverables in the entire brand package.

The New Blank was able to take media from many sources and make it all feel like one beautiful graphics package! They had to work with music video footage shot in different ways and from different sources. The package they delivered was modular and versatile while keeping a high production look and feel to it.
It’s one of my favorite graphics packages in recent years!
