A FRESH NEW LOGO

development of the entire brand package all began with the logo: a fun, friendly evolution of the previous mark. Bold, simple, and ready to move, the new Universal Kids logo then inspired the entire visual language of the brand — filled with playful rounded shapes and patterns.

A NARROW PALETTE

The brand palette is extremely controlled. color choices have been made both in respect to the brand attributes, as well as creating competitive distinction. The primary palette of teal, yellow, and white pairs with the network’s preschool programming. A more mature palette for 6+ programming incorporates darker shades of teal and yellow as well as dark blue and cyan.

a CUSTOM AFTER EFFECTS TOOLKIT

FOR EVERY TOOLKIT WE CREATE, WE OFFER A CUSTOM INTERFACE THAT WORKS LIKE AN “APP” INSIDE AFTER EFFECTS (AE). EACH IS INDIVIDUALLY CRAFTED WITH FUNCTIONALITY THAT BEST FITS THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT AND FEATURES AN INTUITIVE USER INTERFACE. THESE ARE CREATED WITH CODE AND PROGRAMMED DIRECTLY INTO THE BACK-END OF AE. OUR TOOLKITS ARE MUCH EASIER TO USE THAN STANDARD AE TOOLKITS AND BEST OF ALL, YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO KNOW AE TO USE THEM!
