Discovery Channel
Rebrand for UK & EMEA / On + Off Air
Part of the challenge on air was to create a package without conventional idents that inhibit flow. As part of the core concept we originated, 'Discovery Journey' we created a programme leader system that counted down to the next programme, helping to bring Discovery's content to the fore.
A simple modular 'patch' system was our solution to a separate brief for an off air communications system,
echoing the structured on air design.
