APPROACH
The solution was to create an identity system that was bold and dynamic using bright eye catching colors and a simplistic iconic trademark. Color blocking on the motion graphics and navigation system uses the intense colors in way that does not distract from the content, allowing the characters to really speak for themselves. In researching the users, it was discovered that users were more likely to start a television show or movie if someone they trusted recommended it to them. Adding your friends is a feature that was added that allows the users to browse through what their friends and family are currently loving and watching. Curated collections were created for specific profiles and are updated constantly to give users suggested content that is personalized to them.
