Starz | Main ID (Director's Cut)

Starz | Rebrand 

Production Company : yU+co
Lead Design & Direction : Emrah Gonulkirmaz
Lead Compositing & Direction : Mert Kizilay
Sound Design : ECHOLAB

I've teamed up with yU+co to design & create a visual language for the brand Starz network, which infuses the entire landscape of Starz platforms with their new tagline, "Taking you Places"

Conceptually I've decided to go with Organic and solid, sculptural forms which were fluid in motion. Overall approach was same for the brand package, but the forms and motion constitute the distinction between the main and sub channel / program ids.

Above credits are specific to Director's cut versions, Over all branding package was done with team at yU+co which had expanded in daily bases through out the project time.
It was great working with lots of talented designers & artists with all their great interpretation.
I'll try to release full list of credits if i can get the names together.

The Creative Spark: James White, Visual Artist and Designer

Designer James White spent a decade working for other agencies before he founded Signalnoise, a one-man design studio in Nova Scotia. He was determined to explore his own aesthetic: "Fascination, wonder, and imagination made visual."

The move was creatively productive and financially lucrative. But when he decided to dedicate a year to his passion project—taking his own bright, pop approach to iconic movie posters like Jaws and Indiana Jones—he ran into licensing roadblocks.

In this Creative Spark, James explains how he dealt with the setbacks and found new opportunities for Signalnoise.

IN THE UNDERGROWTH

I was immediately impressed how beautiful nature can be, when viewed from a different angle.
For the video, I looked for the song "walk" from Ludovico Einaudi which goes well with the mood of the video.
