Cooking Channel Rebrand

Our focus was on what makes cooking special. We wanted to visually recreate the smells, tastes, and textures of food and give our viewers a reason to connect.

With some extensive research and a firm grasp on our message, we had our ingredients. The brand would no longer be a frame for content, but an expression of experience. We wanted to design a flexible and multi-faceted system that would be rich, vibrant, organic, expressive, and most of all, celebratory.

What better way to mesh the cooking experience and the brand elements than through beautiful footage of high-speed food falling and interacting with the logo, the talent, and everything in between?

We had found our language.

Next, we gathered together all of our materials and threw our creatives into the mix. Our best designers, producers, researchers, animators, and our trusted editor all stepped up and worked hard to create a look and feel that would sing life into the brand.

Once production took off, it saw nearly all of the seasons — winter, spring, summer, and a taste of fall. We began by establishing the new typeset, as well as building flexible color palettes and the architecture of the layouts. Ultimately, we wanted our designs and animations to behave and translate well across all platforms — broadcast, social media, and digital.

The new package launched in September, at which point Cooking Channel and our work was broadcasted internationally, across the U.S. and Canada.

Thanks again to Cooking Channel for the opportunity to create something versatile, unique and full of personality. We would do it all again in a heartbeat.
