Brand Launch

In the months leading up to the launch of Disney+, we worked closely with Disney’s marketing teams to develop a flexible design system that could connect five beloved entertainment brands.

We established a dynamic visual thread inspired by the warm, hand-drawn curves of the original Disney wordmark—calling to mind the craft, artistry, and innovative animation techniques central to Disney’s legacy.

We built the system to function in both brand-forward and IP-driven messaging, multi-title and single-title marketing, and every digital and physical surface. We delivered a comprehensive style guide and animation toolkits, supporting implementation for all internal teams and agency partners.

Global Evolution

As Disney+ expanded into new markets, its portfolio expanded with fresh originals and acquired content beyond the Disney family of brands.

Disney became one of the most enduring brands in the world by fulfilling a simple yet profound promise: “Create happiness.” Disney+ took this promise further by foregrounding, exploring, and activating the entire spectrum of shared human emotions made possible through storytelling.

By inviting our audience to “feel something with every story on Disney+,” the evolved brand promise leverages Disney’s long-established values of imagination, community, trust, and transformation to activate a broader range of entertainment. It brings audiences closer to the worlds built, the characters championed, the stories shared, and to each other.
