Sesame Workshop

Brand Identity

Building on visual cues from the iconic Sesame Street brand, we created a more modern, functional identity system that reflects the global nonprofit organization’s mission to help kids everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder.

Role

Chief Creative Officer

Year

2018-2022

Following our logo redesign in 2018, we were invited back to establish a comprehensive visual and motion identity system to unify every touchpoint around the world.

Sesame Workshop is an internationally recognized creative force that builds new streets, avenues, and intersections at the forefront of education by partnering with organizations, companies, and individuals who share its values. We created a modern look and feel that works seamlessly alongside all of the brands that Sesame Workshop touches around the world.

Community, collaboration, and organic bonds inspire our motion language—unifying a global network of partnerships within a single system. In all animation, the lines extend from opposite sides of the screen and overlap to signal cross-collaboration. Vibrant colorways represent the nonprofit’s bold, visionary approach to education and philanthropy.
