Kanal 2
In this project, we were commissioned to produce a lot of different graphic elements and documents for various fictional organizations and companies that the series revolves around. A big part of it was creating the graphic profile of the television channel Kanal 2. With inspiration from SVT and Norwegian TV2, we developed a logo and a profile that plays on reflections and shards.
Kanal 2 logo in action
A major focus in creating the channel's visual identity was on close-ups of different people — the people behind the stories and news reports presented by Kanal 2 News. These individuals represent a diversity of experiences, perspectives and encounters. With a special focus on the expression of the eyes and the texture of the skin, we integrated elements from the split logo design, where the light and image are refracted as if through shards of glass. These images and animations recurred repeatedly during the series, in scenes set in the channel's offices and it's various recording studios.
In addition to Kanal 2 and everything that came with that, we also had the assignment to create a number of other graphic elements. For example, two other companies that play central roles in the series: energy company Svea GasCo and private military security company Northern Canopy. For these, we created several different emails, documents, certificates as well as a website design and logo.
We also produced various screen animations with custom and designed websites, Google searches, images and computer softwares.
