The brief.

The problem. An esports broadcaster was buying generic stinger packs off the shelf. The broadcast looked like every other lower-tier league — and the talent kept noticing.

The solution. A custom lightning-strike animation language built around the brand's amber-on-ink palette. One master rig drives match openers, team reveals, kill cams, and bumper transitions.

"Our talent stopped pointing out the stingers. That's how I know the brand finally works."- Karan D., Broadcast Director
How it came together

The process.

Three phases. No hand-waving. Here is how the work actually got made.

Step 01

Discover

Deep-dive sessions, audience research, and a clear-eyed audit of what was working and what was not.

Step 02

Concept

Multiple directions explored in parallel - typography, palette, mark variations - then narrowed to one.

Step 03

Build

Production-grade systems, asset libraries, and the toolkit the in-house team uses every day after launch.
