Moving Brands’ recent identity work for the BBC included an appropriately animated wordmark for BBC Newsbeat, the national broadcaster’s news service aimed at 16-24yr olds.
“The wordmark is designed to react to the beat; when a user hits pre-programmed points within the site, a beat sequence animation is triggered in the mark. The grid system is built to replicate a simple music time signature — all elements of the grid are divisible by four, with content landing on or off the beat.”
A slick video (below) introduces the work, set to a particularly tasty Vince Clarke remix of Future Islands’ Doves.
The project ran from October to December in 2014, with the identity first launched as part of Newsbeat’s election coverage in April 2015.
