Viasat World: The Story of Europe

Viasat World promotes the series 'The Story of Europe' with unusual posters. They depict two contrasting themes with the bust of a famous personality: From science and beauty in Michelangelo’s David to empire and tragedy in the exploding bust of Emperor Franz Ferdinand. Viasat brought these ideas together in a reference to Kintsugi  – the ancient Japanese art of ceramic repair. Striking, thought-provoking and modern!

Studio Bode: ProSieben – Late Night Berlin

The challenge was to create something new that was simultaneously tailored to a single person –the presenter. The result is authentic opening credits without graphics, animations or 3D. Klaas Heufer-Umlauf dances through a very reduced environment – over a bridge, down a staircase and finally arrives where the real action takes place: in the studio of 'Late Night Berlin'. Perfect introduction to the format!

A ball starts rolling and triggers a chain reaction that can't be stopped: that's exactly why the opening credits of 'It was written' fit the bill.

Studio Bode: ProSieben – Late Night Berlin

Nature was the model for the studio of the talk show 'Late Night Berlin'. Warm wood tones, a completely digital desk and parametric shapes set the tone. A special feature is the constantly changing light, which becomes darker and darker in the course of the show – hardly noticeable, but subconsciously perceptible. Thus, the Late Night Talk guides the viewer into a peaceful night. A loving concept, implemented to match the format!

The task: to strategically review the London Symphony Orchestra's brand communications in light of Sir Simon Rattle's appointment as Music Director. It was important to communicate the heritage and long-standing reputation of the LSO as a courageous and progressive company. The result: high-end motion capture technology made Sir Simon Rattle the heart of the brand.
