TV Land

Network Rebrand


Role – Motion Director


Studio – Gretel



Just Good TV

TV Land is the home of television’s all-time hits and modern classics. As a network it brings together some of our most favorite storylines and characters. Our challenge was to bring back the old TV Land attitude through a modern lens. The underlying theme of the rebrand was ‘All in the mix’; a fun and inclusive system that is in-the-know for tv fans. The treatment is inspired by offset printing, where assets are overlayed and combined creating richer visuals.


Motion Language


Four core principles were developed to support the theme of ‘All in the mix’ – where imagery, footage and messaging came together as a digital collage, representing the depth of content on TV Land.


Activation: All type and imagery cuts on.
Nothing ever transforms in opacity,
elements are always physical.

Stagger: Elements are delayed in choreography.

Punctuation: Emphasis is added through
scale and inverting the color palette for contrast.

Offset: Elements nudge and lock into place.
Characters & props physically shift off-register.
