INVESTIGATION NIGHT
Investigation Night is a documentary block on Vice TV that shines a light on never-before-seen sides of true crime stories and the people behind them.
Developing a visual language inspired by the process of sifting through evidence, an analog type treatment and library of gestural marks feel at home amongst investigative ephemera.
A versatile image treatment accomodates content from a wide variety of sources, and creates a consistent look across a suite of assets.
90s MONTH
To support the return of Dark Side of the 90s to VICE TV we decided to brand the month of June as '90s MONTH. That meant replacing all the channel graphics package and creating many new assets like Interstitial, bumpers, snipes, bugs, logo IDs and much more. We wanted to make it feel authentic in any way and to create it as it was created in the '90s. That meant doing stuff practical and avoiding CG.
We went on ebay and thrift shops to look for working devices from the '90s. For the main branding we created stop motion paper collages taking inspiration grunge, MTV, early desktop screensavers and more
