Transforming the national youth channel of Dutch public television into a 360 brand

To help NPO3 stand out as a brand in a changing and challenging media landscape, we put the emphasis on cross-platfrom visibility, and navigation to on-demand content. 

In this landscape the NPO is publicly funded by taxpayers. Keeping this in mind I created a clean, functional and no fuss identity, that builds on the Dutch Design tratition. For this rebrand I was invited by Woodwork to join them as design lead.

A strong focus on cross-platform visibility and navigation, that connects and interacts with the target audience.

This stategy dictated the Visual Identity at all levels and touchpoints. 

As the NPO3 programming is provided by various public broadcasters, a tool to visually claim the content across platforms was developed to increase visibility —and thus strengthen the NPO3 brand.

The literal green NPO3 frame helps the viewer to easily identify —and navigate to their favorite content on all devices.

The NPO3 primary brand colour was updated to a fresh rgb version — to work better on mobile devices. Two extra brand colours were introduced to create clarity. Green is for brand messages, blue for tv navigation, while magenta is used to promote online content.
