In anticipation of Season 3 of American Idol, ABC tapped design and motion-graphic house The New Blank to evolve the graphics package they created for Season 1. The order of the day was a flexible and engaging design to carry the promotional marketing for the king of broadcast talent experiences.
Spectacle and event were predominant themes carried throughout the rebrand with a 3D photo-real strobing light tube effect.
“The New Blank was able to evolve and elevate our American Idol graphics package for our Season 3 marketing of the show,” comments ABC’s Lucas Aragon. ” It was a pleasure to work with them again on this project which they designed back in Season 1 for ABC.”
