RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Considering the brief behind the logo which was to attract younger, mostly male audience, research was based on that. The television program is mostly male-oriented, which led to this particular color choice. The sphere, taken from the variety of nature's perfectly created shapes, was chosen to meet different graphic demands of a program mostly associated with sports, movies and TV series. Having in mind all of these needs and all future requirements it was important to make the final design to be easily transformed in a recognizable way.
CHALLENGE: Fusing the name into the design in a most efficient and creative way become a challenge with an inspiration. It was, on one side very hard to fulfill the desires and expectations of local market and on the other side to step forward and stand out from the competition. The decision was to follow our believes and go beyond standards that already existed on media market.
