In response to an extremely open brief from Swedish broadcaster Kanal 5, ManvsMachine worked in collaboration with the fine folk at Proud Creative to conceive & create a visually rich and quirky spot, suited to the channel’s eclectic entertainment output. The brief was simply to create an ident that referenced nature in some way. We took inspiration from geography text book style illustrations to develop a surreal 3D world based around the logo, threw in a few oversize animals... and bingo.

A series of bespoke graphic animations to form a nomination package for the prestigious British Fashion Awards ceremony. The live event was held at London's Royal Courts of Justice – inspiring a very British eccentric & architectural approach. All elements were designed specifically for use with Musion Eyeliner 3D holographic projection system, allowing a spectacular 3-dimensional moving life-size hologram to appear within a live stage setting.
