When we were asked to brand Rewind TV for its launch, we pumped up our Reeboks, teased our hair, and strapped on our swatches, because we had one month to get this totally tubular network ready for its neon debut. We worked closely with Nexstar Media Group to develop an entire brand network package for their newest offering, Rewind TV. The new over-the-air network provides viewers with a lineup of beloved shows from the 80s and 90s. Check out the full case study here: https://www.thisiselevation.com/rewind-tv

We were tasked with crafting new branding and identity that brings the excitement and attitude of Buffalo Wild Wings to their in-bar network, OT. Buffalo Wild Wings had recently revamped its main branding, refining its messaging, colors, and iconography in the process. We worked with them to develop a network package that fit their recent rebrand, supported new content pillars such as sports betting and esports, and created an immersive and social experience inside their restaurants. Through bold and playful design, OT is loud and in your face, even without being able to rely on sound. Read the full case study here: https://www.thisiselevation.com/buffalo-wild-wings-ot-rebrand

Originally branded by Elevation in 2014, Elevation refreshed the network to match the new direction of programming. With true crime and federal agency case files, the network needed a grittier, more organic approach to the brand. Strong, high contrast imagery with a sense of mystery. The key to the brand is the Escape logo, treated in 3D and 2D, integrated into live action and informational graphics.

In what only feels like a few brief moments... now an entire year now has come between that dreadful thing called 2020. While it certainly hasn't been easy, digging out of the ditches has provided some incredible experiences and memories. Here is a brief look back at some of those powerful stories and beautiful pictures created by our studio in 2021. That's a wonderful attribute of being artists... our unique ability to squelch negativity & pessimism... and optimistically focus our energy and our output on creating & making new things. We're so grateful for the continued opportunity to pursue our callings and dreams - in such a crazy world. Thank you to all of our partners, clients & collaborators for your continued trust, talents and time. Much Love, Evolve
