ESPN

For over three decades, ESPN hasn’t simply broadcast sport. It has shaped how sport is felt, argued over, celebrated, and remembered. But culture moved on. Fans wanted more than coverage. They wanted emotion, personality, friction, joy. The challenge was not to reinvent ESPN, but to reignite its original energy and translate its authority into a living, contemporary system built for a new era of fandom.

Modern fans don’t experience sport as a schedule of games. They experience it through heroes and villains, rivalry and debate, heartbreak and elation. Competitors spoke about fans, but failed to reflect how fans actually feel. ESPN had the rare opportunity to do what no one else could: express the full emotional spectrum of sport. as the cultural home where fandom lives, breathes, and collides.

The answer was to rebuild ESPN around the fan experience itself. Not the schedule, but the surge. Not coverage, but culture. Working in close collaboration with ESPN’s brand team, we unlocked the network’s sporting DNA and reframed it through emotion, immediacy, and personality. ESPN doesn’t just report on sport, it shapes how it’s felt. The brand became a living system designed to move at the speed of fandom.

Sport doesn’t stop at the final whistle. It spills into cookouts and sports bars, tailgates and living rooms. It’s in logos shaved into hair, jerseys worn like armour, arguments that last all week. ESPN lives in those rituals as much as the games themselves. The brand was designed to travel from the court, pitch, and field into real life, showing up wherever fandom is felt, shared, and performed.

This is a system designed for live moments and cultural momentum. The four letters stretch, compress, interrupt, and dominate, carrying authority without losing feeling. Heritage red delivers instant attribution. Typography does the talking. Stickers bring opinion, locality, and voice. Together, they transform live moments into shared cultural signals, giving ESPN a presence that reacts, responds, and travels wherever sport shows up.

The result is ESPN as a cultural engine. 
A unified LIVING BRAND where watching, playing, debating, and storytelling coexist seamlessly. Premium yet accessible. Expressive yet disciplined. The brand now amplifies joy, embraces nuance, and captures the emotional highs and lows that define sport. ESPN doesn’t just reflect culture, it fuels it, creating a system only ESPN could own and a future that’s bigger than the game itself.
