In 2018 IFC approached Gretel once again to rebrand their channel after a widely praised rebrand four years prior. As IFC continued to expand their programming, their previous system became too rigid.
We were tasked to create brand new identity system that could provide them with flexibility and highlight the brand’s ‘Always On, Slightly Off’ personality.
Our solution was to spotlight the brand voice—witty, intelligent, and conversational—give it a megaphone, and turn the volume to 11. We created a type-based system that delivered on flexibility (with the enough rigidity for cohesion), and put the heart of the brand center stage.
