ONESZIE | YU+CO : G4 REDESIGN

Onesize and yU+Co teamed up to deliver this very unique G4 redesign. Roger Hendriks: “We wanted to create a look that would encapsulate all of the network’s components into one iconic image, while at the same time give them everything they needed to create their own specialized short animations within the framework of our design … Basically the redesign is a big toolkit consisting of about 300 different animation sequences.”

While it’s unusual for two design companies who might normally compete against each other to collaborate so closely, for Garson Yu,this is the future for the global minded design studio.
