OneFootball’s new identity flexes with the rhythm of the game

Football had been put on ice for months while the coronavirus pandemic took hold around the world. But just in time for the lifting of lockdowns, and the restart of leagues, Berlin-based football app OneFootball is unveiling a fresh look developed by Design Studio that aims to capture the spirit of its Gen Z target audience.

Design Studio teamed with insights and straetegy consultancy Crowd DNA to unpack OneFootball’s audience and decipher what their rituals, passions and preferences are.

“[OneFootball] needed a brand that adapted to Generation Z,” explains Vinay Mistry, design director at Design Studio. “Generation Z is a generation of contrasts: they’re constantly adapting, they’re constantly changing, and football’s actually very similar. The rhythm of the game changes constantly as well. It made us think, actually there’s some lovely synergy there – can we define a personality for OneFootball that represents that?”

OneFootball’s old logo

At the core of the project was the creation of a new logo. While researching the existing logo, the design team noticed its resemblance to the pictograms developed for the 1972 Olympic Games held in Munich, and also felt it was too similar to WhatsApp’s logo.

However, the team didn’t scrap the old logo altogether. Instead, they broke it down to its key parts – legs and football – and repurposed these elements into a new graphic forming a number one and a football in reference to the brand name. The new design is immediately more contemporary, partly because it does away with the gendered implications of the old logo.

The visual language and tone of voice has been constructed around the concept of a ‘vibesmith’, someone who knows how to hype a crowd. “This ‘vibesmith’ – OneFootball – they’re the people that understand the mood. They set the tone, and they generate the buzz before the game, after the game, during the game,” Mistry explains.

The team aimed to create an identity that was adaptable, and could be used to transmit big events, such as goals or transfer news, but also convey quieter moments. Key to this was the development of a generator that produces bespoke visuals, created by Design Studio and interactive studio Artificial Rome.

The generator takes inputs – a logo, pattern, photograph or type – that can be transformed by rotating, multiplying or changing the colour. The resulting visual can then be enhanced by altering the character and animation style based on a sliding scale, or “hype dial”, that goes from Fracture, Neutral to Flux.

“Fracture gets a bit more edgy, it’s a bit more tense, it’s a bit more nail-biting. Neutral’s obviously the super calm, it is what it is. And then Flux is a bit more wavy, it’s a bit more celebratory, it has more flow to it,” explains Mistry.

“This generator actually creates every single visual that you see in OneFootball,” he adds, “so every single pattern that you have, the typography, when it starts to move around or glitch, it’s all coming from that one generator.” The tool immediately expands OneFootball’s visual language, with an outcome that feels truly dynamic with little effort.

The redesign is launching to coincide with the return of leagues in Europe, something fans around the world have been eagerly awaiting for months. While the Premier League and its counterparts have kicked off again, the impact of Covid-19 is still felt, namely in the empty stadiums and artificial crowd sounds. The situation isn’t lost on OneFootball either, which has adjusted its new merchandise range accordingly. “A few weeks ago they actually sent me a OneFootball face mask,” Mistry says. “It’s moved on from tote bags to face masks!”

The 18 Best Things to See and Do in Oslo

Image
Posted : 6/26/2020 | June 26th, 2020 Balancing natural beauty, historic architecture, and a modern flair, Oslo , Norway’s beautiful capital, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s small but bursting with things to do: there are countless museums, spacious parks, and delicious restaurants to keep you busy. It’s close to numerous forests with hiking and biking trails, and there are lots of places to swim in the summer too. However, since it’s expensive, a lot of travelers pass Oslo by. While a visit will certainly eat into your budget, Oslo is definitely worth a couple of days. To help show precisely why you should add it to your itinerary, here are my favorite things to see and do in Oslo:   1. Take a Free Walking Tour I always start my trips off with a free walking tour. They’re a budget-friendly way to see the main sights, learn a little history, meet other travelers, and get access to an expert local guide who can answer all my questions. Free Tour Oslo organ...

Practical Action rebrands to show “how small actions can change the big picture”

Image
NB Studio has created a new identity for Practical Action, a UK development organisation. Practical Action was established in 1966 with the aim of creating appropriate technologies for developing regions of the world. It works primarily in Eastern and Southern Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It was founded by economist and philosopher Fritz Schumacher whose book, Small is Beautiful, champions the concept that small changes can empower people more than big ones. Practical Action’s aim is to provide sustainable technologies – systems that countries can accommodate with their existing resources – instead of providing large-scale aid that cannot be easily sustained. The charity was originally called Intermediate Technology Development Group but was changed to Practical Action in 2005. “Ingenuity People” Nick Finney, founder and creative director at NB Studio, says that the brand update aims to clarify the charity’s function. One of the problems with its previous names, Finne...

The legacy of Life magazine’s images celebrated in new show

Image
When Life magazine was re-launched by magazine magnate Henry Luce in 1936, the idea was to put photojournalism at the forefront and publish only photography-led stories. Readers soon became accustomed to seeing images from around the world that gave them the kind of first-hand insight they’d never previously had. At one point it was selling 13.8 million copies a week, and in its lifetime the magazine commissioned more than 120,000 stories and 10 million photographs. Life was published up until 2000, and to celebrate the contributions the magazine made to documentary photography and photojournalism, Atlas Gallery in London is exhibiting a selection of some of the magazine’s most iconic and influential photographs.
