THE RENEWED IDENTITY / PACKAGING APPLICATION MOCKUP
01 / THE BRIEF

ONE STUDIO
MANY STORIES

Known through its web dramas and music channels, Playlist was growing into a broader content studio. It needed a shared identity and a corporate home for its businesses and IP.

The goal: make the studio’s story coherent across brand and website. I led the renewal from stakeholder research and brand foundations through creative direction, then managed the corporate website build.

The work gave teams a consistent identity system and brought company, content and recruitment information into one digital destination.

A POINT OF VIEW
BEFORE A LOOK

I interviewed founding members, gathered needs across business teams, developed the mission, vision, values and slogan, and selected the design partner. That shared foundation guided the renewed brand architecture.

03 / THE RENEWED IDENTITYPLAYLIST

FAMILIAR AT HEART
READY TO GROW

The renewed symbol combined a P with a speech bubble, carrying forward a link to the earlier identity. Colour, shape and expressive graphics made the system flexible across different content brands.
