The Campaign
“INSPIRED BY DIGITAL, COLORED BY CLUBS”
We wanted to achieve simple, bold and smart graphics. Simple so to be very functional, bold to transmit strength and power and finally smart because everything is well thought as in color and animations.
In design, we used a grid module based on the size and shape of the new Bundesliga Logo. This shape repeated left, right, up and down will give us a uniform grid with lots of modules. Also, we created “cards”, layered elements on top of each other that when one of these cards peels away, it reveals what comes next to it. In motion, we created a system that these cards will always move from left to right or right to left, never random or up and down.
We restricted the movements of the elements in two main variables that remit to human contact with technology, pinch, and swipe.
Creative Execution
For the season 2017-18, we have refreshed the overall Bundesliga Brand Design experience.

.DFL to Modernize Bundesliga’s Logo; Openers and Digital Graphics
In connection with a brand refresh for Bundesliga, DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga has updated the Bundesliga logo, the TV opener and the graphics to bring them into line with the digital era. The primary focus is on "digital first" and a flat design. The new logos have been specially designed for optimised use across all digital channels from social networks to TV screens.
For this purpose, the Bundesliga player seen in the current logo has been reinterpreted. Whereas this player and the logo itself had a 3D look, the flat-design logo now comes in a 2D design. In the new DFL logo, the player is no longer featured in the familiar red-field logo. The logo forms part of the completely revised corporate identify kit, which for the first time also includes a proprietary Bundesliga typography and a distinct logo for Bundesliga
