Tell the jury about the art direction.

BBC Two commissions more original programmes than any other terrestrial broadcaster. But when the content is so diverse, leaping from cookery, to science, to current affairs, to drama – the big question was how to create a single-minded idea. Working with the channel, we found the answer – BBC Two’s content is there to make you feel something, to get a reaction. It’s television that stimulates – emotions, thoughts, conversation. Whether that’s a hard-hitting documentary, a raucous comedy or a mind-blowing science programme. So rather than focusing on the organisation itself, we focused on its content and, from there, developed the creative idea: ‘Never Not Stimulating’. We then brought it to life in a visual identity that reflects the breadth of emotions you feel when watching BBC Two. A series of animations are matched to the mood, not the genre, of the programmes – like ‘intense’, ‘visceral’, ‘offbeat’ and ‘revelatory’.
