TV1 Rebrand
September 2003 ––While serving as design director at Engine Design Sydney, munkowitz co-designed ( w/ DF1 + Finnegan the great ) and animated these whimsical idents for TV1 networks. The concept was to give personality to the characteristic rounded square that TV1 used extensively in their branding, creating a language that could be versioned out quickly for subsequent IDs. Take all that and composite it all into a lens flare extravaganza and a network branding package is born.
