STRATEGIC THINKING
Rather than dramatically altering Netflix’s established brand, the refresh focused on strengthening communal engagement within the platform.
The concept introduced features centered around shared viewing experiences and interactive elements, positioning Netflix not only as a content provider but as a facilitator of connection.
Visually, the refresh preserved Netflix’s bold identity while refining typography, layout hierarchy, and interface clarity to support a more immersive and socially integrated experience.
SYSTEM / EXECUTION CONTEXT
The refreshed identity system was designed to function cohesively across digital interfaces, advertising, and environmental placements.
UI updates were structured within realistic streaming constraints, ensuring scalability across TV app interfaces and mobile experiences while maintaining brand consistency.
FULL-FUNNEL APPLICATION
The refresh was applied across multiple touchpoints, including:
• Logo Refinement & Brand System Exploration
• User Personas & Research Documentation
• TV App UI Redesign (Figma Prototype)
• Mobile App UI Concepts
• TV App Open Ad
• Social Media Campaign Ads
• OOH Poster Series
• Billboard Applications
• Conceptual Packaging
PRODUCTION & REAL-WORLD CONSIDERATIONS
UI prototypes were developed in Figma using structured components and scalable layouts to simulate platform realism. Advertising layouts accounted for readability across digital screens and large-format outdoor placements while maintaining consistent brand tone.
IMPACT & OUTCOME
This project demonstrates the ability to conduct research-driven brand analysis and translate insights into cohesive visual, UX, and campaign solutions. It highlights strengths in brand evolution, interface design, and extending a refreshed identity across digital and physical environments.
