Spotify New Brand Expression Illustrations

2024

In collaboration with Spotify’s In-House Creative Team, we developed a fluid collection of illustrations that embraces a variety of artistic styles while staying true to Spotify's identity.

We began with an extensive exploration phase, allowing artists to experiment with their individual illustration styles.

Together we created 40 illustrations, each representing a different stylistic perspective.

The Approach

-> Flexible Style

Embrace diverse artistic styles to capture a dynamic brand attitude.

-> Make It Musical

Incorporate subtle music-related visuals without being overly literal or cliché.

-> Spotify Anchor Colors

Root our otherwise broad color system in Spotify brand colors.

-> Flat Graphic Style

Use a flat-to-camera style for clarity, ensuring illustrations remain impactful and unified across 2D and 3D formats.
