The absence of an integrated visual system became the reason many users were not aware on what resources they were watching a movie. Usually people in Russia search for movies by typing their name directly in the search engine, and after clicking the link they immediately receive the video player window. In this case people don’t go through ivi.ru website and don't contact its identity. The new visual system is to solve this problem and connect high-quality videos and ivi.ru brand in their minds.

A large number of channels used by ivi.ru (web, mobile, apps, smart-TV, video games) and a huge flow of external communications, including co-branding, required flexible and systematic approach to the development of corporate identity.

The main task was to create a new brand identity system that would allocate the online video streaming service among its competitors, improve brand retention, be easily adapted to different media and work in all media channels — from print advertising to interactive online projects.

A graphics solution based on a well-recognized attribute of the filmdom — lens video camera. At the present time many people associate the image of the lens aperture with the cinema. This simple image was transformed into flexible graphical concept that became the key element in the new identity of ivi.ru. The brand logo remains unchanged, but now it got triangle shape and from now on, it is always used with pink background.

Familiar to all ivi.ru users bright pink color has been saved as a major one. It was a crucial moment, because the users unmistakably associated this color with ivi.ru platform. But the brand can’t exist in one color, that is why bright pink became the «shell» several internal layers were added. From plain and in-line ivi became dimensional and multi-faceted.

Alexandr Zagorsky, Depot creative director: «Motion-branding tool becomes relevant when the digital environment dictates its own new rules of visual system construction — motion, flexibility, game. We can say that the active consumption of video content both on the Internet and pay TV channels gives a powerful impulse for the development of corporate branding: new and interesting solutions appeared and their implementation could not be possible in a static «analog» environment. Earlier this kind of branding was developed in TV-ads: simple animated cutaways between the movies and programs. Today branding is also embedded in the body of the movies without upsetting the viewrs’ sence. At any time the viewer needs to understand that he is watching a movie on our platform.»
