Messenger Kids Rebrand
Meta (nee Facebook) came to
BUCK to do a branding refresh on their messaging platform built for kids.
Initially brought on as a designer, I had two design directions chosen as part of the first round of explorations. Once a final direction was chosen, I took over as Art Director to get my hands dirty and lead the art team in creating the whole branding package — from icons to animations, styleguide, app layouts, and the website reskin.
Keep scrolling to see some process designs, and check out both the Messenger Kids site and app to see the final look!
STYLE EXPLORATION
Below are some of my scraps from the original style exploration phase. The challenge was finding a style that could appeal to young kids and tweens alike, while still gaining the respect of the parents and guardians looking out for their online safety.
CONCEPT 1: RECESS
CONCEPT 2: PUFFY
