Project information
We have created a new brand experience for TV 2. The challenger that has grown to become Norways leading commercial broadcaster, and is one of the country’s strongest and most recognizable brands. TV 2 broadcast live sports, news and entertainment, including distribution of movies and series through both linear and streaming services.
A growing number of sub-brands, and a toolbox not developed for digital channels had led to a fragmented identity. Our task was to strengthen the TV 2 brand. In close collaboration with the TV 2 team we positioned them as one common brand for all entertainment services, and modernized the visual profile for today’s and tomorrow’s platforms, making the consumers more willing to choose TV 2 when it comes to watch and stream TV.
Norway is a complex nation, and TV 2 is the melting pot that unites and includes the Norwegian people. By uniting content, seeing each story from several perspectives, TV 2 gives Norway the stories that brings us together. The identity reflects how TV 2 unites and balances these stories. Inspired by the name the concept plays on 2 contrasts, 2 shapes and 2 sides. The logo is created as a unifier that bring these 2 worlds together into new experiences.

Project summary
A unifying brand experience for TV 2, the challenger that has grown to become Norways leading commercial broadcaster and one of the country’s strongest and most recognizable brands.




A full custom typeface has been created for TV 2 built upon the combination of sharp and soft corners. The typeface is both functional and distinct, and is used throughout all applications and communication.




"Our new brand identity is adapted to the habits and preferences of modern audiences, and embraces the breadth of today's TV 2. In close collaboration with Bold we have created a unified brand experience for TV 2.”
Our 2 contrasting perspectives helps us distinguish between interaction and states, this is where the design meets function and responds to user input.

The sound of our main vignette follows a two-step rhythm: the first step sets the harmonic tone of TV 2, and the second resolves it with our hero sound. This hero sound can be adapted for idents, vignettes, and promotions, either standalone or integrated into other productions, serving as a clear audio signature for TV 2 across all platforms.


Together with CATK we created a series of idents, which focuses on the combination of 2 different perspectives, translating into something new and unique. With a strong need to communicate to TV 2s diverse audience. We created abstract and diverse idents that mixes different content and styles. Every ident is packed with emotion and tells a unifying story in five short seconds.
