Project Overview
Founded in 2007, Ludia is a video game development studio that evolved rapidly – perhaps a little too rapidly – for the industry. In 2011, the studio took the bold step to focus exclusively on mobile gaming. As one of the first companies of its kind, it has long been held back by the perception that the mobile platform offers second-rate entertainment and struggles to fully express its ambitions and cred. It was time for Ludia to align its brand identity with its actual image, both in substance and style.
Today mobile video gaming is the world’s number one entertainment segment among all media. This leading position needed to be felt in Ludia’s brand identity, the proud voice with which it speaks to its people and its ability to attract future generations of artists, game designers and developers. LG2 set to work to understand, listen to and support Ludia in transforming its brand image and experience.
Details
The completely new Ludia identity is a result of a more assertive direction fed by a brand strategy that rallies both management, and especially, employees. A more confident, vibrant and audacious brand that reflects the new face of mobile gaming and an exciting future that is now in play.
For the brand image, the rules of the game were simple: avoid industry clichés and go deep. The results can be seen, for example, in the logo’s shape that thoughtfully mimics the shape of a smartphone. The colours chosen suggest the glow of those from a mobile screen. Unified through a backlit effect, several brand elements play host to a dance between light and shadow.
The work quickly extended to the employee experience through a revamp and reorganization of the workspaces undertaken by the LG2 Architecture team, in the midst of a pandemic and resulting uncertainties. The brand was brought to life in a tangible way for the people who benefit from it the most: Ludia’s talents.
