Dervla O’Shea from London-based DixonBaxi got in touch to share the agency’s work on Freeview’s new logo and identity.

“The new logo retains the red heritage of the brand, but has been completely redesigned with added dimension — an angular form that suggests agility, choice and a sense of fun. Its vibrant colour has a lightness of spirit and innate sense of energy, yet feels human and engaging.”
The rebrand is to coincide with a new service — Freeview Play — which will bring catch-up TV to the current offering.
The palette is particularly nice on black.
