Ruckus Films LA

- Branding & Motion-


I’ve had the pleasure of working with LA based Ruckus Films on a couple of occasions, helping them to develop their visual brand identity and motion work to develop the vibrant and edgy front of house they deserve!

Ruckus are a team of established film directors based in Los Angeles creating great work in advertising. I worked as art director and lead designer with my team at Ugly Duck to develop a brand style that would be impactful and vibrant across aparrel, web/social and motion. We even created a bespoke font for their company’s ownership.

Adaption is the key to thrive in our world. Three years on, Ruckus reached out once again to refine their branding into a more minimal version of itself.  Below you can see the most recent development of their brand identity followed by the previous.
