Here we’ll cover a very brief snapshot of Ryan and the practice. Very brief.
We’re an independent Melbourne design studio with a focus on brand and motion. Led by Ryan Walker, we partner with founders, agencies and brand teams globally to create expressive brand strategies, visual identities, motion systems and motion production work.
Our work is culturally-informed and seen across the fields of music, arts, retail, technology, hospitality, automotive, real estate and more. We don't have a house style, but house values we bring to the work. Expression. Optimism. Impact. Personality meets practicality.Authenticity? Paramount. Day-one energy, every day.
Say hello! We're all about new projects and new friends. Fast responses. Clear quotes. Good times, we promise 👋
Helping an all-star team define motion principles for Google Play’s 2022 rebrand
The brief
Google Play was turning ten in 2022, and like most pre-teens, was growing up fast and needed a new look. The brand had become a tad transactional, and wasn’t living up to its name or purpose as a platform of discovery. Together with the legacy logo being commonly dubbed a ‘prism’, this formed a core brand idea for R/GA, who were tackling the rebrand. The identity system and logo was to jump to 3D. Be made multi-dimensional. Set to always-active. In late 2021 I was linked up with the brand team in New York to help bring this idea to life, build the identity system and build the 3D logo in motion. Mega brief.

Outcome
Motion principles and assets that dialed up the play. Working with the brand team over a span of three months, we developed the main logo sequences, built sets of prism behaviours and defined how this concept of prism expanded to the broader identity system in motion. Google gave the green light on R/GA’s work in mid-2022, which is now being rolled out globally. Special shout to the entire team and particularly the below. I came in at the nine-yard line to pick up some incredible work.
