Categories

Brand Imagery
  • An ASSET refers to artwork or user interface element: a 2D digital still or moving image used for brand and title identification, tone-setting, or navigation.
  • Assets will be viewed at attention-grabbing, tone-setting, “heroic” scales, and as elements arranged in a grid where small details can get lost.
  • Assets will be viewed at a wide range of scales on various television screens and mobile devices.
  • Assets set the stage and prompt interaction, but also accommodate informational and interface overlays.
  • In most cases the Disney+ platform will use several versions of each asset to provide a range of emphases: heroes, ensembles, action shots, villains, iconic moments, etc.
  • Content Rows feature Tile Art representing Disney+ titles, organized according to promotions, recent views, user viewing history, genres, etc. Selecting a content row image takes the user to the title’s corresponding Detail View Page.
  • The Hero Carousel promotes awareness of content in a rotating sequence of images. Selecting a carousel image takes the user to the corresponding Detail View Page.
  • The Brand Row features Tile Art for Disney+ brands. The images turn from still to animated when the Guest hovers over it. Selection takes s the user to the corresponding Brand Landing Page.
Typography
  • Title Treatments should reflect the design and aesthetics of their titles, likely drawing from existing branding or marketing solutions. However, the Disney+ interface has specific requirements for modernity that provide an equal visual treatment for new and old titles, eliminate effects such as drop-shadows and glows, and work well in conjunction with other items. Title Treatments should not simply be repurposed from other communications contexts.
  • Prefer high-contrast white/light; free of decorative graphics (frames, plaques); free of shadows or glow effects. As Title Treatments vary in aspect ratio, title art should be placed in a 16x9 frame and Left Justified and Vertically Centered.
  • Constrain Artboard/Canvas to minimum desired size of 1920 by 1080 pixels.
  • Size title artwork to max height or max width depending on which is greater.
  • Left Justify and Horizontally Center the title art within the image.
  • Export entire Artboard/Canvas including alpha channel.
  • PNG on alpha.
  • If artwork is black & white, supply two treatments: one for placement over light backgrounds and one for placement over dark backgrounds.
  • Content Logo have to be white on a transparent background
  • Place your Content Logo top-left in the template.
  • Scale the logo until it is either using full width or height of the template. • Avoid drop shadows or any other text effects.
Logo Usage
  • The Disney+ logo should prominently feature the word ‘Disney’ written in a playful, whimsical font typical of Disney branding, rendered in white color against a dark blue background. The background may include subtle, swirling patterns or light streaks that suggest a magical or enchanting atmosphere. To the right of the ‘Disney’ text, there should be a large plus sign (’+’), also in white, indicating the addition or extension of Disney content or services. The overall composition should be centered and balanced, emphasizing a clean and inviting look consistent with Disney’s branding style, evoking a sense of magic, fun, and wonder. There may also be minor accents or light effects around the text to enhance the magical theme, but the focus remains on the clearly legible ‘Disney+’ logo.
  • Like most UI elements (including text), the Disney+ Original logo is 100% white, and designed to be displayed over medium to dark images and colors.
  • For Disney+ Original titles on the service, image assets are presented with the Disney+ Original logo in all cases except for when displayed on the Originals Landing Page. As the logo will be branded programmatically with the Disney+ Original logo, artwork and assets should be delivered without the Originals logo.
  • 100% White Originals logo will be added in production.
  • The artwork needs to create enough contrast on the top right corner so the logo is legible.
  • Disney+ Original logo 100% White, No Scrim
