Google Stadia

Revealed in March 2019, Stadia is a new cloud-based gaming service from Google that lets gamers stream the best games across any device, anywhere.

In partnership with Google and Google Creative Lab, we sought to capture and elevate the service’s guiding principle: one place for all the ways we play. We helped develop the brand identity and visual system that celebrates Stadia’s simplicity, inclusivity and innovation.

Color Palette

Comprised of vibrant oranges and a deep plum, the colors evoke feelings of whimsy and thrill. The color combinations create a bold gradient that helps to unify and entice gamers onto a new frontier that’s waiting to be explored.
