Kre-8 Blocks
AfterEffects, Illustrator
Project
For this project, I created Kre-8, a fictional building block brand meant to rival Mega Bloks. Built around the idea of controlled chaos, the brand uses the slogan “Build it. Break it. Own it.” I designed and animated a custom typeface to reflect its energetic, playful identity.
Problem
- Finding animations that aligned with the brand logo
- Balancing the “building blocks” concept with sharp, chaotic shapes
- Avoiding straying too far from the intended brand message
Solution
- Replaced the “8” in Kre-8 with an 8-stud block
- Combined sharp edges with blocky letter widths
- Drew inspiration from graffiti with exaggerated proportions
- Designed motion based on the sounds and energy of playful chaos
