REBRANDING A YOUNG POST-CABLE NEWS & MEDIA DISRUPTOR

REBRANDING A YOUNG POST-CABLE NEWS & MEDIA DISRUPTOR

Cheddar-Header-2000×924-2

Cheddar created a new space for news when they launched the first ever post-cable network. Their live streaming networks deliver news and culture to a young professional audience 20 hours a day. As a business, Cheddar continues to evolve to meet the needs of their audience, clients, and stakeholders; it was time for the brand itself to evolve, too. The new brand identity including a flexible logo system and taglines elevates the Cheddar master brand to where it belongs today, and brings cohesion to the once confusing individual networks.
