The show and its branding reached audiences in countries near and far.

The 70th Emmy Awards needed an anniversary mark strong enough to own a full year of the show: billboards, stationery, trade, digital, and the Governors Ball, without losing the prestige the Academy had built over decades.

For the 70th anniversary, the in-house design department and an outside agency both pitched concepts. The mark I designed was chosen. It ran all year long on billboards, stationery, trade, digital, even Governors Ball hamburger boxes.

On the night of the show, the mark lived on the red carpet, the stage, and across the broadcast. Invitations and trade had already carried it through Emmy season, so by airtime the anniversary identity was the throughline for the whole year.
