Retiring the Metaglyph -- My experience in rebranding G4EVER

Posted by DannoDorkus - January 11th, 2024


It's been a bit, yet again!

I went ahead and took a brand design given to me by a member of the IoxTV community, and made it the official design for G4EVER! We of course made the transition nice and smooth, even making an ident as such!

This bumper was done in Blender, keyframing was simple yet painful. The end result looked duller, so I went and chroma keyed it to have the vibrant G4 color that I was given on the pitch.

This one was also made in Blender, however all I was given was a storyboard for this bumper, inspired by MTV's video game bumpers in the 90's/00's over in Europe. This is a spot made for sponsors, like "Brought you by" or "Sponsored by" bits.

This one I made recently for content that will only be available on G4EVER's Website, due to Youtube's ToS, or for bonus content that we feel would serve the site a purpose. This was done in Blender with some recycled assets, and the font for "Websclusives" is DMC Old (Delorean)

The G4EVER Original Stuff logo, made in Blender, and edited in some ways with Videopad. I tried to copy just a slight bit from the former "G4 Presents" bump in their 2nd incarnation, minus the seizure inducing flickers. I think I did pretty okay.

The following are social media pictures, banner and icon. Our slogan is "Get Plugged In" rather than the old "Always Plugged in, Always Playing" slogan.

The Original G4EVER Rebrand pitch, made by a member of the G4TV Discord and Iox Community. They wanted to dabble with a slightly modified metaglyph, and it works for what it's worth.

This is an example of our current TV Rating system, However the other way around, the G4 Headline font is normally on top, while the G4 2004 font is on the bottom. I figured rather than copy from Viacom's back catalogue of TV ratings, I'd make my own set, even referencing the G4 "Urban Pillow" era, which is commonly known as G4 Canada's logo.


Did I do well with adapting this rebrand? Let me know, I'd be more than happy to hear it!

T'ill next time, Newgrounds!


JUST A QUICK THING BEFORE I GO! - I've noticed that some GIFs may not work, so i've decided to make a video window of all these animations and put them together. check it below.
