Photobucket is an image and video hosting provider committed to preserving people’s memories
Photobucket is a popular online photo sharing and storage platform that was founded in 2003. Over the years, the platform has gone through several changes and updates, but the branding remained unchanged for a long time.
With the increased competition in the market, Photobucket realized that it needed a new and fresh look to appeal to a younger demographic and differentiate itself from other photo-sharing platforms.
Our Solution
After doing in-depth discovery and research, we developed a new brand strategy that would differentiate Photobucket from its competitors while also appealing to a younger demographic. The new brand identity was designed to be more modern, playful, and visually appealing. We created a new logo that incorporated a camera lens with a clean font that contemporized the brand.
Branding
Logo
For the new brand identity, we wanted to move away from relying on a physical representation of a camera, and instead do a nod to the idea of a camera lens but also, create a visual that pulled the viewer in. The vortex effect connoted the idea of centralization and keeping images all in one place.
For the wordmark, we chose to use a geometric sans-serif typeface called Outfit to give a modern and clean feel to the brand.
