PROJECT BRIEF

Hungry Bear approached us to develop the full motion graphics ecosystem for the highly anticipated reboot of Gladiators.

They were looking for a visually powerful package that could deliver on several key fronts.

First, it needed to enhance the in-arena storytelling through dynamic floor and climbing wall projections, as well as immersive LED visuals. Second, it had to provide a cohesive set of broadcast graphics that would allow for seamless integration between the live event and the TV experience at home.

And finally, the visual identity had to honour the iconic legacy of Gladiators - reimagined and revitalised for a new generation of fans.

This was a project of massive scale spanning floor projections, climbing walls, arena LED screens, and broadcast graphics. With 18 Gladiators and 15 new games across three series, every element needed a clear and

impactful visual language.

The arena screen graphics and projection content were designed to work in lockstep with real-time action, supporting storytelling while enhancing the spectacle. The visuals respond to the energy of the arena through each

moment of competition.

We developed the show’s opening titles and wider branding system, building from the iconic Gladiators logo. This bold design language carries through the games, hero introductions, and on-screen graphics, creating a cohesive

look across the show.

Our brief was to evolve the iconic 90s brand into something fit for a modern audience - slick, dynamic, and built for both live and broadcast.

The Gladiator stat cards introduce their personality and strength, helping establish the scale and attitude of the new era of Gladiators.

The final delivery was a comprehensive motion graphics ecosystem, spanning from live shows to screens to social media.

RESULTS

The premiere episode attracted an average of 6 million viewers,

peaking at 6.4 million,

marking the BBC's biggest entertainment launch in seven years.

The official Instagram account boasts over 78,000 followers, sharing behind-the-scenes content - all using backdrops, names & emblems created as part of the graphics package.

WHAT OUR CLIENT SAID

What we did want to say, is thanks so much for everything you've done for the production. We couldn't be more grateful. You've catapulted Gladiators into the present day with your unbelievable designs and been so lovely to deal with along the way. Nothing was ever too much effort and your passion shone through! The show really wouldn't be the spectacle it is now, without your involvement and hard work.
