Instead of just making ads about creativity, Vans helps artists bring their ideas to life. We worked with Vans to design and implement this global campaign. We created a multi-language graphic package that was used by a small team of video editors around the globe. All the projects can be seen at vans.com/offthewall.

Nike By You hired Violet Office to design and produce assets for the Give Thanks campaign. The hand drawn script and highlight shapes reference handwritten letters. We think of storytelling as something deeply personal and see handwriting as a visualization of an individual’s experience.

Genius Verified is a song’s lyrics and meaning, straight from the artist. We developed the series visual identity and motion graphic package. Our goal was to create a system that reflected the annotated song lyrics from genius.com. Verified has become one of the essential stops for up and coming and established artist's alike.
