Visual Language and DEsign System
Daniel Oeffinger, Namita Davidas, Ken Huang, Sejun Park, Dannii Xi, and Christian de Palma crafted a design system that’s clean, smart, and full of playful charm—perfect for this series of spots. Huge shoutout to Ken Huang for helping lay down the design guidelines that set the foundation for it all.
Each spot embraced one of Google’s signature colors as its primary, with the others serving as vibrant pops to enhance the visual experience. The result? A dynamic, colorful world that’s as cohesive as it is captivating.

We brought the same design philosophy into the animation, making sure every intro and outro felt like part of the same vibrant, cohesive world. The pacing? Quick, slick, and snappy—perfect for keeping viewers hooked and guiding their eyes through each spot with ease.
To tie it all together, we packed in 3D stickers, 3D elements, 2D stickers, data visualizations, containers, and typography—all working together in harmony. But we didn’t stop there. We always left room for the unexpected, sprinkling in moments of fun and surprise to keep things fresh and exciting.
The dream team absolutely crushed it: animation leads Diego Abad and David Hobizal brought the motion magic, while editors Billy Kosta and Talia Mazeralla made every frame shine. Hannah Sun, Johan Erickson, Patrick Knip, John Flores and Dan Cantelm infused these minimalist designs with so much personality, and Michael Russo took my 3D ideas and leveled them up—breathing life and energy into every detail.
