Nitro Create 2026
Motion design for the Nitro Create 2026 identity, a logo loop, lower thirds and a host slide built on ideate, innovate and create as a typographic system, monochrome and editorial where 2025 was a blue building.

The 2026 identity went the other way from 2025. The year before was a blue building, and this one is black and white and editorial, built on three words, create, ideate and innovate, each carrying a small x.
The mark is an X drawn in distorted lines, and the same line treatment renders the speakers as contour portraits. The logo loop runs through four beats, the X, the ideate ring, REMIX THE PAST and CREATE THE FUTURE on a record, and IT’S OUR MOMENT.
Omar Whittington set the first direction for the identity. I took it much further through visual development and built the motion, the logo loop and its four beats, the lower thirds and the host slide.
