(n+1) Designstudio Partners with FNTSY Sports Network to Create Brand Identity
Creative service firm redefines brand experience for new network.
Durham, NC, March 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- (n+1) designstudio, a creative services firm providing motion graphic design and conceptual branding solutions for the sports and entertainment industries, today announced it has partnered with FNTSY Sports Network to create the network’s brand identity, including the logo and graphical elements.
FNTSY Sports Network, which launched March 4, is the first network specifically targeted to the estimated 40 million people who play fantasy sports annually. The network's programming includes live studio shows, panels, celebrity and expert drafts, call-in shows, reality programming and on-site commentary from sports venues. The network is owned by Anthem Media Group Inc., a global leader in operating niche television channels on linear, digital and mobile platforms.
Rising to the challenge of creating a brand that is appealing while still incorporating the data and statistical elements of fantasy leagues, the creative team at (n+1) designstudio developed a bracket concept that fully immerses the audience in the analytical, informational and breaking news aspects of fantasy sports, delivered in a seamless flow of information that is easy to consume and understand.
A division of SMT, (n+1) designstudio crafted the production’s broadcast-quality design to synchronize with SMT’s graphics publishing system, the Data Matrix Switchboard® (DMX). The DMX pushes data such as player statistics, injuries, scores and leaderboards to the network’s news tickers and offers direct control of content through an application that allows content to be manually inserted by the network’s operators.

“The branding challenge for FNTSY was to avoid overloading the viewers and balancing the content within the ticker containers,” said Michael Guastaferro, art director at (n+1) designstudio. “With an expanded multiple-line ticker and two scrolling tickers, we have presented an engaging, entertaining interface to viewers while providing the hard-core content that fantasy sports players crave.”
