Chris Do led his creative team down an occasionally blood-spattered graphic path, visually bridging the two worlds co-ed vampire slayer Buffy walks. From the grave to the locker room and back again, wholly 3D environments were given a Mike Mignola-inspired gritty treatment, capturing the B-Horror Movie schlock and fun of the show’s unique flavor.
Keep a keen eye out for the names etched into headstones, or titles printed on books – in a nod to the fervent fan-base, Blind peppered the spot with subtle details drawn from the shows extensive lore.

Blind’s initial objective was to create an opening title sequence and transitional elements for the webisodes. Mid-way through the design process, the graphic program grew to include a full brand identity, encompassing broadcast endtags, theatrical trailers ads, the website front end – even promotional pizza boxes and 32 oz. drinks.
