The Brief

One package. Many shows.

The Flannel partnered with Underdog Fantasy to create custom graphics packages for their network of original content. A single visual system that could carry across live-to-tape and post-produced shows while leaving room for each title to feel like itself.

Not a one-off open. Not a single hero asset. A package built to run, week after week, across multiple shows and a constant stream of social cutdowns.

The Approach

Built off one show system.

We designed the show package as a single visual language: opens, wipes, lower thirds, and talent frames. Then we extended that same system into a social asset library - animated and still assets pulled directly from the established show look.

Quote grabs and snippets. Banners and thumbnails for each platform. Every social asset reading as the same brand the show opens with, so the network feels like one piece of content no matter where you encounter it.

The Work

Show package + social library.

We delivered the full graphics package - opens, wipes, lower thirds, talent frames - for both live-to-tape and post-produced shows. Alongside it, a social asset library covering quote grabs, snippets, banners, and platform-specific thumbnails.

Animated and still assets, all pulled from the established show system. Editor-ready handoff so the Underdog team carries it forward day to day.
