Black Girl Gamers

Brand Identity

Breaking up the rigid gaming industry

This project was created for the New Blood Awards 2022, organised by D&AD. Together with Superunion, Black Girl Gamers, a community-powered business dedicated to the representation and empowerment of black women in the gaming industry, published this year’s brief.
The briefing was about developing a brand and campaign that showcases Black Girl Gamers’ ambition and vibe in an authentic way. The new identity should show that they are capable of making big, impactful and long-lasting change, while conveying their quirky, hilarious and glorious personality. They clearly set themselves apart from the norms of the gaming industry and stand out from the crowd by being different.

Despite the great variety and diversity, the gaming industry is often perceived as something strict and fixed. Many communities, media, and games are affected by gatekeeping, discrimination, underrepresentation and toxicity.


Black Girl Gamers breaks out of these limitations and transforms the gaming industry into something more free, positive, progressive & moving forward.

Black Girl Gamers variable logos

The concept for the visual realisation of the idea of reshaping is implemented using typography. The firm, serious and strict sans serif typeface dissolves and transforms into something dynamic and progressive. This new liquid object can assume any shape.


The visual language of the brand identity is built on this concept and represents Black Girl Gamers ambition of transforming the strict gaming industry. It combines a more serious and professional look with a playful and colorful touch.

In order to not be limited by the strict limitations of a conventional logo, a variable logo is used in various shapes to reflect the concept of “reshaping”.
It comes with the freedom of being easily used in a variety of formats without having to be reduced to an anonymizing acronym or symbol.
The colours are inspired by the current identity and maintain the vibe and authenticity of the brand.
