When Black News Channel, now BNC, came to SmithGeiger Group and its in-house creative agency, Vivid Zero, to conduct a top-to-bottom rebrand, much like Dorothy and her ruby slippers everything they needed was there from the start. It just took many hours of meetings and many people staring at design and copy and sketches for the synchronicities to make themselves known. 

In the end, BNC emerged with a sleek, futuristic new logo and gleaming 3D motion graphics to match, a clever tagline, and a new sonic brand from music production company Dynamite Laser Beam. 

BNC President and CEO Princell Hair and Vivid Zero Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Michael Vamosy join the podcast to talk about how, through a process of close collaboration and digging into lots of data, the rebrand came together and prepared BNC for a future of expansion.
