Rebranding

Riot Games

Introduction

We didn't just redesign a logo, we gave one of gaming's greatest brands its defining symbol.

(Challenges)

Riot Games is one of the most influential forces in gaming, but even icons evolve. In 2022, we partnered with Riot to reimagine their visual identity for a new era, crafting the now-iconic Fist symbol that stands as a bold declaration of where the brand was headed: forward, without ever forgetting its roots.

(Final thoughts)

Riot Games came to us with a clear but delicate challenge: how do you modernize a brand that millions of fans around the world already love? With a rapidly expanding universe of game titles and a global community deeply invested in the brand's legacy, there was no room for missteps. The new identity had to feel fresh and future-facing — while still carrying the DNA of everything Riot had built.
