A new brand for the home of documentary storytelling.

NZMP

We developed a brand identity that demonstrates what Doc Edge does with structure and a strong opinion. The identity uses a linear device that allows them to frame content and present an opinion about the power of documentary film-making.

Deployed across physical, digital and social channels, this identity flexes and adapts to connect Doc Edge with a diverse audience.
