New York & Los Angeles – TwinArt, one of the
country’s top creative studios specializing in branding and identity of
television networks and programs, was awarded a Creative Arts Emmy Award
for the Main Title Open and Graphics Package for “The Ellen DeGeneres
Show” for client Telepictures Productions. The 33rd Annual Daytime Emmy
ceremonies took place in Los Angeles recently. The announcement was made
today by TwinArt co-founders Lynda & Ellen Kahn.
For “Ellen,” TwinArt designed a new title
sequence and interior show graphics for the daily daytime series, which
was first seen during Fall 2005. The look was created to brand “Ellen”
with the original tiffany blue color palette and square shape while
introducing additional colors and shapes to reflect and integrate with the
new set. Blues, greens and neutral colors add a natural palette and new
organic shapes play into a modern while vibrant energetic feel. Lively
clips from the show of Ellen DeGeneres interacting with celebrities are
combined with the artful open.

enhanced ‘Ellen’ with a fresh and distinctive new look that reinforces the
