ABC Kids rebrand

Branding agency Hulsbosch has designed a new brand identity for ABC Kids to communicate a new and cohesive direction with a consistent look and feel across broadcast, retail and online.

The new identity incorporates the apple, bee and carrot symbols ABC for Kids that the ABC has used for 25 years to signify early learning content.

The ABC Kids TV channel will use the new branding from March.
