Dayton Children’s Launch
Cutting the ribbon on a new brand
Dayton Children’s needed a unique way to announce their new brand. I developed a concept that connected their old logo to the new one via colorful flying ribbons that wrap around real patients and staff. This ribbon concept expanded into use throughout their brand, including use in billboards, collateral, and even interior design at their facilities.

Billboard design featuring my flying ribbon concept. It was surreal seeing this every day on my commute to work.

I toured the hospital’s new patient facility and noticed they added colored ribbons to their floors.
Hi! I'm Brian Ward
I create animated explainers, advertising, and social media content to help brands capture attention, convert customers, and grow better-informed, more-engaged audiences.
I've worked on a broad variety of projects over my 15-year career, but these days I focus on 2D character-driven animation.
If your company helps people or makes the world a better place, I'd love to discuss working with you. We will quickly figure out if we're a good fit, then we'll get your project started.
