Davis & Green
Davis & Green, a home-services company, underwent a complete rebrand led by Yebo. I was responsible for editing the broadcast advertisements and designing the motion graphics used throughout the launch campaign. The creative team developed a set of elemental icons representing the company’s key service categories, and I animated these for broadcast spots, social media placements, and the client’s website—ensuring consistency across all platforms.
A major component of the rebrand was introducing “Ollie the Octopus,” the new character mascot. Early explorations involved stretching Ollie’s tentacle to interact with the ampersand in the logo, paired with underwater bobbing movement. Through iteration, we refined the animation to a more subtle rotational sway and gentle buoyancy, creating a clean, understated motion that supported the brand tone without distraction.
Initially, we wanted Ollie to stretch to the ampersand while he bobbed and floated in the water. In the end, we went with a slight rotation and subtle bobbing.
