“Beyond the Canvas” on PBS showcases some of the nation’s leading cultural creators — musicians, playwrights, comedians, costume designers, among many others — who show us how they turn their visions of the world into art.

The concept behind the designs was to bring to life the existing ‘Canvas’ logo that appears on the PBS News Hour, but creating a playful chromatic animation that bounced an refracted in to with the short opening title music. Graphics for the onscreen package kept this same colorful feel with interchangeable lower thirds and smooth transitions that allowed for a variety of moods and stories.
