    NEW YORK -- (SPW) --

    The artists and producers from international production company and design studio Brand New School (BNS) are very proud to present their recent collaboration with international graphic design icon Stefan Sagmeister for EDP Renovaveis, S.A., the renewable energy subsidiary of Energias de Portugal (EDP) and one of the world’s largest and fastest growing wind energy companies. nnSagmeister, Inc. has recently created and introduced a strikingly fresh brand identity for EDP. To help introduce it throughout Portugal and beyond, Sagmeister teamed with BNS to develop an animated storyline using the brand new illustrative visual language. The resulting :60 commercial debuted last week on broadcast and cable television in Lisbon, Portugal, and along with many shorter versions, it is set to continue airing widely across the country and Europe for many weeks to come.nn

    nn"It was such a pleasure to see the identity we created together with EDP become alive through the magic of Brand New School, not only were the results lovely but the process getting there also absolutely enjoyable," Sagmeister said.nnFor BNS, the project team featured founder and executive creative director Jonathan Notaro, art director Christopher Palazzo, executive producer Devin Brook, producer Derek Macleod and an illustrious team of designers and artists. The animation workflow involved creating vivid illustrated scenes from EDP’s new branding identity created by Sagmeister art director and designer Jessica Walsh along with others created by BNS. "Bringing life-like behavior to the deceptively simple geometric system created by Sagmeister, Inc. was a fun challenge," Palazzo explained. "The scope of this system is absolutely astounding. A graphic system this rich and smart can do anything, as shown in the final piece. Stefan and his team were an absolute dream to work with."nn"This collaboration with Sagmeister Inc. is special," Notaro added. "Obviously he is a design god, and as fans of his work over the years we were all super excited with this collaboration, and looking forward to the next one!"nn
    nn"EDP" features the song "The Gift." Additional credits for Sagmeister include illustrators Stephane Elbaz, Xavi Garcia, and Michael Freimuth. For BNS, credit also goes to Flame artist Blake Huber, designer/animators Robin Greenwood and Hye Sung Park, designers Caleb Chalter, Phil Intralligi, animators Scott Balles, Andrew Mastrocinque, and artist Andrew Rothschild. nnFor more information on EDP and this campaign, please visit www.edp.pt. nnAbout Brand New SchoolnWith offices in New York, Los Angeles and London, Brand New School is a vertically integrated production company and design studio that delivers extraordinary media on all platforms.

    “I immediately hit it off with Becky and love that she has so many ideas that are tactical, scalable and make a powerful difference,” adds Roberts. “She challenges the status quo while producing beautiful, world-class content. With this partnership, we can better serve our clients and carry our mission forward together.”
