For years, Black Spot has provided design services as an “add-on” to its creation of high-end launches, trailers, upfronts, sizzles, and advertising campaigns.
Adding Aviary to the family of companies at Black Spot is a natural evolution for this firm that offers stem-to-stern creative services to the media industry.
“Our aim is to work closely with our clients from the very beginning of their creative process,” adds Laskas, “which has led to a surge in the number of design requests over the past few years. We recognize the need to create a dedicated team focused solely on delivering these services. This decision aligns perfectly with our commitment to meeting all of our clients' evolving needs.”
“The team at Black Spot is an extension of our in-house design team at ABC,” says Lucas Aragon, Executive Director, Design at ABC Television. “The introduction of Aviary is exciting for us since it offers additional ways for us to partner and collaborate.”
Aviary’s newly-launched services include:
- Concepting: inspiration boards, idea creation, research, storyboards;
- Key art and show packaging;
- Animation of static for social media, GIFs, cinemagraphs;
- Walk-on graphics for presentations.

Boma | Camp Sugar Brand Identity
Rebel Wilson's Directorial debut “The Deb” premiered as the closing night film at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Adding a touch of creative flair to the film’s debut, the team at Boma helped in crafting the brand identity for Wilson’s production company, Camp Sugar.
“Rebel and her team approached us with this adorable character design and a simple question: ‘Can we make this happen in time for Toronto?’” shares Jason Cohon. “As huge fans of animation, and with such a fantastic concept from Josh and Meredith on Rebel’s team, it was an easy ‘yes!’”
The :05 identity opens in a serene forest scene featuring a hand-carved wooden sign reading “Camp Sugar.” As the camera reveals two hands gently holding the sign, a little girl playfully peeks from behind, inviting the audience into the world of Camp Sugar. Boma was tasked with designing and animating the 3D environment and character, delivering a fully rendered introduction that will serve as a long-lasting signature for Rebel Wilson’s films for years to come.
“We had so much fun making this and hope to be able to do many more unique versions for all of Camp Sugar’s films.”
Based in Los Angeles, Boma was created to fill a need for quicker turnarounds and tighter budgets while maintaining quality at the highest creative level. With a fully remote pipeline, global partnership across three continents and a team of senior creative talent, Boma is equipped to scale projects rapidly, regardless of budget or timeline constraints.
