January Media
Arts & Culture
A cinematic rebrand for a studio in transition.
January Media (formerly January Films) came to us during a pivotal shift, expanding from film into TV, podcasts, and digital storytelling. With a new name and broader scope, they needed a brand identity that could carry across formats while staying true to their creative roots.
Led by longtime producer Julia Rosenberg, the studio wanted a visual identity that felt cinematic and personal. Inspired by Canadian skies and quiet emotional moments, the brand needed to evoke a sense of story, light, and transition without falling into cliché.

Process
We grounded the brand in the emotional language of light, drawing from winter skies and golden-hour hues. The identity centered around a rising semi-circle that suggests both a sun and a lens, hinting at moments in transition.
Clean type and subtle motion gave it clarity and flow.
It was a collaborative, detail-driven process shaped by Julia’s creative vision and her desire for something quietly powerful.

The final identity is cinematic, quiet, and expansive, designed to hold emotion without needing to shout. Built around the language of light and transition, it reflects the studio’s evolving focus and deep storytelling roots. It marks not just a new name but a new era, one that feels grounded, poetic, and unmistakably January.
