AriaTheFallen is a great streamer and building her setup was a really awesome opportunity. It came out looking crisp and had a really nice balance and a healthy serving of Overwatch. Once the initial design was complete we animated a lot of the elements and settled in to knock out a mess of awesome creative pieces to match including a full streaming set, social profile graphics, a highlight reel and a bunch… read more

MundoMerchant is a great streamer and a fixture of the community at #TeamEmmmmsie. Building his setup was a really great opportunity and it came out looking crisp and had a really nice balance of structured madness. Once the initial design was complete we animated a lot of the elements and are adding new components pretty consistently depending on his needs.

Peench is an awesome streamer and was one of my first custom clients. We’ve been pals for ages and played way too much WoW together over a period of years, really all through Cata. Building his setup was a really good time and came out looking crisp and had a really nice balance. The twitter profile skin that went along with this is still one of my +fav headers I’ve made. The… read more

DiggityGaming is an awesome streamer and wrote the greatest custom stream design brief I’ve ever read. Free creative reign, cyberpunk influence, animated elements, make it cool. Building his setup was a really fun and engaging project and I spent a lot of time really focused on the little details like the logo and neon sign design. The Screens I start most customs by taking all the input from our discussions and doing… read more

PunisherElite1 is an awesome streamer and you should check him out for great justice. He wanted something killer for his stream with a military overlay to match up with a new logo created for his brand that paid homage to the iconic “PUNISHER” series. Building his setup was a really great project and I spent a lot of time really focused on the little details like the cambox and main overlay artwork…. read more

HitmarkerHeaven had some really ambitious ideas for the look and feel of his stream. He wanted something modern for his stream with a minimal overlay to match up with a new logo created for his brand which was pitched as “The Gates of Heaven with a Hit Marker”. Building his setup was a ton of fun and the main art piece in the background is something I spent a ton of time… read more

HappyHat is a great streamer, you should pop in some time and enjoy. He wanted something clean and modern for his stream with a minimal overlay to match up with some panels he ordered previously. Building his custom setup was a ton of fun and something I’m looking forward to tweaking and adding to later on. The logo in this pack initially appeared on the panels but needed a proper rebuild for… read more

Wildiebear is an awesome streamer and super fun to watch, there’s always something going on on his channel, you should go drop a follow and not just for the epic animation 😉 He already had a completely custom pack for his channel which was amazing fun to work on so building more pieces of it was pretty fun. He had a really solid idea what he wanted, the challenge was keeping it… read more

Kidritch is an amazing streamer and he already had a completely custom pack for his channel which was amazing fun to work on. The challenge was to translate that into something with motion that would feel right with his Red Neon ‘Blade Runner’ esque setup. Scene Preview Feedback TBA

Working within and modernizing an existing brand is always really tricky business. Emma from #TeamEmmmmsie asked me to do just that and tbh I jumped at the chance having worked on a number of the admins custom overlays and channel brands already. [TeEm] was a really awesome move for me and it’s rare to find such a consistently friendly and helpful community. While relatively small, we’re all well connected – just a… read more

Chris Kerisu is an awesome streamer and great supporter of Empire. I don’t often get the chance to do full customs for Youtube so this was a lot of fun to work on. He wanted something that captured his visual style and the existing name/team designation with a really big influence drawn from Chinese dragons. Included were a complete re-branding for the main channel, team member logo, streaming pack for OBS and… read more

or ‘Are free downloads the marketing tool of the future?’ Working for free or creating free downloads is a question designers, especially early in their career struggle with. Does it devalue our work? Is “exposure” worth the time and effort you put into creating something great for a client? Will that “future project” you talked about ever happen? This is a question we all have to answer for ourselves. I work for… read more
