Once called American Movie Classics, AMC is now known as the home of ground-breaking scripted dramas such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead. On March 31, for the season finale of The Walking Dead, it launched a new look. Everything was developed with broadcast branding agency
Troika in Los Angeles.
At the center is the tagline and brand positioning "Something More", replacing "Story Matters Here". According to a press release, it "reflects the network’s ongoing commitment to providing a place for original stories and characters that defy expectations".
Starting off, the logo has updated and turned negative with slightly tweaked letterforms and a slated gold finish. The gold box should indicate both "premium quality and popular appeal". A challenge for Troika was to create a look with premium aesthetics that was seen as "accessible, warm, and welcoming".
