Design context
Logo design & typography notes
MCKL Type describes a new Electronic Arts logo and custom typeface family, directed by Skylight Collective and Electronic Arts, whose display fonts take their geometric proportions from the cube, sphere and pyramid of the original branding. The sources checked do not date this work.
Instrument’s case study of an EA rebrand says the colour palette kept a heritage blue at its core and that the Electronic Arts Display typeface was developed into a system with serif, mono and text styles. The case study gives no year.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteMCKL Type designed a custom typeface family for Electronic Arts with display fonts, text fonts and a monospaced variant. Instrument’s case study names the display face Electronic Arts Display.
Logo lettering can differ from a brand’s corporate typefaces.
