Rebranding of Six Flags
Objective Choose a defunct or a dying brand and redesign its identity to fit a future vision. The main goal is to create a fresh visual identity which follows the brand soul and helps the brand to turn over a new leaf for its new vision.
The brand I chose was Six Flags. Today, Six Flags has dedicated itself to setting the standard for theme park entertainment. Six Flags not only focuses on offering more fun to the world, but also benefits every family environmentally and socially; physically and emotionally; educationally and recreationally. I made 3 books to show the progress of my exploration for the soul of the Six Flags. And the books also contain color, type system and graphic style for the new Six Flags.

Choice Diane Tang
As Six Flags aims to offer more family fun, the typeface of the logotype should be fun and playful. We choose Gotham Round as the basic shape of the logotype.

60° Some letters should overlap ped with others to connect each other.
To make sure the symbol and the word mark consistent, the sharp corner should be round.

Type Experiments Kathrin Blatter Website, Experimental Type Spring 2016
New Direction
In this project we were asked to create a website about an opinion with a strong personal and conceptual context. I need to conduct extensive research, writing, image creation as well as design. I will need to further explore blending image and type. We need to pick a topic that we’re particularly drawn to, that we find interesting or that we’d love to investigate.
