Rising Stars

Mixer, Xboxโ€™s game streaming service, needed branding for a new category that spotlights up-and-coming streamers

 

Viewers on Mixer use โ€œSkillsโ€ to donate money to their favorite streamers. In order to pocket these donations, a streamer must be a partner, which requires meeting a certain list of criteria. Most streamers are not partners. Skills can be used on non-partner channels but the streamers on these channels are unable cannot benefit financially. This begs the question, how and why would I as a viewer donate to a non-partner streamer if they receive no financial gain? The proposed solution is Mixer Rising Stars.

Mixer Rising Stars is a channel on Mixer that spotlights non-partner streams where high levels of Skill activity is taking place. Added exposure for non-partners puts them in a better position to meet the partnership criteria. Mixerโ€™s hope is that this approach encourages viewers to use more Skills on more streams.

After landing on 3 solutions, I incorporated the Mixer logo to create 3 lockup options. From this point it was simply a matter of determining a logo that scaled best in-situation.

Our team collectively landed on B for its balance. In-situation, the logo scaled down to 20px by 20px without losing much detail. At this point in time, the channel is awaiting implementation.
