PlanetF1 Rebrand 🏁 PlanetF1 is one of the world’s leading independent Formula One media platforms, established in 1999 and part of the Planet Sport Group. Known for its global audience and trusted race coverage, it delivers breaking news, analysis and live weekend reporting to millions of F1 fans worldwide. I led the rebrand and wider visual overhaul of the platform. Working closely with key stakeholders, I drove the research and discovery phase before designing and presenting a refreshed identity system built to position PlanetF1 as a modern, digital-first brand for Formula One audiences. The identity needed to feel fast, precise and unmistakably connected to the sport, while elevating the platform’s presence within an increasingly competitive sports media landscape. It also needed to support high-frequency publishing across news, live coverage and social content. The final identity introduces a new icon inspired by the Formula One “mini-map”, acting as a directional system to reflect speed, positioning and race tracking. Supported by updated brand guidelines and enhanced motion capabilities, the system creates a more dynamic and consistent visual language across digital and social platforms, strengthening PlanetF1’s presence as the sport moves “On the Grid”.

Really like how the new icon connects back to the F1 mini-map. It gives the rebrand a clear idea behind it, not just a new look.

The rebrand feels fast without relying on obvious racing clichés. The system has enough energy for live coverage and enough structure for trusted analysis.

Rebranding something as established as PlanetF1 without losing the audience that already trusts it feels like a real tightrope walk, and the mini-map inspired icon is a smart way to stay connected to the sport instead of just going generic-modern. Was there a moment in the...

There were plenty of moments where the direction changed. This was one of the final ideas that I created before showing the client the initial routes!

That's rare restraint, most people would ship every direction they explored instead of narrowing it down first. What did the client's early reactions actually sound like, more "too safe" or more "too far from PlanetF1"?

The mini-map concept is such a smart touch it gives the identity a real connection to F1 without feeling too literal. 🏁

Dropping the old logotype for a brand this established feels like the riskiest part of this, but the mini-map inspired icon gives you something distinctly F1 to fall back on instead of going generic-modern. My guess is the account and social engagement end up being what...

It's been a while since we launched this rebrand (Over two years now). It was definitely part of a wider push for social content and it's 100% seen the benefits of this. They wanted to attract a younger audience, so it was key that the rebrand appealed to the new generation of formula one fans.

PlanetF1 has been part of my daily routine for nearly two decades — not a single race weekend goes by without it open on my screen. To come across someone who's shaped the very identity I interact with every day is a genuinely special thing. Brilliant work.
