ZDF Label Idents 2025

Foreal for ZDF

Foreal’s reimagining of ZDF’s program labels, transforming them into immersive, cinematic experiences that connect the network’s programming with its audience.

At the heart of each motion identity is a surreal circular portal—a conceptual bridge that seamlessly transports viewers from their living rooms into the worlds of Bergkino, Montagskino, and Herzkino. From alpine adventures to Hollywood spectacle and Europe’s rich storytelling heritage, each label captures the essence of its genre with striking visuals and dynamic motion.

This project blends bold design, thoughtful animation, and compelling storytelling to create a modern, cohesive look for ZDF’s iconic programming.
