SPOTIFY BOLLYWOOD BUTTER
IDENTITY FOR BOLLYWOOD’S MOST ICONIC PLAYLIST

IDENTITY DESIGN • BRAND GUIDELINE

Overview

Spotify asked us to reimagine the face of Bollywood for a new generation of listeners. This wasn’t about film posters or gold foil drama. It was about creating a visual identity that felt bold, fun, and just a little bit messy in the best way. We teamed up with Studio Kohl and designed a system that felt fresh but familiar. Curved lettering and comic-style shadows gave the logo bounce and personality. Indian architectural elements were simplified into graphic frames, and bold backgrounds brought the burst of colour that the playlist deserved. It’s a look that celebrates the full spectrum of Bollywood.

Our Approach

The Response

We leaned into contrast. Black and white illustrations were set against bright, saturated colors. Traditional Indian architectural motifs were reimagined as playful graphic frames. The logo was bold, curved, and outlined like a comic, giving the identity its own attitude. We worked with Studio Kohl to build a visual system that felt loud, sticky, and full of personality.

The Twist

Bollywood Butter didn’t try to copy cinema. It captured the same energy. From starbursts to stretched shadows, every detail was made to match the playlist’s mood: big, cheeky, and a little self-aware. This wasn’t just a rebrand. It was a remix.
