Studio Atlas

A brand, a library and 450 tutorial videos for Studio. We named it Atlas, drew the mark and nine part colors, designed and built the library inside Studio, then made the films to fill it.

The idea
Training only works if people want to go back. So Studio's library got a name, a map and nine colors.

The task

Studio does a lot: people, giving, events, email, websites and more. New teams needed a way to learn it on their own, in a place that felt like part of Studio and not a folder of videos, and it had to keep up with an app that ships every week.

What we did

We named and branded Atlas, gave each of Studio's nine parts its own color and card, then designed and built the library inside the app. To fill it, we wrote, recorded and voiced 450 tutorial videos with one pipeline, so every lesson looks and sounds the same.

What we made

One brand, one library, one voice.

01 · The brand

A map for Studio.

Studio does a lot, so its training needed a place you could find your way around. We named it Atlas, a book of maps, and drew a folded map on Studio's own icon grid so the mark sits beside every other Studio icon.

02 · Color

Ink. Lime. Nine brights.

Ink and white hold the library. Lime is the Atlas color and marks progress, Studio blue ties it back to the app, and each of the nine parts gets its own bright.

03 · The part cards

Nine parts, nine cards.

Each part of Studio has its own bright, a deep accent and a line icon. The card art is drawn in code from those three values, so a new part gets its card the day it ships.

Learn Studio, one part at a time.

The real Atlas home, live inside Studio. One big promise, one search across all 448 lessons, then the nine part cards in a row you can swipe. The pieces around it are made up to show how it works.

05 · The pages

A course, not a folder of videos.

Every screen is the same family: Poppins titles, big rounded cards, the part colors doing the wayfinding. The course picks up where you stopped, each part reads like a chapter list, and every lesson has its video and an article you can read instead.

06 · The tutorial videos

Press play.

Two overviews and two tutorials, straight from the library. The brand carries into every film: the same voice, the same pace, the same title cards.

07 · How a lesson is made

Six steps, every lesson.

No film crew, no studio time. Each lesson goes through the same six hands, so the library feels like one course.

  1. 01
    A script per lesson

    Every line Skye says and every click, checked against the real app before recording.

  2. 02
    Recorded by code

    A scripted browser clicks through a demo workspace while a virtual camera frames each step.

  3. 03
    One voice

    Skye reads every lesson, so 450 videos sound like one teacher.

  4. 04
    Cut the same way

    Title card, parts, captions and an Up next card on every film.

  5. 05
    Reviewed in one list

    Each lesson moves from script to approved in a shared tracker, with notes on every version.

  6. 06
    Straight to the library

    Approved films post to Vimeo and land in Atlas, in order, ready to watch.

08 · The opener and the frames

Every film opens the same way.

The Studio mark turns in and the word slides out from behind it. Then the title card, and inside the same moves every time: a part divider, the camera zooming to what matters, a spotlight on the dialog, the result, and an up next card at the end.
