Logo

Whenever possible, the Hulu logo should be green. In cases where we want to make an impact by using a green background, the logo can be black. Color combinations are shown in order of priority.

Safe Zone

The logo's safe zone is equivalent to the height of the "u" on all sides.

Color

Hulu green is our primary brand color. It represents the fresh distinctiveness of our brand and stands out from more traditional entertainment palettes. Black is our secondary color and is used over green. Dynamic Gradient is used to create depth and bring a cinematic quality to designs.

Printing Hulu Green

Our green is important to us. If you ask people "What comes to mind when you think of Hulu?", the word "green" is one of the most common responses. So, understandably, we’re quite particular about it.

Typography

Typography is our visual voice, bringing range, nuance, and attitude to what we have to say. Hulu uses the Graphik type family in all applications.

Iconography

Icons are part our emotive and navigational language. They also bring attitude and texture to our stories. The icon and the rounded Vessel should always have a contrasting color.

The Vessel

The Vessel is a visual metaphor for TV, redefining what TV is. A system born from our logo, it is more than just a frame. As we fill it with meaning, it becomes the connective tissue across all brand touchpoints.

Use the following formulas to make your Vessel perfect.

Stroke Weight

Divide longest edge of the Vessel by 100.

Vessel width: 904px
Stroke weight: 9px

Corner Radius

Divide shortest edge of the Vessel by 6.

Vessel height: 231px
Corner radius: 38px

If using multiple Vessels in a single piece of creative, all corner radius and stroke weights should align to the average (not smallest, not largest).

Grid

Don’t underestimate the power of the grid.

A simple, flexible system that brings Hulu together on every platform.

Using the following approach,
we can create a consistent 1:1 grid system that works across all formats.

Define the aspect ratio of the format.

Use the aspect ratio to create a 1:1 grid. 16 units across by 9 down.

Then multiply the grid units equally to ensure the grid is dense enough.

CTA

To unify how availability information appears across our creative, Hulu has created a lockup system which is applied to all single-title Hulu Original creative.

Static CTAs

The single-title CTA should always appear in the lower portion of the creative as shown below. Always ensure that the green Hulu logo is legible over the background.

AV CTAs

There are 2 options for single-title AV CTAs. For longer promos, use the 2-card system with the availability date on its own card.
For shorter promos, use the combined single card system.
