Stranger Things: Tales from '85

Back to the Upside Down. Forward into Something New.

After the record-breaking series finale of Stranger Things on New Year's Eve 2026, we were invtied back to help shape it's next evolution. We began with the iconic theme and lettering, but introduced vibrant colors in an homage (and update) to those classic Saturday morning cartoons of the 1980's. We also incorporated visual elements, such as the geometric shapes present throughout the show, to form the textures. Finally, to match the tone of the 8-bit variation on the theme, we composed a lock-up that proclaims that this is Stranger Things as you've never seen it before.
