About Jump Design and Direction
Jump Design and Direction is an independent motion graphics and creative production agency working across television, sport and entertainment. Established in 1996, the studio creates broadcast identities, title sequences, animation and presentation graphics for broadcasters, sports organisations, independent production companies and advertising agencies.
Its work combines graphic design with moving-image production, spanning concept development, storyboarding, typography, 3D modelling, animation, compositing and visual effects. Projects range from individual programme logos and opening sequences to coordinated channel packages and tournament graphics. Live-action filming and direction complement its animation and post-production capabilities, allowing the studio to develop projects from initial ideas through to finished content.
Broadcast and entertainment
The studio's entertainment work includes the opening title sequence and motion graphics package for The Graham Norton Show, broadcast titles and animated sequences for MasterChef, and programme branding and on-screen design for Sort Your Life Out. It has also produced titles and visual branding for Go Hard or Go Home, alongside graphics and animation for The Box.
Beyond programme identities, Jump's services encompass channel idents, promotional campaigns, commercials, quiz and game show graphics, and news and current affairs packaging. Its design capabilities also extend to scientific explainers, maps, data visualisation and hand-drawn animation.
Sports presentation
Sports branding is a substantial part of the studio's portfolio. Its UEFA European Qualifiers work covers on-air and off-air identity, titles and match graphics. Other projects include broadcast packages and live match graphics for the UEFA Europa Conference League Final and UEFA Women’s EURO 2022, plus presentation work for the Champions Hockey League, International Biathlon Union and European Handball Federation.
Jump also provides creative direction, branding and screen graphics for the Sport Industry Awards. These projects connect tournament and event identities with the practical demands of broadcast presentation.
The company adopted a permanent, fully remote operating model in 2021 and works with a distributed team across the United Kingdom. It marked its thirtieth anniversary in 2026.
