The TVDB
The TVDB is an user-contributed database that keeps track of any show that is aired on television. This open source project is entirely run on submissions from avid TV watchers, offering a wealth of facts and figured relating to television shows. Apart from offering detailed descriptions, actors’ biographies and episode rating, the website allows users to keep track of their favorite shows and discuss them on the forums. One of the key reasons why the TVDB is so popular, is because of it’s full XML-based API. This allows popular media-related applications and plug-ins to pull in the wealth of knowledge, into the user experience.
The TVDB started out as a small project, and that can still be seen in the graphics that are featured on the website. My approach to the logo design was to feature a simple, elegant design that works well in small sizes. Together with the color palette and the abstraction of the letters ‘d’ and ‘b’ result in an unique, visually appealing logo design.
