GIPHY merchandise - like GIFs themselves - took retro iconography and infused them with an expressive attitude. Animation was evoked through lenticulars, floaty pens, and anything else that moved.

Dark Igloo kickstarted GIPHY's original content library, shot the first Reaction Shoot™, watched some of our work attain meme status, directed brand videos, and set the styles that would guide thousands of comissions.
