Amazon Events


CROWN facilitates large and small events with our friends at Amazon, both on-site with videography, photography, experiential and interior design, and wayfinding/signage, as well as digitally through presentation design, teaser videos, and promotional campaign collateral. Below are a few examples of the many projects we’re proud to have touched thus far.





01

Amazon Kids Day


Annual “Amazon Kids Day,” internally branded as Kids on Campus, brings employees’ children to Amazon campuses for a day of hands-on exploration. Our brief: build a cohesive, scalable identity that works across multiple sites, age groups, and touchpoints while staying true to Amazon’s core brand.


\\


Challenge
Create a joyful, multi-year identity that:
-> Feels unmistakably Amazon,
-> Scales across campuses and formats (from posters to wayfinding),
-> Meets kids where they are developmentally (toddlers → tweens),
-> Can flex with yearly themes without reinventing the system.

Insight
Families experience the day differently by age. Designing for those modes—watch, touch, imagine—lets the brand speak to each group without fragmenting the event’s overall look and feel.

Strategy
Define creative territories, each a springboard for the full system:
-> Finger Painting — celebrates freeform creativity and color.
-> Expandable Ideas (also explored as “Inflatable Ideas” during iteration) — ideas that grow from doodles to big thinking.
-> See, Feel, Imagine — age-based modes of experiencing the world.

Age-tiered communications
We organized content and iconography around three age bands to tailor experiences and visuals appropriately: 2–4, 5–10, 11+.

Flexible identity system
We developed a logo system and lockups designed to work with any yearly theme, preserving consistency while allowing creative refreshes.

Creative Development & Iteration
Round 1: Three creative territories explored for Amazon Kids Day with a clear plan to extend beyond posters into show signage, swag, maps, and more.

Round 2: Brand exploration for Kids on Campus logos, balancing Amazon design tenets with playful forms; intended for multi-year reuse.

Round 3: Expanded families of marks and pathways to pressure-test lockups and legibility.

Round 4: Finalized lockup options (single-color, tri-color, vertical), and codified Amazon palette application for cohesion across touchpoints.

System Components (Scope)
A complete “event-in-a-box” kit to enable multi-campus consistency:
-> Logo lockups & usage
-> Posters (concept to final)
-> Welcome slides
-> Digital graphics (various sizes)
-> Campus maps
-> Kids activity book (concept option)
-> Giveaway graphics
-> Food & Beverage printed/digital materials
-> Signage & wayfinding (various sizes)
-> Photo booth backdrops
-> Stage graphics
-> Realtime support for rollout
-> Ensure alignment across stakeholders and vendors.

Overall, the engagement encompassed hundreds of pieces of collateral, swag, signage, badges and wayfinding, which underscores the scale and operational depth of the work.

Experience Design by Age

-> Ages 2–4: guiding visuals and tactile motifs for “Itty-bitties/Movers.”
-> Ages 5–10: active, imaginative “Shakers/Wild Things.”
-> Ages 11+: maker/creator energy for “Warriors/Makers.”

This taxonomy informed iconography, copy tone, and activity labeling so every family felt seen.

Results & Impact

-> One recognizable identity for Kids on Campus that can span years and themes without losing equity.
-> Faster production at scale (pre-approved lockups, palette, and templates reduced one-off design churn).
-> Better on-site clarity for families thanks to comprehensive signage and age-specific cues.
-> Operational readiness (real-time support built into scope).

What Made It Work

-> Theme-agnostic logo system that survives annual refreshes.
-> Age-aware content model to keep messaging intuitive for families.
-> Template-driven execution across every touchpoint (from slides to maps to F&B).

Amazon All-Hands


The Amazon All-Hands Meeting is an annual conference where all company employees are invited to attend—providing Amazon’s executive team a global platform to thoroughly address their employees, dive into reports, and facilitate internal thought-leadership.

CROWN built the motion package, slide system, and delivery ops for this event—keeping dozens of decks, screens, and streams perfectly in sync on an accelerated timeline.



Challenge
Produce a cohesive, on-brand motion + design package for a global All-Hands—across live rooms, broadcast, and VOD—while accommodating late-breaking speaker changes and mixed tech specs.

What We Did
  • Master Look & System: Established the event visual language (type, grid, color, motion rules) that scaled from arena screens to laptop streams.
  • Motion Package: Openers, interstitials, lower-thirds, stingers, animated title cards, and transition loops optimized for playback.
  • Slide Ecosystem: Keynote/PowerPoint templates, iconography, and speaker toolkits to keep dozens of decks consistent.
  • Versioning & Ops: Regional cutdowns, file-naming conventions, encoding presets, QC checklists, and a shared tracker to manage approvals.
  • Live Support: Same-day revisions, last-mile exports, and coordination with AV/broadcast vendors.

Impact
A seamless, on-brand show with repeatable tooling for subsequent All-Hands. Producers and speakers self-served within a locked design system, reducing edit churn and accelerating approvals—without missed deadlines.

Alexa Prize


Amazon Science partners with the Alexa team to organize an annual, global university competition designed to accelerate advancement in conversational AI. CROWN provides key art, campaign pieces, swag, presentation support, live video and photography, as well as video teasers and behind-the-scenes interviews that helped the Alexa Prize look as groundbreaking as the research behind it—from Summit stages to “Let’s Chat” public outreach and social media.














Challenge

Support the Alexa Prize program with high-impact event storytelling and durable artifacts (videos, stage/campaign visuals, and printed proceedings) that celebrate teams and make the science accessible.

What we made

  • Event videos: we produced multiple cuts for the program, including a header/opening piece, supporting edits, and a blooper reel; these sit alongside a public recap on YouTube. 
  • Video storytelling: CROWN’s video team traveled to participating universities to interview teams, facilitating video production in California, Washington, Massachusets, Scotland, and the Czech Republic.
  • Swag & key-art concepts: we developed visual territories for the Alexa Prize Summit built to extend into stickers, tees, pins, badges, and other giveaway formats.
  • Printed journals: CROWN led the yearly design, editorial layout, and production of the official Special Journal, with 200+ pages, perfect bound, and including cover treatments like foiling, embossing, and UV.

Impact
Our creative toolkit gave the Alexa Prize team a cohesive, repeatable system for telling the story of each cohort—on-screen at events, in-hand via journals, and across ancillary touchpoints.
