Google Maps
To celebrate Maps’ 15th anniversary, we teamed up with our friends at Google to build a lively new language that’s as adventurous as their app users. Embarking on the journey to a new illustration system meant exploring every fork in the road with the BUCK team. We ultimately found our way to a structured system, tethered to the real world, that brings a sense of life and adventure to every screen.
