Rivision Refresh is my new series where, give other famous or ubiquitous brands a bit of a face lift.

@expedia is one of the largest travel booking sites in the world, but using their app feel dreadful at times. Maybe that’s just the experience and that can’t be helped, but the brand identity and UI of their app aren’t helping either.

Perhaps the act of booking on the site and app will always be cut and dry, and to the point. But the visual aspect doesn’t have to feel so cynical. And in a lot of ways traveling has become just that. Very cynical and very clinical. Just pick your place, how you get there, pay up and be on you’re way.

I have thought that our experience with travel begins at booking. My brand refresh for Expedia, is largely inspired by the golden age of travel—around the 1950’s and 1960’s. Images of the iconic space-age inspired Encounter Restaurant at LAX or JFK’s TWA Terminal come to mind. A sense of wonder and excitement was physically embedded in those spaces. They were a portal and they said to their visitor’s: Beyond this threshold, you embark onto new places. New horizons.

The tagline “You’re Almost There” speaks to our anticipation for relief, escape, and adventure when we travel.

We took a well intended detour to the @crystalbridgesmuseum on the last day of @format_festival. It gave the feeling of a well kept secret. The amount of art we’ve seen over the weekend has made our cup runneth over 🖼️❤️✨ taken in Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art by @srthomasleonard

I believe in the beauty of our world. I believe in the inherent kindness of humans. I believe in our our nature to seek peace and to embody grace. To engender hope. I bask in contentment with our need to cultivate a relationship with the AWE. What we can accomplish as individuals and collectively, I stand in humility and celebrate you all.

I had the most beautiful time amongst the most beautiful souls in one of the most beautiful places on Earth accommodated by our gracious host @azzurroman — The mighty and serene paradise of Guatemala. I am forever altered by your air, your soil, and your people—all of which constitutes as medicine for my mind, body and soul. taken in Guatemala by @srthomasleonard

I’ve had this figure in my head for years. I first sketched her about 5 years ago… I don’t know who she is. Maybe I was an Andalusian gypsy in a past life—A lover from that past life, even. Or perhaps she’s the personification of an amalgamation of things I desire and admire. Who knows. But I think I’d like to paint her at some point. Still working it out on paper. by @srthomasleonard
