Hybride delivered graphic design content for the holographic projections inside robot (Jaeger) cockpits (Conn-Pods), as well as inside control rooms (Loccents). For the cockpit HUDS (Heads-Up Displays), Hybride’s graphic designers were faced with the challenge of creating visual signatures for graphics to help identify each robot’s country of origin, allowing audiences to instantly recognize Jaegers.

To achieve this effect, Hybride’s team of artists created a series of colour and graphic styles specific to each country’s robot. For the 2012 and 2023 versions of the American Jaeger, Gipsy Danger, Hybride produced arm grid and hand disk holograms around the pilot suits. The team also designed and created motion graphics for control room monitors and also designed and integrated the holographic television screens and computer monitors seen throughout the film.
