Neal Weisenberg

For the past 9 years, Neal Weisenberg has served as Art Director of Disney Channel.

Neal is the first and only art director Disney Channel has ever had. In this role, Neal has

guided the on-air visual identity for television’s number one children’s network. During

his tenure, Disney Channel’s total viewer ratings surpassed the competition for the first

time in the channel’s history. Neal was part of the team responsible for the redesign of

the iconic Disney Channel logo and for managing the network’s on-air branding in the

US and internationally. Working across multiple platforms, Neal’s artistic direction can

be seen in Disney Channels all over the world.

 

Neal’s career in television began in Chicago where he worked for 2 network-owned

stations. As Art Director for CBS 2 Chicago, Neal helped revamp the entire station’s look

across multiple platforms including on-air, print, and digital. In the 2006 BDA North

America Design Awards competition, Neal and his design group won more awards than

any other local TV station in the country.

 

Prior to CBS 2, Neal worked for ABC 7 for 11 years where his indelible stamp can still be

seen on that station’s on-air brand. Neal’s impeccable attention to detail and breakthrough

creative vision have led to many other professional honors, including 6 Emmys

and countless Promax and BDA awards.

 

Neal is active in the creative community through his membership in PromaxBDA and

his participation on the Emmys Title Design Committee. For the past 3 years, Neal has

been a adjunct professor at UCLA, teaching a “Graphic Design for Broadcast” class.
