The Redraw Your World era is Cartoon Network’s sixteenth branding. It began on November 1, 2021 and lasted until November 1, 2022 in the US, where it has been fully replaced by Pastel, with which it already coexisted since October 2, 2022.
The campaign was launched on November 1, 2021, when Cartoon Network updated its new graphics, leaving the Bullpen and Dimensional eras. The CMYK colors and Lubalin Graph font were ditched entirely in favor of gradients and TT Norms Pro. All of the previous rectangular elements with 2D effects were replaced with new ones with 3D effects.
Graphics
Redraw Your World dropped the Lubalin Graph font, used since the introduction of CHECK it, and replaced it with TT Norms Pro. There are new bumpers featuring characters from Cartoon Network shows. The Next and New Episodes bumpers were also revamped, featuring many CN logos in an infinite grid, then a cube shows what’s up next. This version uses more text animations and animated gradient borders.

Trivia
- The Redraw Your World tagline was first introduced in February 2021 in preparation of the Bullpen era.
- Roger Craig Smith (most well-known as the current voice of Sonic the Hedgehog, especially on Sonic Boom) was added as the network’s voiceover, alongside with the current Reed LoRenzo Shannon.
- Roger Craig Smith fully replaced Reed LoRenzo Shannon as the network’s voiceover by the next era: Pastel.
- Even though it is considered as a branding in the US, Latin America and Asian countries, Redraw Your World is actually a self-motivation campaign in EMEA regions such as the UK, France or Africa, where short, motivational bumpers of talented children, selected by the network, are showing the peculiar activities from their everyday life.
- It features some faces of current Cartoon Network characters in a cube form, shared similarly from Noods.
- The gradient of Redraw Your World is composed of the colors magenta, cyan and yellow, the same CYMK color palette used on the Dimensional and CHECK it eras.
- The Zero Gravity sign-on and sign-off bumpers are used instead of unique ones, although the characters are still from current programming, except for Infinity Train, The Powerpuff Girls, and ThunderCats Roar.
