Real NYC

A hand holds an iPhone with a severely cracked screen. On the phone is an iMessage thread, with Real NYC stickers all over it. A full pizza has been assembled using individual pizza slice stickers, and there is a no walking sign and plastic bag.

With the release of iOS 10, Apple introduced iMessage sticker packs. We took this as an opportunity to share our love for the city we live and work in by creating a set of distinctly New York stickers made from photos of real New York objects. It was the first product released independently by the studio.

Real NYC was featured in a television ad by Apple highlighting iMessage stickers. The app was discontinued in early 2019.
