New graphics for The Gadget Show






































The latest series of The Gadget Show has aired with new titles and graphics produced by Bottletop. The brief was to re-design the look and feel of the show to reflect the fun and entertainment of the series and to move away from a hard-edged techy style. Following a pitch, Bottletop was commissioned to produce titles and a complete content graphics package. A fresh, new colour scheme for the graphics has been established which allows for flexibility within the different strands of the programme.

CONGRATULATIONS ANNE!

Anne has made it to the top of Kilimanjaro.
Of the people attempting to climb it, just over half actually make it to the top, so well done!

Rumble in the jungle











Bottletop has produced motion graphics for Lafarge's annual corporate event. Commissioned by Q-Base Media, Bottletop were given the theme of 'Tribal' and created an opening sequence with animated rainforest and animals. An overview of 2009 was also produced as a diary montage posted on the wall of a jungle hut. This is the third year that Bottletop has been asked to produce the graphics for this major event.

Bottletop reaches new heights....















This week Anne is off to Tanzania to (attempt to) climb Kilimanjaro. At just under 19,500 feet Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and the highest mountain in Africa. So...either she'll be back in two weeks or we'll be advertising for a new designer - watch this space.

We'll make sure next year's is twice as good to make up for it! See you in 2010. Festive greetings from the Bottletops.

The Gadget Show 2010

We were delighted to be asked a couple of weeks ago to pitch to refresh The Gadget Show for 2010. Bottletop originally branded the show back in 2004 and has produced a couple of versions of the titles since, but this time the producers (North One Television/Five) asked us to give the show a completely new look. It has been a bit tricky juggling an office move, current clients and a pitch we very much wanted to win, but..... we did it! Following a meeting at Five's HQ in London today Bottletop is currently working on the new look graphics which will be on screen in the new year.
