The UCH Education Centre

This week the website for The Education Centre at University College Hospital has gone live. Designed and built by Bottletop, the website is a showcase for the centre which is the UK's most advanced medical training and teaching facility. Bottletop was commissioned to deliver both the showcase website and also a database driven website for internal use, dealing with clinical statistics, to be used as an analytical tool. The website features a fly-through animation to help explain the facilities within The Education Centre.

CITV Easter Promotion

It's the Sick Chicks versus the Hot Cross Bunnies in the battle for possession of the legendary Beaster Egg on Beaster Island - another Bottletop promotion for children's channel CITV. Bottletop developed and drew the characters (with pencils!) and animated them in After Effects. The idents are used to top and tail stop frame animatics produced in-house at CITV in Manchester. The promotions were transmitted before and during the Easter holiday period.

Morgan

Bottletop were asked by BBTV to create a 3D, animated version of the famous Morgan logo to be used as a sting within a film celebrating the first 100 years of the famous British car company.

Integrex

Derbyshire-based engineering firm Integrex contacted Bottletop with a need to refresh their branding and create a bright, clean and easily navigable website.
The forty-year-old company designs, manufactures and supplies electronic and IT solutions such as Top Up kiosks, touch screens, projectors, IT networks, hardware and software to a diverse market place including aerospace and education. Two microsites for Integrex's own-brand products VisiLift and PayPix link into the main company site. PayPix and VisiLift have been given their own sub-brand identity which allows Integrex to add new products as they come on stream. Bottletop is now working with Integrex on further marketing materials to celebrate its fortieth year of business.

All in a good cause

Bottletop has donated a website to Pole In One - a team of intrepid adventurers, including Anne's brother Iain - who are racing to the North Pole in April to raise thousands of pounds for charity.
