We at Magpie 6 Media adore Barry’s Tea – swear by it and are devout drinkers of their lovely golden concoction. So much so that we made a video promo for them.
As an intro for their explainer video series, the Burren GEO Park asked that we create an animated logo using the approved design. We liked the idea that geologists were fond of digging fossils in the park. They loved it!
The Tee-Siopa logo was fun to figure out. What drew the eye was the colourful ink splotches. Having some experience in silk screening, we thought of using the ol’ squeegee to get the company name stretched across.
John McCarthy’s Lahinch Surf School has a wonderful retro logo that we were excited to get moving. It featured a little character on a surfboard so, naturally we wanted to get the little dude coming down the wave.
What better way to get your day started than to watch some jive dancing breakfast treats cut the rug, double bounce walking along a deli counter, and singing a happy song!

If Santa can pop out of a chimney, then why can’t a cuppa coffee march along to a jingle?
As part of the TV commercial campaign, part of it was resigned and animated for the small digital screens.

The Irish insurance company had been running ads on tv and print featuring a family of blue characters. The old version were stiff and needed a little, get up and go. So we redesigned them with expressive faces, and smooth, lively animation. The commercials were a success and got a lot of good reviews.
