Moses Parting the Red Sea, from God’s Eye View, a series of scenes from the Bible re-imagined via Google Earth. All works by The Glue Society, unless otherwise stated

The Glue Society, the company behind God’s Eye View, a series of images that re-imagine key scenes from the Bible as if captured on Google Earth (which caused something of a stir on the CR blog at the end of last year) was ten years old last month. This is their story.

Spotted this ad on the telly-box last night. The Sugar Puffs Honey Monster is back and stars in a new ad (created by agency Bray Leino) - in which he is seen making up a whacky rhyme (about eating Sugar Puffs) with some actor who seems to be in every other TV ad at the moment…

E4 Music idents, Production company: Mr & Mrs Smith, Director: Andy Martin, Producer: Ali Taylor, Creative director: Lisa Lloyd, Animators: Lee Cooper, Ned Miles, Andy De Vries

Production company Mr & Mrs Smith has created this series of rather fine new idents for E4 Music, which step neatly into the void recently left by the BBC3 blobs, yet come complete with a surreal twist.

Problem Playground ad for Honda, Agency: Wieden + Kennedy London, Creatives: Sam Heath, Frank Ginger, Director: Antoine Bardou-Jacquet, Production company: Partizan

Following the huge success of Cog, Grrr, and Choir, it’s always interesting to see where Wieden + Kennedy will go next in its advertising for Honda. So it was exciting to receive their latest commercial for the brand at CR towers this morning.

On the TV spot, we find a bunch of boffins using retro children’s games, such as jigsaw puzzles and Rubik’s cubes, to illustrate engineering problems that have been solved by Honda, including the hybrid engine and energy efficient solar panels. They even slot in a small reference to Cog by creating a chain reaction with coffee cups and sugar cubes on a tea break.

BBC Three’s new logo, devised by Red Bee Media

To be completely honest, we’re rather sad here in CR towers at the thought of the imminent demise of the cone-shaped blobby creatures (devised by Aardman Animation for Lambie Nairn’s original BBC Three branding package, delivered almost exactly five years ago) that moved and grooved to the sound of Three Is The Magic Number…

Still from one of two new ads written by BBH and directed by National Television of Not To Scale for new homeowner loan comapany, Fair & Square

Let’s face it: the Homeowner Loan sector isn’t well known for its beautifully crafted television advertising. Unless, of course, you feel magically transfixed by seeing Carol Vorderman endorsing the consolidation of all your existing debts by taking out a FirstPlus loan – or cinematically wowed by the ad in which a particularly annoying, apparently football-obsessed wastrel proclaims, “You can really talk to those people at Picture”, while his wife films him on a video recorder they clearly should never have bought…
