TG4's new brand look wins Gold at PROMAX Europe Awards

28.05.21


 
The TG4 rebrand which was launched in February has been awarded ‘Gold’ at the Promax Europe Awards announced last night. The rebrand was nominated in the General Brand Design Package category. The rebrand idents were created by creative agency Red Bee, and a suite of supporting graphics and stings to support the idents were developed by the TG4 inhouse creative team which present TG4 programming content with brand personality. The brand idents can be viewed here on TG4’s YouTube channel: TG4 Ident Playlist
 
The Promax Europe Awards are the industry’s top prize for outstanding achievement in entertainment marketing and design. Marketers and creatives from Europe’s leading media brands gathered online to honour the campaigns from the past year that delivered audiences and helped convert viewers into passionate fans.
 
Brand Idents are the visual representation of TG4’s channel motto of ‘Súil Eile’. The six idents are contemporary interpretations of Ireland’s unique storytelling and landscapes. The concept embraces Irish landscapes whilst injecting a contemporary twist via an unexpected interaction with generated figures that enter the landscape. The idents are visual interpretations of phrases in Irish. The themes of the six idents are: Windy Day, Seaweed, Rain Dance, Leporine, Glass Blowing and Street Crossing. The idents are visual interpretations of phrases in Irish.

TG4’s Director General Alan Esslemont congratulated the team saying “Congratulations to everyone in TG4 and Red Bee who were part of the design process. A Gold award at PROMAX is the highest level of recognition for TV design in Europe and we have been awarded this gold award in the prestigious category, ‘Brand Design’, one of the most competitive categories in the entire competition. For me, the designers in TG4 have revolutionised the design of TG4 on all our broadcasting platforms. This PROMAX award and our recent CIRCOM awards show that TG4 is a world-class broadcaster. ”
 

TG4’s Creative Director Seán Cathal Ó Coileáin said, “It’s a wonderful honour to have TG4’s creative output recognised at such a prestigious event as Promax Europe. The TG4 rebrand was a creative collaboration between Red Bee Creative and TG4’s in-house design team and it was a privilege for me to have played a part in bringing these two great teams together. I’d like to thank the Red Bee team for their deep engagement with the project and for the industry experience and creativity they brought to the process, which was a joy throughout. I’m especially delighted for the excellent TG4 design team who continue to deliver outstanding design solutions and who keep TG4 at the forefront of Irish media design.”
