Vinopolis is London’s premier wine tasting venue; offering tasting tours, events and fine dining. Sitting on the Thames and a stone’s throw from London Bridge, the stunning architecture and highly innovative wine tasting tours are a must for anyone with even a passing interest in the mighty grape.

To help share the Vinopolis experience online, we created this pacey little animated short for seeding on the interweb.

‘IF’ by Rudyard Kipling is arguably one the most evocative pieces of verse ever written, containing many lines which resonate with us personally. As part of our ‘Things we like’ series we’ve crafted a rather neat typographic version of the whole poem, which you can view or download by clicking the link below.

Millennium Hotels and Resorts asked 42 Square to design a poster to promote sporting events being shown in their bars in the coming months. Taking on the theme ‘ Summer if Sport’ the poster needed to be fresh and summery whist giving a general visual nod to the array of events taking place in London over the summer months including the Euros, the Olympics and Wimbledon.

How could you forget? Especially with every retailer in the land vying for your attention. That’s why we avoided all the usual clichés when Millennium & Copthorne Hotels asked us to come up with a stylish yet eye catching Mother’s Day campaign to run nationally.

Developed in conjunction with M&Cs Corporate Marketing department, our answer was part typography and part illustration, with a hint of movie poster drama for good measure.

So why not show your Mum how much you care by booking an M&C mini-break?

A short time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, a creative comms agency called 42 Square was born. We’ve enjoyed writing, designing and building all kinds of beautiful things to help our clients get noticed and know that a brand is more than just a set of words and a logo. Your brand is the medium through which the world sees your organisation and the values you believe in.

We haven’t got light years to show you ours, and we’re sure you haven’t either, but if you have a couple of minutes to spare, we’ll give you a flavor of what we’re about by showing you how we created planet 42.

Click on this link and watch us creating our visual brand from ‘Things We Like’ (plus a few other bits thrown in for fun). We really hope you enjoy and maybe next time we can make something beautiful for you.
