Carving Steel with Nikken!

Posted: 08/08/2011

We were asked by Nikken to create a logo animation for them that reflected what they do. Nikken manufacture metal cutting tools that are used to create a wide variety of cool products including Apple iPhone & iMac, along with parts for Formula 1 racing cars and Passenger Jets. Our logo animation shows a block of metal being carved by a Nikken tool which results in a 3D embossed Nikken logo.

Rob Prior, Group Marketing Manager at Nikken says: “Working with Pixel DNA is extremely rewarding. Your ideas are carefully considered and enhancements and options offered to ensure you achieve your objectives. The finished animation is just what we needed as an introduction and a finale to videos of our products in action. We can also use it on presentations and at exhibitions to ensure we attract the attention of those who pass our stand. Many thanks for all your hard work and valuable input in to our project.”

A Big Weekend with Nickelodeon!

Posted: 26/10/2010

Pixel DNA has created the brand & title sequence for Nickelodeon’s new weekend show ‘Jamie & Anna’s BIG Weekend’.

The title sequence is combination of live action footage of the shows presenters, combined with Motion Graphics, which result in a fast paced journey where we follow the presenters making their way across a construction site, dodging slime and other falling obstacles!

Pixel DNA were tasked with designing all of the shows design elements from the logo and the title sequence through to all of the shows graphical content and promotional materials.


David Kangas, Series Producer says: “Once again Its been an absolute pleasure working with Marc and the team at Pixel-DNA. The benefits are immediate and so is their work! Their reliability and quickness to respond with a willingness and enthusiasm to always go way above and beyond the brief, delivering truly awesome results without fail every time is nothing short of spectacular! Pixel DNA we salute you for all your amazing work for Nickelodeon, and for helping bring Jamie & Anna’s Big Weekend to life with such a visually inventive look and feel! Here’s to the next Project!”

Toonatik Goodbye

Posted: 13/07/2010

We’ve recently helped GMTV Kids bid a fond farewell to the long running Saturday morning show ‘Toonattik’. Fronted by the very talented and funny Jamie & Anna, and backed by an especially creative production team. It was sad to be working on our last project for Toonattik, but we at Pixel are confident that all the team will move on to bigger and better things, and wish them success in whatever they all choose to do next.

The final sequence we were tasked with creating for the show was a wonderfully colourful ‘toon’ world, with a central helter skelter that is revealed as the secret base of the ‘Toonattik’.
