for anyone working in the visual, connex was probably the holy graal of the accounts. for me - just a small puzzle(d) piece connex was simply the stuff of legends. people working with and for them were - as you point out - darn lucky bastards. of whom you hit the top 10 :D but that’s another story.

along the same lines, even for somebody that’s not in the visual, seeing the old connex logo and some of the old clips - connex play for instance - sends shivers down the spine. You ad-people should be proud of having created something that sticked well deep into some of us’ brains - at least for those, like me, for which connex was part of our youth …somehow…in some way
well, i’ll stop being pathetic - good job, guys!

Connex Play Lab was my favourite, I remember when I bought my first phone, a Nokia 5110 (the most popular among students at that time) that I so much enjoyed that phone ring that my pals eventually asked me to change it because they were so sick of it :))

And after all these years, hearing that phone ring from time to time, in the subway or in the street, brings back memories :)

I’ve appended the director’s cut and a behind the scenes edit, both courtesy of Richard Reens — thank you.

Enjoy — I know I did.

I was working at Grapefruit Design in 2000/2001. Connex was their biggest client at that time, and boy, did we work our ass off… There were so many things I did, watched and learned during that time, I can honestly say that my career as a graphic designer was influenced by Connex.

Yeah, it was fun. A huge energy behind this account. Endless nights. And it produced advertising that still cannot be matched today. I was talking these days with a 20 years old that wanted to get into advertising (client service). She asked me to tell her some of the campaigns I’ve worked on. I’ve started to tell her about Connex. She knew none of the campaigns. Sad. I felt so old. Anyway, commercials are like news, they have a short life. Maybe that’s why Kit choosed to go into design, it stays in people life longer:)

Thank you Vali for joining in.

Wild days and endless nights. Heaps of print ads and TVC scripts. Gazillion presentations and Aneta making us rethink and redo everything until it’s perfect. Rock and roll like there was no tomorrow.

I’d do it again.

Hi guys.

I remember thinking “I’d love to get some sleep now. I hate doing ten projects a week, but damn I’ll miss it!”
And I do miss it, because we were all passionate and maniacs with details, while nowadays I can’t find a lot of people (both clients and creatives) with the same drive and passion.
Thank you, Kit, Vali and Aneta, for keeping my standard so high. My life could have been much easier without it, but who needs a boring life? :)

Liviu, look at the Making of: we were suicidal and young.

It’s been an honor serving with you, Sir. Thank you.

Hey, I don’t remember ever forgetting that Connex had some blue in the logo! But regardless, it was fun and heart warming to read this blog. I believe Connex represented the same things to many people as each of you have mentioned in your correspondence. Difficult, challenging work for sure. But exciting and rewarding when everything came together. And you knew when it was right. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

Noroc,

Ted

Mr. Lattimore, designer’s courtesy always prevents me from arguing about colors with an ex-client I had dinner with only once (in Cannes that is, if you remember).

That being said, thank you for the kind words.
