ABOUT
Piccadilly Circus has long been one of the world’s most iconic advertising sites.
Hosting world famous brands such as Coca Cola, Guinness, Phillips, Fujifilm.
Working in partnership with Ancestry®, Ocean Outdoor and Anomaly, Blind Pig was tasked with recreating the iconic advertising landmark at key points in the 20th Century.
The Piccadilly lights open in 1949, following a 10 year blackout at the end of World War II.
Opening a window into Piccadilly’s iconic past, we journey through the advertising hoardings of the 1940s, 1960s and 1980s.
Using archive footage, the team at Blind Pig meticulously recreated 3d renderings of each sign and building facade.
