Connect4 HX

3D & Brand

Connect4 HX

A custom 3D version of Connect 4 produced in Holiday Extras brand colours for use at internal company events. Modelled and rendered in Blender, the piece was designed to sit within the HX visual identity while being immediately recognisable — a fun, on-brand object that brought personality to event spaces.

Brief and concept

The request was simple in brief but demanding in execution: make Connect 4 feel unmistakably Holiday Extras. Brand colours, materials, and proportions were all considered to ensure the final piece looked like it belonged in the HX world.

Modelling and materials

The game was modelled at accurate proportions in Blender — grid, frame, discs, and stand — with HX colour-matched materials applied across every surface. Plastic, metal, and translucent disc materials were developed for physical plausibility.

Lighting and render

A clean studio lighting setup was used to produce renders suitable for print, digital, and screen display — keeping the background neutral while the brand colours did the work.

Event integration

The rendered game appeared across event signage, screens, and social posts — becoming a recognisable visual anchor for the internal events it was created for.

Outcome

A production-ready 3D Connect 4 game render in HX brand colours, used across internal event materials and displays.
