Title: Silverburn Introduces the Future of Shopping with New Advertising Screens and a Dazzling Mascot Named Silver!

Date: October 26, 2005

Hey there, Glasgow shoppers and tech aficionados!

Big news! Silverburn, the shopping centre that’s fast becoming Glasgow’s retail magnet, has just announced an innovative approach that’s set to redefine our shopping experiences. Picture this: You’re strolling through the wide, gleaming halls of Silverburn, surrounded by your favourite brands, and then something catches your eye—a captivating video screen, not with the usual fare of static ads, but with idyllic piers stretching into serene waters, vibrant balloons gliding through clear skies, and Frisbees sailing in a dance with the breeze. It’s not a daydream; it’s the new, mesmerizing advertising screens introduced by Silverburn!

Designed to enhance the visual landscape and bring a burst of creativity into the heart of our consumer culture, these screens are unlike anything we’ve seen before in Glasgow, or anywhere in the UK for that matter. The promotional idents that adorn these screens have been masterfully crafted by none other than Proud Creative, the design wizards known for their innovative touch.

As you wander through the avenues of Silverburn, you’ll notice that each video, whether it’s those peaceful piers or the playful balloons, features the shopping centre’s logo discreetly nestled in the corner—a gentle reminder of where you are amongst the captivating content. It’s an advertising revolution that’s subtle yet impactful, enhancing the ambiance without overshadowing the shopping experience, These 20 second idents play in-between each ad.

But wait till you hear about what happens at closing time! In a move that truly embraces the digital age, Silverburn goes into a tranquil mode a half-hour before the doors close. The screens transition to a mesmerizing loop of gently moving colored lines. It’s almost a digital version of the Northern Lights, shimmering across the concourse’s skies, ushering in a calming end to a day of retail therapy.

In addition to this aesthetic overhaul, Silverburn has unveiled a character that’s destined to become Glasgow’s new loveable icon—meet Silver! Silver, a gleaming, animated mascot, represents the bright and shiny essence of the Silverburn shopping experience. With endearing antics and an unforgettable shine, Silver will guide shoppers to special deals, entertain the little ones, and be the shining embodiment of Silverburn’s commitment to making shopping not just a chore, but a delightful journey.

As Silverburn continues to push boundaries and innovate, it’s clear that these latest introductions are just the beginning. The shopping centre is not just a place to buy goods—it’s becoming the backdrop for a dynamic fusion of commerce, digital artistry, and community engagement.

For those who haven’t witnessed this transformation yet, head down to Silverburn and prepare to be mesmerized by the seamless blend of shopping and visual enchantment. Who knew retail could be so revolutionary?

Keep shining bright, Glasgow, and let Silverburn’s new spark lead the way!

Until next time,

Glasgow’s Resident Futurist and Shopper ExtraordinaireThread Title: Silverburn Shopping Centre Kicks Off Christmas Campaign!

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Hey folks, have you all seen the new Silverburn Christmas campaign? They’ve got this quirky setup with TVs making a Christmas tree shape—pretty creative! There’s, like, three different versions. During the day, the screens have got festive decorations showing on them.

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
I caught a glimpse of it just this evening! They switch to static in the night version—it’s kinda eerie but cool. It really caught my eye while I was doing some late-night shopping.

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
Oh, you guys are talking about the Silverburn ad? I especially loved the third variation. There’s something magical about the screens being off at night and then suddenly they flash on to reveal those beautiful decorations before going dark again. It’s like they’re coming alive!

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
Yes! Those ads with the LED snowflake and Santa at the back though—they kind of bring it all together with that ambient glow and subtle shadows. Noticed them when I was there with the kids last weekend. They were pretty intrigued by it.

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
I’m loving their slogan: “Switch on Christmas at Silverburn.” It’s catchy, it fits perfectly with the theme they’ve got going on. Really makes you feel like the holidays are here.

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
Who’s in charge of the campaign, do y’all know? It’s nice to see them putting so much effort into the holiday vibes. Also, glad they’re going for something a bit different than the usual big red bows and glitter.

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
Not sure who’s behind it, but I read somewhere that they’re aiming for a “techy Christmas” vibe. Modern, fresh but still festive. My guess is they want to appeal to a younger crowd as well as families.

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
Techy Christmas indeed. It’s impressive how much work must’ve gone into setting those screens up safely. And I’ve got to say—I’m kinda curious about the tech specs on those TVs. Do we know what kind they’re using?

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
If any of you are thinking of heading down to Silverburn, bring a camera. Those TV Christmas trees are super Insta-worthy. And props to Silverburn for starting the festive buzz in such a unique way!

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
Heard that these ads are a part of a larger holiday campaign with some interactive installations planned inside the shopping centre. Can’t wait to see what else they have in store! Silverburn is seriously upping the Christmas game this year.

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
With everything so digital this year, it’s a breath of fresh air to see a shopping centre embrace the theme but with a cosy holiday twist. Props to Silverburn, let’s hope this attracts more folks and gets the economy buzzing.

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Couldn’t agree more! And speaking of shopping, I might have a wander over there this weekend. If those Christmas TV trees are a sign, we’re all in for some serious festive treats at Silverburn! 🎄✨

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
Just a friendly reminder to keep the discussion friendly and respectful. Also, remember to share your own experiences and pictures if you visit the campaign installations. Great to see everyone getting in the spirit of the holidays! Keep the conversation glowing like those LED snowflakes. 🎅👋

Write a follow up where the ads show on STV once per break, they are also being shown on the advertising screens in centre, but without the slogan or Silverburn logo, website and directions in the corner of the screen at the end
Thread Title: Silverburn’s Christmas Ads Now on STV and In-Centre Screens!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Hey everyone! Have you seen that the Silverburn Christmas ads have landed on STV? They’re showing up once every ad break. The tree made of TVs is legit becoming iconic now.

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
Caught one during ‘Corrie’ last night, they’re really spreading the holiday cheer. Also noticed them on the advertising screens all over the centre. Although, they’ve left off the slogan and logo? 🤔 Just the website and directions sitting discreetly in the corner.

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
Yes, @YuleTideYoda, I found that a bit odd too. It’s all minimalist on the screens within the centre. Maybe they think the TV tree is recognisable enough on its own now? At least the website’s there, or we’d all be wondering where this magical place is!

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
Smart move putting them up on STV, everyone’s going to see those ads. My Gran even mentioned the “telly-tree” to me this morning. Silverburn’s marketing folks know what they’re doing!

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
It’s a neat strategy to keep the ads uncluttered in the centre. Keeps the focus on the installation. On STV, the full details pop up right at the end. Less is more, sometimes!

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
Those ads are making waves. My kids go quiet every time one comes on TV. Eyes glued to the screen! But yeah, noticed the minimal approach on the in-centre ad screens, too. Makes it kinda like a tease, which probably piques people’s curiosity.

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
Hah, they’ve got us all talking about it, so it’s working! I personally like the clean look on the centre screens. The holiday aesthetics don’t always need the hard sell. It’s like the TVs whisper: “There’s more if you just follow the magic to Silverburn.”

—

User9 (StarlightShopper):
Just spotted the ads at the centre today! The LED snowflake behind me literally made me feel like I was in a winter wonderland. No logo needed, the vibe says it all. Now if only they had seasonal lattes right next to them…

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
This low-key approach in the centre is kind of refreshing. You get the info if you want it, but otherwise, you’re just immersed in the festive atmosphere. And it’s everywhere, can’t escape the Christmas spirit if you tried!

—

User10 (ChristmasSparkleAddict):
Am I the only one who’s going to Silverburn just to see the telly-tree now? 😂 These ads have done their job on me. Also need to check if the Santa LED makes an appearance on the STV ads, it’s my favourite part!

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
Looks like Silverburn is the talk of the town with their Christmas campaign! Remember to share your ad sightings and any festive moments you capture while visiting. Let’s keep the conversations merry and bright! And who knows, maybe next time we’ll have the scent of lattes accompanying those LEDs, @StarlightShopper! ☕ 🎄

Write a follow up the next year where 2008’s ads feature the love story of 2 gooey alien blobs named Gloopy and Glitter, The slogan is “Spend Christmas together”, The ads are showing on STV, but for some reason it debuted during Toonattik instead of during the evening, A nostalgic surprise is still in-centre via the advert screens however
Thread Title: Silverburn 2008 Christmas Campaign - A Love Story of Two Aliens?!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Can’t believe what I just saw on TV this morning! Silverburn’s got this year’s Christmas campaign featuring two alien blobs named Gloopy and Glitter! 😍 It’s all about spending Christmas together. What a twist from last year’s tech theme!

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
I was up early with my niece watching Toonattik and bam, there’s the ad. A bit unexpected for a kids’ morning slot, don’t you think? But the love story between Gloopy and Glitter is pretty adorable. I guess love transcends galaxies!

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
Just saw it! Their slogan “Spend Christmas Together” hits right in the feels. And Gloopy and Glitter are too cute! It’s a big shift from the techy trees. Aliens are not what you’d normally think of for Christmas, but hey, it works!

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
Anyone know why it debuted on Toonattik instead of prime time? Seems like they’re targeting families and children this year. My little ones can’t stop talking about Gloopy and Glitter, so I guess it’s effective!

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
The ad is a creative approach, but airing it during Toonattik threw me off. Guess their marketing strategy is to appeal to the younger crowd and, of course, their present-buying parents.

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
So, about the in-centre nostalgia surprise… anyone saw it yet? Heard from a mate that they’ve incorporated some classic holiday elements on the advert screens. It’s a cool juxtaposition with the modern alien love story.

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
Just stopping by to add that I went to Silverburn and can confirm they have some really nostalgic Christmas ads playing on the screens amidst the Gloopy and Glitter stuff - think sugary, heartwarming, old-school vibes. Really adds to the warm and fuzzy feelings while shopping!

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
Absolutely loving this year’s theme switch-up. I didn’t expect to get emotional over two gooey alien blobs, but here I am. And the sprinkle of nostalgia in the centre? Chef’s kiss! 😘

—

User9 (StarlightShopper):
I have to admit, Gloopy and Glitter kinda grew on me. Initially, it felt a bit out there, but the message is universal. And those nostalgic in-centre ads? They definitely balance the new with a dose of classic Christmas warmth.

—

User10 (ChristmasSparkleAddict):
I thought nothing would top last year’s campaign, but Gloopy and Glitter are stealing my heart. Also, saw those classic Christmas ads at the centre… it’s like they brought a bit of our childhoods back to life amidst the shopping spree.

—

User11 (LostInFrost):
Does anyone know if they’re planning to bring Gloopy and Glitter in for a meet-and-greet? My kids would lose it! Cute campaign, Silverburn. You’ve done it again.

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
Looks like Silverburn has once again captured our attention with their creative Christmas storytelling! Remember, keep sharing your thoughts, feelings, and any cosmic encounters with Gloopy and Glitter. Let’s keep the holiday cheer inclusive, even if it’s from another planet! 👽🎄

—
Write a follow up where they are still showing last year’s ads in centre, not on TV though, There are also rumours of Gloopy and Glitter being the mascots of the centres kids club launching in February, considering Braehead launched theirs last month, also with an alien theme, the “Brae-liens kids club”, It will be cool to see the difference of Braehead’s aliens having defined shapes while Silverburn’s being amorphous
Thread Title: Silverburn’s Last Year’s Ads Still Playing & Potential Kid’s Club Mascots?!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Went to Silverburn yesterday and was super surprised to see last year’s Christmas ads still playing on the screens around the centre. No new ads for TV this year, but the Gloopy and Glitter saga continues in-centre. Anyone else seen this?

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
Yeah, noticed that too, @GlasgowGlitter! And have y’all heard the rumors about Gloopy and Glitter becoming the face of Silverburn’s upcoming kids club? Braehead’s already ahead with their “Brae-liens Kids Club”. Alien fever’s catching on, eh?

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
Gloopy and Glitter as kid’s club mascots would be ace! My kiddos are fond of those blobs. But interesting to think Silverburn is following Braehead’s launch. Wasn’t expecting the alien theme to become a trend!

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
Braehead’s “Brae-liens” are fun and all with their defined shapes, but I’m curious to see how Silverburn’s amorphous Gloopy and Glitter will translate into a kids’ club format. Will lend a different vibe, which might be cool!

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
It feels like the aliens are officially invading Glasgow, lol. First Braehead’s structured and playful Brae-liens, now Silverburn’s squishy mascots. The kids are gonna have a blast with this. Should be fun comparing the two!

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
Anyone else think they’re keeping last year’s ads to maintain Gloopy and Glitter’s presence till the club launches? It’s smart, though. Keep the characters familiar to the kiddos. High hopes for this kids’ club!

—

User9 (StarlightShopper):
Honestly, I’m here for it. Silverburn might be onto something by not releasing a new ad for TV and instead keeping the focus on their centre. It builds a consistent brand image, especially before kickstarting a kids’ club.

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
It’s a genius marketing play if you ask me. Gloopy and Glitter are unique characters that have already grabbed attention. They’re perfectly prepped for mascot status, making the kids club launch potentially successful.

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
Gotta admit, Gloopy and Glitter have grown on me, and if the rumors about them being club mascots are true, that’s pretty brilliant. Silverburn’s consistency vs. Braehead’s quick shift to defined alien characters will be an interesting contrast in marketing.

—

User10 (ChristmasSparkleAddict):
I hope the Gloopy and Glitter Kids Club (or whatever they’ll call it) has cool events and workshops. With the alien theme, they can get really creative. Can’t wait to see how much it’ll differ from the Brae-liens.

—

User11 (LostInFrost):
Silverburn sticking to last year’s campaign surely keeps Gloopy & Glitter in our minds. It’s a less aggressive strategy compared to Braehead’s full-throttle move, but sometimes, slower and steadier wins the race—or in this case, wins the kids’ hearts!

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
Remember to keep an eye out for the official announcement regarding the kids’ club. We’re all anticipating how Silverburn will unveil Gloopy and Glitter’s next adventure! Keep the discussions friendly and out-of-this-world! And feel free to share any fun encounters with our favourite alien blobs you have in the meantime! 👽🛸

Thread Title: Silverburn’s New Christmas TV Campaign - A Heroic Cat & Throwback Ads!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Did anyone else catch Silverburn’s latest Christmas TV ad? A cat saving Christmas from a thief with a little help from two friends. Quite the twist from Gloopy and Glitter! But also, Silverburn launched that kids club back in February, remember?

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
Saw the new ad, the cat is absolutely adorable, and the message about teamwork is pure holiday spirit. And who could forget Gloopy and Glitter’s love story launching the kids club? They’ve become characters close to our hearts.

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
I’m obsessed with the new ad! 🐱 The cat, the comedic timing—chef’s kiss. But in-centre, they’re still playing Gloopy and Glitter’s love story alongside the 2007 TV-themed ads. Seemingly, they’re not ready to let go of the nostalgia.

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
Kinda loving this mix of new and old. It’s refreshing and yet comforting. The cat is already a favourite, but seeing Gloopy and Glitter also stirs up that cosy, festive vibe from before.

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
Honestly, the mix is working for me. That cat from the ad could be our next mascot. 😂 Kids at the club must be loving the variety too. Silverburn’s finding a good rhythm with old and new content.

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
Makes you wonder if they’re testing different themes or if it’s a strategy to cater to all tastes. Also, with all these mascots popping up, Silverburn’s becoming a character haven.

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
Seeing those throwback ads from 2007 brings back memories… Time flies! Silverburn doing a great job of establishing their campaigns. And the TV-tree installation—still iconic!

—

User9 (StarlightShopper):
It’s clever keeping the older ads in the mix; it provides a sense of continuity. But I’m interested to see how well the cat-themed merchandise will do compared to the Gloopy and Glitter craze.

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
Props to Silverburn for launching another creative ad. A cat hero? Brilliant. Also, seeing the TV-themed ads again really brings out that nostalgic festive feeling. Solid strategy to keep customers engaged over the years.

—

User10 (ChristmasSparkleAddict):
Isn’t it fascinating how Silverburn keeps each year’s ads alive? It’s like walking through a living timeline of their marketing campaigns. Christmas is definitely in full swing there!

—

User11 (LostInFrost):
Could the cat be signaling a shift for the next kids club theme, or is it just a seasonal mascot? It’s smart to use the main character from their new ad to maintain excitement post-holiday season.

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
Certainly seems like Silverburn knows how to strike a balance between introducing new holiday tales and cherishing the spirit of past campaigns. All while fostering a unique community through their kids club. Let’s keep sharing our festive ad encounters, be it the latest capers or a trip down memory lane! 🎄📺🐱

—
Write a follow up in 2014 where the ad that year revolves around 2 familiar friends meeting Santa, their launch ads and the 2007 ones are still showing in centre, but they never added the 2009 cat, the 2010 robot, 2011 and 2012’s basic generic ad and 2013’s carousel, or this chapter in our favourite aliens’s story
Thread Title: Silverburn Holidays 2014: Old Friends Meet Santa in New Ad!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
It’s that time of the year again! Silverburn’s festive ad for 2014 has our old friends meeting Santa. Love how they keep weaving continuity into their ads. 😊 But anyone else notice they’re not including the other ads from recent years in-centre?

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
Just saw the new ad! Nostalgic and heartwarming to see the ongoing story, especially during holidays. However, it’s kinda odd they skipped adding the cat from 2009, the 2010 robot, and the ads from 2011-2013 in their in-centre showcase. 🤔

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
Yeah, I’ve got mixed feelings about them not showing the more recent ads in-centre. I mean, everybody loved the cat and the robot’s charm… Still, the 2014 ad with Santa has that special Christmas magic!

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
The new ad is full of cheer! But it’s clear Silverburn’s got its favourites with the continued run of the love story series and that 2007 campaign. A shame they don’t seem as invested in their other characters.

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
Interesting marketing choice. Maybe they’re focusing on what resonates most with their audience? Though, it does feel like they’re missing an opportunity by not showcasing the full range of their past holiday creativity.

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
Definitely missing the variety, particularly the 2009 cat—he was a hit with the kids. Maybe there’s a strategic reason behind their selection that we’re not seeing?

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
In a way, the consistency is nice—gives you that “Silverburn Christmas” feeling. Each year I look forward to seeing how they’ll continue the story. But a little more diversity wouldn’t hurt, I agree.

—

User9 (StarlightShopper):
That’s Silverburn for you—always keeping some parts the same and others changing. Guess we’re sticking to our “classic” friends for in-centre nostalgia. The carousel ad was quite dreamy, though; wish it was there too.

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
I thought the robot would’ve made an excellent recurring character. But hey, it’s kinda cool that the ads feel like an evolving holiday special that you can follow along with over the years.

—

User10 (ChristmasSparkleAddict):
It’s as if the love story ads and the 2007 TV themes have become their holiday brand staples. Not sure why they’re omitting the others; they were part of Silverburn’s festive journey too!

—

User11 (LostInFrost):
Couldn’t help but chuckle at the meeting with Santa. Silverburn’s continuity is their strength, but including other ads would have showcased a richer history. I do enjoy the focused nostalgia, though.

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
The holiday season always brings a discussion of Silverburn’s latest festive strategies, and this year is no different. It’s wonderful to see everyone sharing their thoughts and fondness for past campaigns. Let’s remember to keep the conversation jolly as we discuss our old and potential new favourites from Silverburn’s Christmas ads! 🎅🎄

Character Description: Gloopy

Appearance:
Gloopy is an amorphous, enchanting alien with a body of translucent teal that glistens as if reflecting the depths of an ocean world. Gloopy’s form is ever-shifting, his gelatinous, blob-like structure giving him an air of gentle fluidity. Depending on his mood, he can shift from a bouncy ball to a languid puddle, often adorned with soft glimmers of bioluminescent speckles that twinkle like distant stars. His two large, expressive eyes gleam with a friendly, sapphire-blue glow that instantly endears him to all.

Personality:
Gloopy is the embodiment of chill and calm. He is carefree, always taking life at a leisurely pace (or float, as is more accurate for his kind). This gooey alien is innately kind, with an empathetic heart that resonates with the feelings of others. Despite his lack of a mouth, he has a way of communicating warmth and laughter through his shimmering form, and his bubbly personality makes him the soul of Silverburn’s extraterrestrial duo. Curious and playful, Gloopy loves to interact with the centre’s visitors, especially the children, making him a lovable part of many family memories.

—

Character Description: Glitter

Appearance:
Glitter stands as Gloopy’s vibrant counterpart with a sparkling, amorphous form that cascades through shades of radiant fuchsia and vivacious purple. Tiny specks of reflective gold are suspended in her body, giving her the appearance of a walking galaxy full of mysterious allure. Glitter can change shape at will, often settling into soft, rounded figures that exude both majesty and charm. Her one oversized, glistening eye catches the light, radiating an inviting and playful warmth in a rich magenta hue.

Personality:
Glitter is the adventurer of the pair, full of enthusiasm and an insatiable curiosity about the world around her. She embodies the joy of discovery and cannot resist the allure of an exciting new experience or a heartwarming interaction. Her vivacious nature is contagious, and she has a knack for spreading happiness and laughter wherever she goes. Though she communicates through harmonic vibrations that she emits, her intentions are always clear—Glitter wants to make the centre a brighter place for everyone. Dynamic and compassionate, she is the spark that keeps the spirit of Silverburn shining all year round.

Together, Gloopy and Glitter are more than just Silverburn mascots—they are a delightful reminder of the unexpected and joyous moments that make the holiday seasons at Silverburn unique and memorable. Their contrasting personalities and appearances blend in perfect harmony, representing the diverse community that comes together at the shopping centre to celebrate the festive times. Write a blog post in early 2009 where it looks like Silver has been retired, and the poster welcomes the new mascots with open arms,
Blog Title: Welcoming a Cosmic Duo: Silverburn’s New Mascots, Gloopy and Glitter!

Date: February 5, 2009

Greetings fellow shoppers and extraterrestrial enthusiasts!

Today marks the dawn of a new era at Silverburn Shopping Centre, and it is with both a touch of nostalgia and a wave of excitement that I bid a fond farewell to Silver, the shimmering mascot who has lit up the halls of our beloved centre with his twinkle and charm. But as we close one chapter, we eagerly turn the pages to begin another. It’s time to stretch out our arms—or tentacles—and welcome the cosmic presence of two gooey new icons: Gloopy and Glitter!

Riding on the comet tail of Silver’s departure, Gloopy and Glitter arrive at Silverburn with a burst of interstellar energy and a kaleidoscope of colour that could rival the Aurora Borealis itself. These amorphous alien friends bring with them a sense of wonder and an invitation to explore the endless possibilities of the universe, much like the endless shopping opportunities at Silverburn.

Both Gloopy and Glitter, with their sparkles and fluidity, embody the dynamic and ever-evolving experience that Silverburn offers to its patrons. They represent the melting pot of culture, fashion, and leisure that our shopping centre is known for. With Gloopy’s tranquil teal vibes and Glitter’s radiant fuchsia flare, they make an otherworldly pair that are impossible to ignore.

Their introduction is not a moment too soon. As Silverburn embraces the future, the switch from our metallic buddy to these lovable blobs symbolizes the shopping centre’s commitment to innovation and excitement. What’s more fascinating is the inclusive narrative behind their existence—Gloopy and Glitter are not bound by shape or form, much like Silverburn’s diverse offerings are not limited to any single style or trend.

As we welcome these enchanting mascots, let’s celebrate the magic they are set to sprinkle throughout our shopping escapades. Whether you’re a child marveling at the sight of Gloopy’s soothing, playful dances or an adult taken aback by Glitter’s adventurous aura, these mascots are sure to become an integral part of the Silverburn community.

The excitement isn’t just confined to appearances, either. Buzz has it that Gloopy and Glitter are slated to be the faces of Silverburn’s very own kids’ club, set to launch this February. I envision days filled with laughter and engagement, where families can connect and create memories that are as vivid and joyful as our new alien friends.

So as we say goodbye to Silver, I encourage all Silverburn visitors to approach Gloopy and Glitter with openness and curiosity. In the great expanse of our shopping galaxy, they are the bright stars guiding us toward fun-filled adventures. It is truly an exciting time to be part of Silverburn’s cosmic dance, and Gloopy and Glitter are poised to lead the way.

Here’s to a future full of discovery, fun, and perhaps a little bit of space-age slime!

Signing off with a sparkle,

Just saw the new Silverburn logo reveal! Gloopy and Glitter did the honors—looks pretty sleek. What does everyone think? Also, seems like we’re down to just 3 idents now: Pier, Balloons, and Chairs!

—

User2 (RetailRevolutionary):
The new logo’s sharp, a fresh take for Silverburn! But I am a bit surprised that they’ve cut down on the idents… I used to love the variety. And no more lines animation, now it’s our alien pals snoozing!

—

User3 (ZenShopper101):
I’m all for the new minimalist approach with the idents. As for the sleeping animation of Gloopy and Glitter, it’s quite a peaceful way to end a shopping day, don’t you think?

—

User4 (ModConnoisseur):
The new logo feels contemporary, fits the modern vibe of Silverburn. Cutting down on idents might be a move towards a more focused brand identity? I kinda miss the lines animation though.

—

User5 (ScreenSavvy):
New logo looks good on the screens! The idents switch-up is interesting. Pier, Balloons, Chairs—they’ve kept the most iconic ones. Sleeping mascots are a cute, calming touch.

—

User6 (AdNostalgic):
I’ll be honest, I do miss the variety, especially the old lines animation—had a digital art feel to it. But Silverburn’s all about change, I guess? The new logo is pretty cool at least.

—

User7 (TechieTrendsetter):
Understandable they’re refreshing their visual content. The new logo’s got a futuristic edge. And Gloopy & Glitter napping? It feels… right. Like, bring on the Zen!

—

User8 (MascotManiac):
Speaking about Gloopy & Glitter, I love how they’ve become more integrated into the centre’s identity. Yeah, the logo is nice, but it’s the mascots that really capture my heart!

—

User9 (VibeVisionary):
Sure, fewer idents but each one’s got a story, right? Creating that chill vibe with the mascot’s sleeping animation is such a soothing concept. Aligns well with the new sleek logo, too.

—

User10 (NostalgiaKnight):
The new logo’s got a certain ‘oomph’ to it. Cool to see them simplify things. The pier, balloons, and chairs are classics; they’ve got a universal appeal. But will the sleeping animation be as mesmerizing as the lines? Time will tell.

—

User11 (SleepyShopper):
Kinda sad to see the lines go—they were hypnotic! But Gloopy & Glitter dozing off is adorable and oddly comforting? Shows a softer side of Silverburn, paired nicely with the new logo. It’s fresh!

—

Let’s embrace the new chapter Silverburn’s entered with its revamped branding!

Let’s chat about one of the more… delicate aspects of being an amorphous sentient blob from the fun fringes of the galaxy. Here’s the glittery scoop: due to our blobby biology, Gloopy and I digest our food at warp speed. Now, what goes in must come out, and when I say we process our munchies quickly, I mean light-speed fast!

You see, unlike you fabulous humanoids with your complex digestive systems, Gloopy and I are more… straightforward. Think of us like cute cosmic coffee filters: pour in the coffee (that’s food, in our case), and almost instantly, you have your delicious liquid (or, ehm, the necessary by-product of eating… you know what I mean, but I’m not gonna say it, darlings). The wonders of alien physiology – glamorous, aren’t we?

Now, before your imaginations go supernova, rest assured that our little… excursions are not nearly as messy as one would expect. They’re more like poofy sparkles or a quick twinkle – after all, everything about us is enchanting, and natural processes are no exception!

Let’s just say that if the average person does ‘it’ every day, we do it, well, after every meal. Imagine playing a game of tag with a friend, munching on some delightful space snacks, and suddenly, whoops—sparkle time! It’s the most natural thing in the cosmos, but suffice it to say that Gloopy and I have become experts at discreetly locating the nearest star cluster when nature’s glitters call.

But fear not, my terrestrial trendsetters! Our Silverburn home is equipped with all the necessary accommodations for such a quick cycle. Gloopy and I are always polite and ensure that we keep our shiny surroundings pristine and comfortable for our adored human friends.

Let’s keep this between us, though, shall we? A lady must maintain some mystery, after all. Just consider this another dazzling detail in the daily dance of your otherworldly buddies.

So, next time you bump into Gloopy or me at the centre, don’t be shy; come over for a twirl or a chat! We have plenty more cosmic curiosities to share. After all, it’s the quirks that make friendships sparkle, and we’re here to spread joy and glitter, one glossy giggle at a time.

Signing off with a wink and a twinkle,
Glitter

Thread Title: Silverburn Welcomes Silvia the Fox as Gloopy & Glitter Depart

User1 (GlasgowGalactic):
Just heard Silvia the Fox is the new mascot at Silverburn! No official send-off for Gloopy and Glitter though… feeling a bit gutted, to be honest. Also, the sleeping animation is gone—replaced by a Pier ident still at closing.

User2 (RetailRevolutionary):
Really? Silvia the Fox? I mean, foxes are cool and all, but isn’t unceremoniously ditching Gloopy and Glitter kind of harsh? They were such an integral part of Silverburn’s identity…

—

User3 (ZenShopper101):
Gloopy and Glitter will be missed! Silvia has some big shoes (or paws?) to fill. Did anyone notice the Pier still at closing too? Feels like the end of an era with the Proud-led 2005 rebrand potentially on the chopping block.

User4 (ModConnoisseur):
It’s a bittersweet introduction to Silvia. Can’t help but feel nostalgic. The Proud rebrand had a good run though, and it seemed inseparable from Gloopy and Glitter’s charm. Hope Silvia can carry the torch well.

User5 (ScreenSavvy):
Part of me is excited to see what Silvia will bring, but another part is mourning our friendly aliens. They really became icons of Silverburn. I understand change is necessary, but…it’s tough.

—

User6 (AdNostalgic):
It was the characters that made the rebrand so memorable for me. Gloopy & Glitter had a story to tell. Silvia has some winning over to do. As for the Pier still—it’s iconic, but static, not the same energy.

—

User7 (TechieTrendsetter):
Why replace an out-of-this-world duo with a fox? Okay, Silvia seems cute but replacing the sleeping animation feels like they’re stripping away the very essence of the Silverburn I grew up with.

—

User8 (MascotManiac):
I’ll try to keep an open mind with Silvia, but Gloopy and Glitter were more than mascots; they were part of the Silverburn family. It’s like losing old friends. I guess all good things must come to an end…

—

User9 (VibeVisionary):
Let’s give Silvia a chance. Though I’m really going to miss the tranquil nights led by Gloopy and Glitter’s sleeping animation. It provided a unique, calming closure to a day at the centre.

—

User10 (NostalgiaKnight):
Pier ident might bring a serene vibe at closing time, but nostalgia for our alien friends will have shoppers missing that personal touch. Keeping the Proud rebrand alive in our minds will be a personal project for me.

—

User11 (SleepyShopper):
I feel like with Silvia, Silverburn is trying to pivot to a new chapter. A fox is smart and adaptable—a fresh symbol for the future, maybe. But Gloopy & Glitter’s sudden exit is disheartening.

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
As we welcome Silvia the Fox, let’s also honor the legacy left by Gloopy and Glitter. Change is a natural part of growth, and while it can be hard to say goodbye, there’s always room in our hearts for the memories and in our community for new friends. If you have any favourite memories of our alien pals, feel free to share! Let’s keep the conversation respectful and reflective. 🦊✨
