Wishing you a Zooming good, socially distanced festive season!

We were in a magical mood when we came up with the idea for this small festive treat. We realised that we’d need to #thinkcreative this year about how we could celebrate the season of goodwill.

We wanted to do something fun that would bring people together without breaking any rules, while being a little out of the (gift) box!

So, we came up with the idea of creating festive fairytale-inspired Zoom background designs with a topical twist.

Which one will be your favourite?

Little red: making a socially distanced grocery drop at grandma’s

Ruby slippers: there’s snow place like home

Roaring fire: the three bears are keeping their celebrations to just the family this year having arranged a Zoom call with the Goldilockses, which they’re getting ready for (wink!)

Just click on the thumbnail below and then ‘Save As’.

There’s plenty of on-theme things to spot or play ‘I Spy’ with in each background, so you can have at least several whole seconds of fun testing your and your colleagues’, friends’ and family members’ powers of observation too.

We’d love to know which design sparked your interest. You can let us know by sharing your appreciation via LinkedIn or Twitter using the hashtag #ThinkCreative – or emailing us at [email protected].

Warm wishes for the season,
Team NEO

*It should be possible to use the backgrounds with Zoom and Skype, essentially any video chat app with background options. Also, and this is a top tip for those of you who video chat regularly and are partial to using a background, we’ve found that it pays to invest in a small green screen.
