“The outdoor for your kids. The museum for their video games.”<\/em><\/p> Advertising Agency: LatinWorks, Austin, USA About 3 years ago I posted Le Gentil Garcon’s Pac-man skull<\/a>. Gentil created the Pac-man skull back in 2004 in collaboration with a paleontologist to get all the small details correct. It was simple, iconic, and anatomically amazing.<\/p> It quickly became popular and made its way around the Internet, bouncing from inspiration blogs, to online art magazines, through social networking sites, and beyond.<\/p> Now, this wonderful piece has landed in the center of an advertisement and I’m not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, I can see how this seemed like a great concept. I’m in advertising and am guilty of using artist’s works for inspiration as well. But after seeing Gentil’s piece 3 years ago, learning about how it was created, and then seeing the journey it’s taken around the Internet, I have to say that seeing it in this ad somewhat devalues it. All that creative work done by the artist is now tied to a silly line of copy “The outdoor for your kids. The museum for their video games.”<\/p> The people viewing this ad, probably for a duration of less than 5 seconds, will never know the work put into that original Pac-man skull.<\/p> What do you think?<\/p> Pac-man skull by Le Gentil Garcon<\/p> [Spotted by Eric P.]<\/p><\/div> “The outdoor for your kids.
