The below images have been floating around the internet and I couldn’t resist adding them here for today! If you haven’t seen them and are struggling to decipher what these are, here’s a clue: Cartoon characters.
Produced by German advertising agency Jung von Matt, this was a print advertisement for Lego and I think they did a smashing job.
I love how the agency reduced the form of each cartoon family and stripped it down to a column of color. It’s interesting to see how much our brain needs to go on before we instinctively know who those characters are. And once we’re hit with that a-ha moment, our eyes and senses adjust themselves; dredging up memories of long forgotten characters.
Yes, it’s true – we’re inexplicably bound by pop culture.
Did you manage to guess the characters behind each image? I can imagine these lot would be more easily identified by those who were born in the early 80s, like I am! If not here’s your answer:
{From top to bottom: South Park, The Smurfs, The Simpsons , Lucky Luke and the Daltons, Asterix and Obelix, Donald Duck and Nephews, Bert and Ernie, and Ninja Turtles!}
