<funhouse: ad graveyard>Shed your campaign!
Rejected Print ad, 1999. Art director/concept: Dan Leadbetter. Cause of death, in Leadbetter's words: "Here's an ad I came up with back when the Heaven's Gate mass suicide went down. I sent it in to Nike, but never heard back. It would have been a killer campaign! I heard the image was floating around as wallpaper at Nike Hqts for awhile, until some bigwig saw it and sent a memo saying anyone caught with that image would be terminated. Ironic, huh?" Similarly, this version from David Gallagher of San Francisco. Over the past two years, we've received dozens of versions of this ad, all claiming to be "first."MORE » Reset bookmarks to www.zeldman.com. Ahead Warp Speed. | ||||||||||||
