Title: Re: The Poster Post by: Martini...LB on March 04, 2014, 07:33:50 pm I think it is good, except for the faces top right...
Won't be seeing it though because I am going to the Classic... Only one there I think, even Fran has deserted me for some TT event. >Martini...LB Title: Re: The Poster Post by: Fran on March 04, 2014, 08:00:29 pm even Fran has deserted me for some TT event. Noooo - i am missing the Classic to go to the Southern 100 which although it is on the Isle of Man is a much more intimate affair and not on the Mountain circuit! I am missing the LM24 in favour of the TT though! You will be fine Martini - I am sure you will find a donkey with a spare hind leg for you to talk to.... :-) Title: Re: The Poster Post by: Kev_mk3 on March 04, 2014, 08:26:45 pm the faces look rubbish

The marketing blurb that accompanies the release of the poster states "This poster defines an area of rich expression aimed at a wide-ranging public by projecting them into a powerful and attractive imaginary environment", apart from utter bull*hit, does the 'imaginary environment' also not have to reflect the history as well?

I guess it went the same way as the old logo - some 12 year old in the ACO marketing dept. decided they were not 'hip' enough ........ ::) Title: Re: The Poster Post by: Fran on March 05, 2014, 04:15:56 pm Looking at the sponsor logos across the bottom of the poster it appears that Dunlop have dropped out and Michelin are now in - makes sense therefore that the bridge has gone and the Michelin scoreboard is on there. (In fact no Dunlop logo or bridge for previous 2 posters as fas as I can see - last appeared in 2011).
ACO logo seems to have had quite a few variations even in the comparatively short time I have been following - always along the same lines but slightly changing.....

F Good spot Fran - thinking about it, didn't Michelin sponsor the pit lane for the last few years too?

You will be fine Martini - I am sure you will find a donkey with a spare hind leg for you to talk to.... :-) Not sure I know what you are trying to say there Fran... well I do know but cannot believe you said it in public. Most people see me as quiet and reserved, almost shy! By the way that was very funny ;D >Martini...LB Title: Re: The Poster Post by: mgmark on March 05, 2014, 11:02:18 pm Where's the Commer?

MG Mark Exactly what I want to know ;D Phil Title: Re: The Poster Post by: Mike on March 07, 2014, 09:24:07 pm Just looks a bit washed out to me. And they can't even spell pi**ed right! Because surely they are describing the friday night party >:D

Title: Re: The Poster Post by: garyfrogeye on March 11, 2014, 06:12:53 pm It just seems to lack any kind of drama. Perhaps that's how the race will pan out too.
Why they have a group of people that look like that bloke who used to be in Westlife, Cat Deeley, a young Tom Daley and Gareth Gates on the right and also a Stargate behind the timing board on the right, is quite beyond me! Title: Re: The Poster Post by: Lord Steve on March 11, 2014, 07:48:23 pm In order to make it look more family friendly Gary. Looks very cheesy to me. I'd like to see the other race classes represented, not just LMP1. Oh, and while I've got my retro glasses on I'd like to see the old village back c/w the old champagne bar. What about the race positions announced every hour on the hour in English and commentary on the BBC World Service.

The only year with a White bar trailer ( other years black ). 400 orange caps, big stage, flying baguets, auction, vinnie's vice and a few beers. Those where the days Title: Re: The Poster Post by: Barry on March 20, 2014, 07:48:40 pm And Holland beat France at footie.
