Coudal vs Apple

[senne]

From a news-item at Gizmodo.

First Coudal stole the silhouette from Apple (Ok... Apple didn't really invent that). Then Apple stole its "new style" from Coudal?

- Coudal is a graphic design company that made this campaign for Lugz shoes.

Whatever.. Doesn't matter.

I've seen the commercial multiple times on tv, I don't see where the drama Gizmodo is looking for.

MAYBE they hired the same people? eh?

 

[MisterMe]

Yes, it is interesting that the man in the commercial is wearing the signature iPod earbuds.

 

[fryke]

No, MisterMe, _that's_ the iPod ad on the left.

The silhouette has been around for years. both organisations were not the original creators. this will go nowhere. i've seen nightclubs use it in the late eighties for tv commercials.

that psyop ad is cool, and has been arounf for years. the ipod advert is derogatary and nothing new.

i have like psyop for years, and the new ipod ad shocked me, becuase 1) it ripped off psyop, and 2) it just isn';t apples style.

 

[gerbick]

Agree with Lt. Burns... that Lugs ad pre-dates the iPod one by ages...

Graphics house that created the Apple iPod spot:
