Creative Criminals

Here’s an old campaign which is worth posting. Eric Cantona, a former French international footballer who played for Marseille, Leeds United and Manchester United, was the face of Liptonic (now Lipton Ice Tea) the end of the nineties.

Last week we’ve ran across these two incredibly sexist commercials for Goodyear. Back in the sixties everybody believed women are bad drivers, just look this woman’s facial expressions.

It is rarely seen; cartoon characters playing the lead in a commercial. What’s even more surprising is a comeback of a certain campaign after several years. Well it happened to the brand Tetley, where Gaffer, Sydney and many other characters were the face of the tea manufacturer. After 10 years they’re back, and how..


The admiring thing about this campaign is that Tetley and MCBD decided to not change their characters. No 3D or other special effects, just as it used to be.. The following video shows how they revived and after the jump you can see some of their vintage adverts.
Check out their site as well, it is promising..

This is the last Vintage Tuesday in its row.
On October 13th the Vintage-saga began with ‘Smoking is good for you’. From then on Creative Criminals provided their viewers weekly, vintage compilations of lingerie, old posters, christmas ads, beers & spirits, cars, etc..
Now, 6 months further, we decided to give Vintage Tuesday a rest. We’ve made 26 compilations, with over 175 carefully selected vintage ads.



Vintage lovers, have no fear! We will still continue to supplement our ‘Vintage-Category’ with some of the best campaigns ever made.. Below you can see only a fraction of our vintage-material.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Horro, you either love it or hate it.
The constant striving of the makes to elicit the emotions of fear, horror and terror from viewers. The first depictions of supernatural events appear in several of the silent shorts in the late 1890s.



Since then, many horror movies have been created to scare the viewer. And for every movie, comes a poster to promote the horror. Here below you can find a fraction of all the horror-movie-posters.
If you have any other eye-catching posters, let us know! We’ll add them to our selection!
Enjoy or be terrified!

Armory and guns, they cause more misery than joy. If there is one wish that a lot of people would have in common, than it would be next to ‘world peace’, ‘burn ALL the guns’. And we can’t blame them..
Why do we actually need guns? Because others have them? Lame excuse! Yet there are a lot of proponents for guns. No, not the scum and criminals, but the hobby-shooters…



For them taking off their guns would be like playing football without a ball. It’s kind of hard to shoot an animal with a catapult isn’t it?
For this weeks’ Vintage Tuesday we’ve selected some armory/gun ads. Revolvers, shotguns and snipers..
Check it out!

The summer is coming..
Many can’t wait until the season begins. BBQ’s, holidays, swimming, tanning, …
But for many the summer isn’t all about fun. They’re realizing that in a couple of months they will have to look fit and in shape, if they want to lay on the beach to rest and tan..



For years now, products and fitness-clubs are advertising to attract people to use their product or service. It comes in all shapes and sizes. We’ve selected some of them for you, beginning in the year 1920 and ending up with a woman in the eigthies, that probably would have beaten us all back then..
Enjoy!

When searching the internet after some more “new” material for our Vintage Tuesday, we found some crazy examples of how future used to look like..
Some of the things we’ve found were pretty much it what we have nowadays (f.e. the TV>). But these wouldn’t be interesting to see, would they?



A flying bus, a gigantic computer with horsepower in it and a robot that could type, none of it is too crazy for our gold old Vintage Tuesday…
Enjoy!

Throughout the years mankind found better and faster solutions to get from point A to point B. Riding a horse, by boat, by bike, by train, by car, by airplane, … we’ve seen it all!
What will the next step be? By rocket or by teletransporter? Who will tell..



For this weeks’ Vintage Tuesday we’ve selected 6 vintage ads promoting different ways of transportation. Bicycle – Boat – Train – Bike – Car – Airplane.
You can clearly see not only the way of transport changing, but also the way of promoting it..
Enjoy!
