I'm sure it was a sign for Red Stripe-perhaps because I first noticed it on a rare, warm sunny afternoon in Glasgow. I always meant to grab a picture of it and it seems I've lost my chance. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3042/2655980063_34c926cce4_o.jpg A few years ago I was writing an article analysing Nike and Adidas campaigns affiliated with the FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women's World Cup and I was more than dismayed at how difficult it was to track down copies of the ads. Most of what I could recover included partial campaigns. I'd fortunately saved some hard copy versions and as you've noted, the dedication of 'unofficial' sites saved my bacon. Very apt observations above - archiving these materials gives us such a stable platform for understanding the cultural currents, let alone design trends and a chance for a chuckle now and again, too!
