FIFA World Cup Murals for ESPN

Posted by rod - 07.06.2010

Absolutely awesome FIFA World cup murals by ESPN representing each 32 nations that are taking part in the competition. The murals will appear in publications, subway platformsÂ and billboards. ESPN worded with Wieden+Kennedy ad agency and AM I Collective a group of artists based in Cape Town, South Africa. The murals are inspired by the style of Ghanaian movie posters from the 1980′s via mymodernmet and Fubiz

The Serbian one would be offensive to them because it shows their country without kosovo, and they still think its part of their country. What a stupid idea for theirs
