This was a welcome page I designed for the TV3 facebook page during my time at Tour America. It’s the image that you see on a company’s facebook page before you’ve clicked “like”. As Tour America promoted themselves with TV3, I had designed several pieces for this particular September in New York campaign. These included welcome pages, profile pictures and web banners for use on the TV3 website, the TV3 facebook page, the Tour America website and the Tour America facebook page.
I was content with the end result until I noticed the striking resemblance my little American flag detail had to the Liberian flag. Which then made me pretty damn happy with the end result to be honest. Like my own unintentional little easter egg! Who’s that up on their flags and geography anyway?
But it just goes to show you how heavily we associate certain colours, patterns or emblems with different countries. I don’t think it really affected the design in any way. Sure America kinda has the patent on star(s) and stripes at this point. If anything they should do the Liberians for plagiarism! Imagine the royalties? Sweet!
Anyhoo…then we have a web banner below that I designed for the same campaign. It was a bit tricky trying fit everything into a tighter space while maintaining legibility and using the same style but it came together in the end.
