The 2000′s Best Ads


Over the past ten years, we have all seen numerous advertisements good and bad, innovative and uninspiring. One commercial in particular that we at Tattoo thought was one of the best of the decade was the Honda “Cog ad.  The advert first launched in 2003 to promote Honda’s 7th generation Accords.  Its interesting to know that during the production of the commercial, only limited amount of CGI was used.  The mechanical sequence of the advert was put together precise positioning of the car parts.

Also, Check out Adage’s choices of commercials of the decade.

Christmas came a little earlier for us at Tattoo this year.  One of our newest clients, Hoover, was feeling very generous and sent us six of the new T-series vacuums.  This top of the line vacuum utilizes Windtunnel technology as well as a retractable cord.  Not to mention that it is cool looking as well.  We appreciate the nice gesture from the people at Hoover. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Hoover LiNX Vac

When the thought of vacuums and vacuuming comes to mind, its hardly something you think of as a cool. But The new Hoover LiNX Vacuum is possibly the coolest vacuum you will ever come across. By the appearance of the vacuum, you would think that the janitor on the Starship Enterprise would use it. The best feature of the LiNX is that it is cordless. So, you no longer have to worry about long, tangled up cords. All you need to do is plug in the vacuum’s 18 volt lithium battery and you are all set. Check out the video on the Hoover LiNX website.
