‘Articulate’ ad – Cooper & Beatty, Allan R. Fleming, Jim Donoahue, 1960
Notes
A simple visual representation of the challenge of making sense out of what seems to be a jumble of letters. Over the years Cooper & Beatty’s advertising explored many variations on that theme, which, roughly translated, implied that you could count on them to visually transform your words into something more than they seemed. – Brian Donnelly
