kicking television (Contest Winner)

Contest 3

Average Rating: 3.4

My design is an ode to a time when TV station's actually signed-off for the night while playing the National Anthem and displaying the image of Marines planting the American flag atop of Mount Suribachi right before going to static. This usually occurred after a back-to-back episode of Love Connection. It's a tribute to growing up in the 70s, being a latch key kid, watching WAY too much television and to Poltergeist fans everywhere. "Do NOT go into the light."

  17. Nike sort of already did this... so its a bit of a stretch to call it your own. http://www.sneakerobsession.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/channelzero1-1.jpg

  18. Love the design. Brings me back to a time when meatloaf was gourmet. And for the sneaker police who has too much time on his/her hands, don't you know great minds think alike?

  26. come on people, this is the most annoying part of a TV, when a channel comes up like that, very simple, never would be worn.
