Beer In Ads #1116: G-Uinness

February 28, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Guinness, from the 1950s or possibly early 60s. It’s a very minimalist ad, but I love how animated the artist made the “G” and how much it conveys with just a few black lines.

    Am I nuts or does that Guinness look just a little too “sparkling clear”?

    I’ve always liked how its described, when poured into a glass, as ‘the blonde in the black dress.’
