'Lost' posters: The best? Or the best ever?

Categories: Advertising, Lost

lost-poster-contest_lUh-oh, looks like my collection of Lost paraphernalia is about to grow: This new poster from British designer Olly Moss is the coolest freaking thing I’ve seen in years. (Time to get out more, Marge!) Behold the Saul Bass-ian glory of a John Locke poster.

This is the second in a 16-poster series (the first is this Hurley-themed edition) that will no doubt wipe out my meager savings. I particularly like the cheeky URLs for the first two posters, ActuallyItsKetchup.com, which Hurley said to Ana Lucia in “The Lie”, and ThatAndBasketWeaving.com, which Alex says to Sawyer.

PopWatchers, I am loving this poster campaign like a squirrel loves a french fry. Here’s hoping there’s a Doc Jensen image on the way…

    I love Saul Bass so that Locke poster is made of win. The Hurley poster though is a bit sloppy… is it inspired by another artist too?

  • Mary

    Those are awesome! Look forward to seeing the others (no pun intended!).

    Love the Locke poster – it reminds me of a Hitchcock movie. Can you imagine Hitchcock directing a Lost episode – it would be epic! I agree about the Hurley poster; I don’t really like it and it doesn’t look like Hurley.

    I like the old school look and the Vertigo movie poster feel to it.

      Saul Bass created the title sequences for most of Hitch’s movies. So that’s why you guys are seeing the Hitchcock vibe.

    My favorite Lost related posters are the ones looking like 70’s magazine ads for the Dharma Initiative. Some guy on flikr made them (or at least posted them) http://www.flickr.com/photos/hotmeteor/sets/72157615214095434/detail/
    I can’t remember where I originally found this. Jeff, maybe you already posted them before, but aren’t they great?

  • Amelia

    Ahhh, I thought Jeff posted this. Well, Margaret, have YOU seen them before? hahah!

  • Hersh

    The Hurley poster was done by an Austin artist named Tim Doyle! Great guy and I’m happy to see his work associated with such a cool project…

  • topazbean

    That is awesome.

  • Shamrock

    I want a Juliet poster.

  • Thad

    Look good but they don’t even hold a candle to True Blood season two’s teaser posters. Sorry

  • Steve

    Well, that was a nice little underground thing while it lasted…that whole one poster. I was able to order the Hurley one a few days after it was released, and shockingly, this one is already sold out.

  • Lynny

    Thanks for the tip. Just bought them to decorate the guest room!

  • Shasta

    Waiting for a Ben poster… Or, even better, Ben AND Locke poster. A sassy odd couple.
