Weekend Onesie: Bill Jones - Part 4

Weekend Onesie: 

Bill Jones

Part 4

People who check in on this blog on a regular basis know that I am a huge fan of vintage graphics. Some of the finest? From corporations looking to motivate their employees. I adore their big, broad use of color and presentation of iconic ideals, characters and images.

During the 1920s, a number of American companies produced motivational posters and cards to promote industrial efficiency and ethical behavior in the workplace. Motivational sayings were combined with high quality illustrations to provide easily readable images to convey the messages. During this time, Parker-Holladay Company, a British firm, was also producing motivational posters, featuring the fictional character Bill Jones. 

Here's more!

And there are a lot of them.

 

Simple and direct...

These graphics have become iconic.

And part of history.

Friday Fun: It's Frequent Flyer Day!

Friday Fun: 

It's Frequent Flyer Day!

Welcome to the friendly skies. 

Thank you for flying with us today.

Restrooms are conveniently located at both ends of the lighted aisle.

Selfies encouraged.

Take note of the examples below.

These frequent flyers sure seem to know how to handle themselves midflight. 

Seems their activities might inspire a bit of handling on our own part.

Just be sure to clean up before leaving.

Courtesy in the skies? 

It matters.

Spread your tiny wings and fly.

Blow a mile high.

And fly the big blue sky.
