How to get more people to use the stairs...
How about this as motivation to exercise?

Would you take the stairs more often if you had access to THESE stairs?
If they can put a warning on a pack of cigarettes...
How's this for advertising?
I came across this advertisement for a "skin cancer blanket" on the site webdesignerledger.com. There is no other information on who made the blanket. However, the site questions whether this is an "ambient" ad, and I think it is.
If you do not know what an ambient advertisement is, it is one that is placed on unusual items or in unusual places you would not usually see an ad.
Now what makes an ambient ad, you say? Well, it should be in-your-face, like in the advertisement above; it could also be provocative, as in this one for 3M Security Glass:
Ambient ads can be made with real products, unlike television, so it has the power to shock and awe.
Lastly, because an ambient ad can be situated in a real environment, it can be used in a location-specific way, such as in this ad found on scampblog.blogspot.com:
Wow...who says graphic designing is boring? I tell you, my fellow classmates-you are only as limited as the confines of your imagination!
Now let's get to it!

This company combined the Old World with the world of today for their advertisement.
By going back to the beginning of motion (or at least implying as much), and applying it to what the company is accomplishing today, I believe that the graphic designer shows the company's improvement in their control of motion by mechanic control of their machines.
I saw this ad in the November edition of Packaging Magazine. You are looking at a small clear carton. This ad caught my eye because the fingers forming a frame represents the "viewfinder" approach that am instructed to use when drawing or painting in order to gain knowledge of object's relationship to each other on the picture plane. (The packaging is a clever product also).

Guess That Logo!
So, you say you can guess the company name of any icon, eh? Well, I've got an app for you!
It's called "Logo Quiz" for Android, by Bubble Quiz Games, and there's ten to fifteen levels to guess.
Here's a screenshot:
