In honor of the highly anticipated World Cup, India-based marketing and advertising agency Digitally Inspired Media has created a series of bold graphic posters that pay tribute to eight star players of the tournament.
Featuring well-known and celebrated sportsmen like Luis Suarez of Uruguay, Mesut Ozil of Germany and Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal, these posters are topped by the titles of blockbuster films—each player is paired with the movie that best describe their “dedicated traits”.
For instance, while Wayne Rooney is “The Lone Ranger”, Lionel Messi has been dubbed “The Lion King”.
A geometric crystal design has been used to illustrate these players, “symbolizing the presence of a singular, strong inner core with an outer surface that is capable of transcending boundaries and achieve the impossible, much like our heroes who give everything they have for the spirit of the most beautiful game ever played”.
View the rest of the posters from this “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: World Cup 2014” below.
