Oscar 2008 Best Picture Poster
January 24th, 2008 by Andre Soares
In celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Academy Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled the latest edition of its Best Picture poster — not to be confused with the official 2008 Oscar poster.
Designed by Alex Swart, the Best Picture poster features a spiraling gold ribbon containing the one-sheets for the 79 best film winners, forming the shape of the Oscar statuette. The 80th best film winner will be added on Sunday, February 24, right after the Academy Awards ceremony.
Swart, head of the marketing design agency SwartAd, designed the official posters of the 73rd and 75th Academy Awards, as well as previous editions of the Best Picture poster.
The 27 x 40-inch poster is printed on premium quality, Forest Stewardship Certified paper. The poster will be available for purchase on the Academy’s Web site at http://www.oscars.org/publications/ or by calling 1-800-993-4567. Posters will be shipped in March 2008.
