Isn't this at The Licensing International Expo, where they're showing off TDKR and The Avengers etc?

So...does that mean that we're going to see something cool from the Expo? Or, is it just that teaser poster?

It takes place within the Alien Universe. Scott said we'd recognize strands of Alien's DNA so to speak. Plus, many actors, and others, have alluded to it being related to the original, if not a direct prequel. I'm definitely looking forward to it. If you're not, then that's your prerogative. As for the poster it's a decent enough teaser given we're a year out but nothing to get too worked up over i don't think.

The Art-Deco style font and the name PROMETHEUS seems to be a direct reference to Rockafeller Center and the statue of PROMETHEUS by Paul Manship!!! Ok, so WHY?!
The famous golden-bronze statue outsideof Rockafeller Plaza is of PROMETHEUS overlooking the ice skating ring.  It's a very curious reference since while ART DECO was 20th CENTURY (FOX?) thing, it doesnt really apply to outer space or does it?

Im not about to host pics of that now, but look up the font for Rockafeller Center and the statues of Prometheus.

Could it be a reference to the illuminati or something along those lines? Maybe the Company? I dunno. It's a very curious reference.

"Prometheus, who had fashioned man out of clay, saved humanity by teaching man how to use fire. Thus, Prometheus became a champion of humanity and the first "sculptor" of man.

Manship's Prometheus is seen as he descends from Mount Olympus, encircled by the ring of the zodiac. Almost identical to the statue at Rockefeller Center, though diminutive in scale, this maquette captures the stylized strength and gravity-defying element of Paul Manship's creative process. It is undoubtedly a unique symbol of American art and American history."

That's just it. You are not. That is THE FONT used for ROCKEFELLER CENTER. That statue of PROMETHEUS is beyond famous. They want people to put 2 and 2 together. You think art deco, you think ROCKEFELLER CENTER.  This was definitely intentional.
You think 'PROMETHEUS' you think ROCKEFELLER CENTER. It is a legendary work of art. No way that's just a coincidence.

You should pat yourself of the back! Good thinking.

Come on! You seriously think the Art Dept on a film like this wouldn't make that connection?

Also, I just thought of this, the inscription above that statues head, at ROCKEFELLER CENTER is written in that FONT!! It's in huge letters across the top of the promenade. Trust me, I work there from time to time in the NBC building. I wish I could remember what the f**k that inscription says, right now. I dunno that it would relate but boy do I wish I could remember it.

You do know the statue I'm talking about, right?

Im looking at the picture right now. Its the same font. I dunno what you are looking at.

It just says "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends."

The font is undeniably identical. The R's are quite specific and recognizable when compared. I'm telling you dude. Ive spent countless lunch breaks in Rockefeller Plaza looking at it.

Ridley is a graduate of an Art Institute. Im sure the Art Dept of Prometheus knows what they are doing when they tap an ART DECO font and attach it to the word 'PROMETHEUS'!

Different E's. Lots of Sans-Serif fonts look the same. Could almost be any of these:

a:) it's probably not exactly the same.

b.) it could only be a stand in title font, ( things could change)

c.) its not the only building made in the 30's that had art deco stylings, the empire state is the first one that come to my mind,

i think its very premature jump to conclusions about the fonts meaning, i'm only looking at it from a stylistic point ( which i might add is a very tenuous one ), and certainly not a metaphorical one.

Ok but I think you are crazy saying the font is removed. That font is next to identical. One can imagine that statue below the title on that poster easily. It is clearly art deco and referenced here. Ridley is a graduate of an Art Institute. Im sure the Art Dept of Prometheus knows what they are doing when they tap an ART DECO font and attach it to the word 'PROMETHEUS'! What are you talking about? The phrase even talks about Prometheus. Do you think the title has no meaning either?

I think maybe you are reading into my words too much. I'm not trying to suggest that Rockefeller Center or the 1930's necessarily have anything to do with the movie. Im just saying they are referencing it for some reason. Post-modernism pretty much assimilates anything at this point. It could mean anything. The ships could have an art deco design for all I know...

Do you realize the cultural relevance of ROCKEFELLER CENTER? There is no way in hell, that the font isn't connected in spirit to that statue of PROMETHEUS. It's one of the most famous statues in all of history, and one of the most infamous myths of all time. Do you really think anyone working in the art dept of a film called PROMETHEUS would be unaware of the connection b/w that myth and that statue?

Let me restate that I work in the NBC building there from time to time. These people know what they are doing.

Look at the R's and E's. Different font.

There is also Prometheus statues in Chernobyl and at the entrance of the vatican museum as well as countless others. Prometheus is no different to any other greek god, they have been imortalised in art over and over. Not seeing the connection only to Rockafella.

What ghost said ^ and

I never said the title had no meaning. Its clearly connected to the myth Ridley has said so himself.

Whilst it's a great theory, and who knows you could be right, it just reeks of wild speculation as its still too early to tell anything.

I'm sorry i brought it up  :)

Right you didn't though. I hadnt read your post when I mentioned it.

I have seen the differences and they are mild. The font is still uncannily similar. Those are stylistically art deco fonts. You cannot attach ART DECO to that word and NOT be pushing the stylistic link.
Yes PROMETHEUS is a popular statue but that particular statue is well past formidable. It is beyond famous. It is arguably one of the most famous statues ever created. You are thinking too narrowly. WHEN PEOPLE THINK STATUE OF PROMETHEUS, THEY THINK THIS STATUE. NOT THE ONE ANYWHERE ELSE. THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY STATUE OF PROMETHEUS IN ROCKEFELLER PLAZA THAT TOURISTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD SPECIFICALLY TRAVEL TO SEE. PEOPLE DONT VISIT THE VATICAN AND ENVISION THAT STATUE OF PROMETHEUS. They think of the Sistine Chapel, and etc.. This is one of the most famous statues in the world. Possibly in the top 5 and certainly in the top 10.


Also, you dont make much sense, you agree about the ART DECO but think it just happens to be a coincidence that it connects to what is likely one of the most famous art deco works of art, in existence. Even if it happens to have the same title and mythical attachment? That's just silly. Oh yeah that legendary art deco statue of PROMETHEUS in one of the worlds biggest tourist attractions. Yeah we weren't trying to assimilate or borrow anything there. Just a coincidence? Don't you think that sounds a bit absurd?

The actors have expressed specifically that the story relates to the story of Prometheus bringing fire from the gods. How can you think the idea to use the art deco font does not relate to that statue? It's silly. Of course thats the stylistic reference. Come on. You're under and over thinking it.



Title: Re: Prometheus Banner...
Post by: Ghostface on Jun 15, 2011, 05:58:34 AM
Personally when someone says "Prometheus" I think of the character of Greek mythology, not a statue made of him. And as I said, the font is just a fairly standard Issue Sans-Serif font, I use dozens of them daily. Nice theory though, but I'd say it's too early to speculating and to do so would be clutching at straws.

Just a coincidence? Don't you think that sounds a bit absurd?

Yes i do think its a coincidence regarding your association to the Rockefeller buliding.

Art deco as a style is based off classical egyptian, Greco-Roman, and aztec styles, which is said to originate in the popular interest in archaeology during the 20' and 30's. Promethus is a classical greek myth ( oh shit a connection :o ).

The artist who designed the font would have used the art deco style because its a more modern and somewhat futuristic design reference in regards to classical greek art, combine that with the fact that fonts like futura, Gotham ( a derivative of futura, which was used as a basis for inception font as i referenced in my first post ) are all from the same time period, are extremely popular right now. 

You know what sounds absurd?

Could it be a reference to the illuminati or something along those lines? Maybe the Company? I dunno. It's a very curious reference.

It is 30's art deco no doubt, and almost exactly (probably is) of the Prometheus font.

I think we've gone overboard on this - lol - going back a few pages to all the references to the font being a reference to a statute of Prometheus. True or not, the way i see it, the film is already titled Prometheus which is reference enough.

Yeah only I didn't say thats what it is. This is just harmless speculation. You people are reading way too much into what Im saying. Im just saying it is a reference.
You may think of the myth, I do as well, but there are many many people out there that think of that statue. Geez. Get over it. The differences you are pointing out are frivalous. Any reference to the word PROMETHEUS with ART DECO is a reference to that statues and once again.. This is NOT the first time that para-phrasing has been used to address what the plot is about.

Is this all just because you'll be upset if it doesnt pertain to a spaceship? I mean, maybe it still does. Im not pretending to know anything and Ive made that clear. Could we all act like discerning adults and try-on open mindedness for a day or two. Just let it rattle around..who knows why they chose to reference that with THIS poster but the art dept certainly thought through the reference, no question.

You addressed me similarly prior to that. I dunno where my slight rumination about possibly making the Art Deco reference the Company got so misconstrued. "I dunno" being the operative words.

"Could this be?" being the other three.

I'm just acknowledging the connection from ART DECO to PROMETHEUS, as others had, and furthering with the fact that the same description of the myth was also stated by FASSBENDER.
How did that get so blown out of proportion? People keep acting like I proposed to know something about the plot. Where did that come from?

I also noticed the possible reference to the MONOLITH, and also think the METROPOLIS reference is interesting as well. Love METROPOLIS.

How many times does this have to be said? Prometheus is a new story within the alien universe, with ties to Ridleys original film. Ridley has said this on record, Fassbender has confirmed the connection of the film to others, as have Noomi Rapace and Idris Elba. However much not a formal prequel, Prometheus is a re-imagining and relaunching of the alien franchise with a different se of characters which basically frees up the mythology from Ripleys story,

Nice work, I think it still needs something extra though...the single light shining on the real one adds like another dimension to the image, a deeper feeling than looking at a simple black background of whats hiding in the dark...a boding sense of dread (or something like that ;)).

I think if you replicated the light source on the black background with some slight grain / noise and even replicated the slight real world lens flare it would be a sweet looking digital recreation of the Prometheus teaser poster ;D ...ohh and dont forget the text at the bottom :P

In regards to all the speculation on references as such, I don't see or think of any of that...I just think "that looks cool" and gives me a sense that its going to be a sweet movie, a film that takes itself seriously and that isn't interested in trying to gloss up and cater for a wider more mainstream fan base / market in the name of making money.

QuoteThere is just so much going on in this banner that I know this movie will be interesting.

I can't relate to this as there basically isn't anything actually happening in the banner, it doesn't show anything about the movie except going on the font type you can say for sure that it's sci-fi and being made by Ridley, it should be good sci-fi 8)...for me I just get an overall sense or feeling of something from it and an impatient wish that it would hurry up and get to 2012 already :D

Bingo. For all we know the design was whipped up in two minutes so the studio could have something, anything to represent the film at the expo and build a little buzz.

It's part of the fonts design, and common in other art deco fonts.

Okay.  I have no idea why,  but the font that was used in the mockup is starting to have a very uncanny effect on me.  It's starting to remind me of the jetsons for some reason I can't explain.  The slightly altered font used in the photo makes up for that.

I actually altered the font to match the poster, so it's almost identical, the gradient is giving it that effect, something I don't think the original has, hard to tell from the photo.

In all seriousness though; what would this forum be like without Predxeno?  64% less interesting by my calculations.

Futurism influenced many other twentieth century art movements, including Art Deco, Vorticism, Constructivism, Surrealism and Dada. Futurism as a coherent and organized artistic movement is now regarded as extinct, having died out in 1944 with the death of its leader Marinetti, and Futurism was, like science fiction, in part overtaken by 'the future'.

Nonetheless the ideals of futurism remain as significant components of modern Western culture; the emphasis on youth, speed, power and technology finding expression in much of modern commercial cinema and culture. Ridley Scott consciously evoked the designs of Sant'Elia in Blade Runner.

The futurist movement ended because all the futurists became Nazis and the Inglorious Basterds killed them.

Well der!... :P

Quote from: Valheru on Jun 16, 2011, 07:52:27 AM...the single light shining on the real one adds like another dimension to the image, a deeper feeling than looking at a simple black background of whats hiding in the dark...a boding sense of dread (or something like that ;))....I think if you replicated the light source on the black background with some slight grain / noise and even replicated the slight real world lens flare it would be a sweet looking digital recreation of the Prometheus teaser poster ;D ...
The poster itself is obviously a plain black background but the design team would have taken into account how it was to be displayed and designed with this in mind...if it was to be displayed in an outdoors environment under sunlight it would look completely different as this one would look completely dull and uninteresting in full sunlight...the lighting adds a lot of atmosphere and mood and this needs to be replicated in a digital remake to capture the true essence of the moment in the photo.

This is exactly what I was talking about compared to the plain black example, as said the font just needs some tweaking and it's a near perfect reproduction. I think something else that could enhance the poster is the ever so slightest blue steel hue added to the polished text and that ever so slight you almost miss it lens flare so that you almost feel like you are looking at the actual poster...its the small details that make the difference 8)

Note to the artist on the above: nice work but I think the light effect needs a little toning down now as it's made the image to light overall and lost it's dark "feel". You also forgot the tiny text at the bottom...but I wouldn't worry too much about my notes, I AM a picky bastard ;D

Valheru

yeah sorry bout that, i must be mentally retarded that i haven't read every single post... especially not yours!

why dont i put a bullet in my head.

oh and it doesnt make any sense to me, that it was supposed to be that way - while this was the first time it was on display, this is probably a promotional poster that will be used in many other places where they won't have this kind of light. i think you're reading too much into the whole thing. and it doesn't make it more mysterious or anything. it's just a rather plain poster that keeps to what ridley and the crew have been doing so far - basically giving away nothing about the story or the (potential) aliens.

Hey, I may have gone a bit overboard :P (since it obviously annoyed the heck out of me) but I do have a point don't I? Your post in a sense was a rhetorical question since the answers are all there for the reading, so it really is a pointless post and a waste of yours and my time.

Im not trying to over analyse the poster like some, I simply looked at it and got a feeling from the design and setting that seemed to fall in line with what I already felt about the movie from what I have read and know about it so far. I am grateful that people have taken the time to try and recreate it digitally to capture that feeling. It may not invoke the same feelings for you, as it's a personal case of how you interpret things but it seems enough people feel the same to go to the effort of recreating it.

So again, sorry for the rant...it just annoys me that all these people have taken the time to start from the start and respond to each other in a discussion but you just expect to butt in and have people take the time again to explain it all just for you because you can't be bothered starting from post 1 like everyone else had to...it's like que jumping, so get back in line :P
