A few years back I modeled for iGo car sharing. If you’re not familiar, iGo is a non-profit car-sharing service, providing cars you rent on a half-hourly basis across the city. Gas & insurance is included, and there are lots of cars in the area. They were trying to let DJs and musicians know that cars are free from midnight until 6am, so it would be like there’s a DJ-discount, ha!

Anyway, so the above photo is the original flier with a closeup of my head. Decent design, but then a few years later they decided to change the layout, as shown below. Why, you ask? I think I might have figured it out…

new-front

Well they put some grass in there, which is a bit odd, but I think I know the real reason. You see, they also re-designed the back. Here’s the old version below:

old-back

And here’s the new version:

new-back

Hmm…why is that car hovering above that grassy field? Now THAT’s pretty strange…I wonder why they did that? Well if you look at the front of the flyer and hold it up to the light, you see this:

new-front-trans

Yep.

I am thoroughly mesmerized by your rack.

It was just enough to convince me to sign up for membership with them.

It’s not an anatomically correct interpretation, might I add.

Forget the rack, get a load of the pinion!

(Get it? Rack and pinion? Never mind.)

This is too hilarious. I think my friends at CNT need to see this!

The iGo logo also seems to be have been Obamacized

Well I have volunteered at the festivals and such with I-GO and I do believe they refer to them as rack cards?
