Found these - could we sum up all of Bond Movies in the same way?

Clever guy I wish I thought of it.

The obvious one would be GF - metallic gold poster or bowler hat or silhouette of bloke flying in the air in a car chair.

Give me some ideas please and I'll have the best ones knocked by the end of the week.

    ......Gold?
    ......Diamonds?

    You'd have to go a bit less 'minimalist' and make them metallic looking. As for what was posted already, I thought it was funny how just one color can make you recognize a movie!

    Love them or not I don't really know what to make of these (the link designs), first impressions, all a bit dull, uninspiring and lifeless I'm afraid, all he's done is come up with some random film titles and put a color with it that he deems most appropriate, i.e. Clockwork Orange, lo and behold we have the color Orange, although for anyone who's seen the film, White would of been more appropriate, and also - The Dark Knight, which of course we have the color Black, nearest thing to dark one would imagine. I wasn't too impressed with his 'work' with all due respect, I'm not going to lie about it

    These could work for Bond titles, but we'd have to include more than just a color in it to get anywhere, all I saw before was all very plain and lifeless. There is room for improvement with these minimalist designs

    Clever?! That wasn't clever at all. Just a bunch of colors that could never evoke the prose and emotion of the films.

    Yes, actually I should of been more critical with those designs, but didn't want a backlash from anyone who thought they were masterpieces or should be hanging up with the Mona Lisa or anything. Actual fact they were pretty damn awful weren't they, I feel I should apologize but that's how I feel about it, just drab, banal exhibits, they were pretty poor. Sorry

    Looks like something a child could have done, had they been allowed to watch films like A Clockwork Orange. Can we agree that 'super minimalism' doesn't require any talent whatsoever? At least put some shapes in there. Super maximalist fail.

    @QBranch It's a safe bet that most kids as of 2012 have watched Clockwork Orange by now, and besides it's lost it's shock value since it's release 40 years ago and looks tame in comparison by todays standards

    I still don't know why they chose the color Orange, apart from the Film title, obviously, it's the wrong choice for it for anyone who's seen it. And yes Shapes would of been much appeciated, not just blank squares in different colors, if they do that for James Bond then people simply won't be interested

    I was referring to children younger than teens, but I'm not surprised if in this day and age they're allowed to watch that stuff too. I was 28 when I first saw that film, and based on the reaction it gave me, I wouldn't let my child watch it until they were at least in their teens. I'm really showing my age now, aren't I? I guess I'm just old-fashioned in that sense.

    I think that super minimalist thing was supposed to be a joke...

    (Also I never watched Clockwork Orange, though I did read the book. Which made me never want to see it on screen.)

    TBH I thought those were stupid. Not minimalistic. At least not reasonably minimilastic. If the kill bill one had at least a black stripe through it I couldn've gotten it. But red for American Beauty? WTF

    A red rose petal on a white background would've been an improvement on American Beauty.

    And I love how the guy talks like he's some big artist extraordinaire. You just filled in simple colors Picasso, and your barely branched off of the color wheel. *This man is the Jackson Pollock of minimalist art.


    *Not a compliment

    THIS is minimalistic. And brilliant. Immediately think Bond.

    Or just an empty gunbarrell.
    Or just a PPK
    Or just an Aston.

    But what color would Dr. No be? EXACTLY.

    Casino Royale- Poker Chips
    Live and Let Die- Baron Samedi's Hat or Tarrot Cards
    Goldfinger- OddJob's Hat
    On Her Majesty's Secret Service- Contract
    Licence to Kill- a Licence with Bonds Photograph
    GoldenEye- A Golden Gunbarrel with an eye in it
    Qantum of Solace- a black oiled turd
    The Man With The Golden Gun- a golden gun
    Tommorow Never Dies- a blood stained newspaper
    Octopussy- an octopus

    Even this is minimalist:

    To the common man it says

    "Man with gun movie" and he's like, 'I like man-with-gun movies'

    and to others its like

    "New Bond movie" and we're like, 'I like Bond movies.'

    At first I thought there was a problem with my broswer! Minimalist sure is the word of choice here.
