Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What if companies printed their own currencies?
Do you remember all the faces on the bank notes and how much do they value respectively?
Banknotes are generally legal tender, payable to the bearer on demand, and are usually issued by central banks. Since they are often intended to reflect the culture, history, and personalities of the issuing country, the graphic design is essential to represent the right and proper image, not to mention to prevent counterfeits.
While plastic cards, online currencies, and mobile payments are becoming more popular day by day, the circulation of bank notes still shows the power and influence of the economy.
But what about “corporate notes” issued by major corporations, such as Apple, Google, Facebook or Exon-Mobile with their founders or leaders faces printed? A graphic designer came up with several of such “what-if bank notes” designs for fun.
Enjoy reading the article and seeing those images, and think who deserves such honor to be printed on corporate notes and held in wallets.
By the way, when do you think China will have a new character on their bank notes?
(Currently, all of their bank notes, regardless of the value, show Mao Zedong)
