This one require that you get up, go outside and actually DO SOMETHING in the real world. But that’s not stopping a few dotcoms from making signs that that are large enough to be viewed from a satellite with their brand on it.

From Google’s page on the event in Sydney Austrailia:

So when you see the Google branded plane flying overhead this January 26th, hoist a sign, arrange your family into a fun formation or just get a bunch of friends together to wave.

Some people worked quite a bit to get signs ready for this Google Fly By.

There are several examples of this tactic working including:
Target store in College Point, NY

for KFC:

and of course a penis or 2 like this rooftop,

or this spot in arizona

Other interesting ideas include:

1. Hi Mom!
2. A sign on your ex’s roof with the word “Slut”
3. An arrow pointing to that asshole neighbor’s house with the caption “Unsecured wireless network here!!”
4. “Fuck off Google”
5. “Mostly Harmless” (my favorite)

Obviously, the key here is to make the signs BIG and to have an easily recognized logo.

We’re not far from a future where most all major companies put forth the effort to make sure their buildings can be easily identified on satellite maps. The people who do it first are the ones that will be mentioned time and time again in case future studies.

If you’re gonna try this, remember – North is up.
