Campari · 1912
Analysis
A red-haired figure wraps around a lamp post in a Campari poster. The simple silhouette links the brand with animated nightlife.

Why it worked
The black figure and red hair separate clearly from the warm background. Large lettering makes the brand readable without explanatory copy.
Lesson
Use a distinctive silhouette and limited colors when an ad must read from a distance.
