   ESPN magazine…winter x games…..seems like the Zune is getting some nice promo’s from the sports world…

   I promise its from ESPN.  

   Its from the Jan.28 edition if anyone is looking at magazines.  I just thought it was such a cool ad.

   Wow, that’s pretty kool, I remember that I had a Game Informer subscription and they had Zune[30GB] ads in like every one.

   I’ll have to check around for a magazine with an ad. I have seen MANY tv ads for Zune. CSI Miami reruns on A&E (channel) regularly have Zune ads.

   Not sure if anyone else watches this show, but I was watching Chuck tonight on NBC, and in one scene they zoomed in on a shelf in a store called Buy More (play on Best Buy) and the shelf was loaded with Zunes….thought it was pretty cool…

   It’s also on the back of the SI this week too–same design.

   I kinda like the dual colors motif.

   Adam: Ya, my bro get’s si, and he saw the page up on my comp and showed me the actual page.

    That’s a sweet ad, love the lines and colour choice.
    I love the direction ms is going with the art direction for the zune, …who needs lifeless silhouettes.

    I don’t think I’ve seen any other print ads. It does make me wonder who MS considers their target demographic, though.

    wetworker & others: if you like this ad just wanted to give you a heads up that I did a background using the file from zune site. Uploaded to the background section.

    There was also one on the back cover of the January 2008 issue of Maxim. And here it is for your viewing pleasure.

    God….there seems to be a zune trend going around lately hehe!!!Good to see zune taking the credits it deserves,through publicity

    Kaseyart: I just saw your background using that last night, it’s well made. Were you the one who uploaded all the tye-dye pics also?

16. kaseyart January 25th, 2008 at 1:51 pm 16

    Soccerfreak: I did not do the tye-dye backgrounds. I think rock4christ did those

17. Soccerfreak24 January 26th, 2008 at 12:14 pm 17

    kaseyart: Oh ic, and do you by any chance know what font is used for the whole "got zune" name, like in the "win a free zune" pic.. and what a lot of people use with backgrounds?

18. kaseyart January 27th, 2008 at 1:27 pm 18

    Soccerfreak:  I found one that was close. Have since forgotten the name, but will get it when I am at work.  I took the Christmad background and grabbed the text from that and used it.

19. Soccerfreak24 January 27th, 2008 at 1:41 pm 19

    Kaseyart: Oh ok, yah, I tried using the "gotzune" from one of chris’s, but The problem is the backgrounds don’t match, and i’m not much for photoediting so I had trouble getting it onto my new pic’s.

    That picture would actually make a nice background for my 80…*Robs*

    EDIT: @Kaseyart: Could you link to that background you made?

21. adamross55 February 1st, 2008 at 5:25 pm 21

    You know what i never thought about it much but that picture would make an awesome background if i had a zune to put it on. lol.
