All of the thumbnail images in our catalog are beautifully gift-wrapped for your viewing pleasure!
Naturally we would love to feature perfectly clear, high resolution samples throughout our catalog, but unfortunately, human nature being such as it is, most folks will simply choose to right click and download the thumbnail, rather than fork over $8.95 (or less) for a vector EPS file or high res jpeg!
As you can imagine, we didn't spend tens
of thousands of dollars and countless hours of our time just
to provide free retro icons to internet users! We're
not looking to make a lot of money either, but we would at
least like to break even (some day) for having gone to all
this effort to make the world's greatest retro advertising
artwork available to everyone.

After a lot of trial and error, our art department wizards finally came up with a foolproof watermark system which meets all the necessary criteria:
| The watermark must... |
| A. |
employ a pattern and color scheme which integrates beautifully with the overall design and theme of the website. √ |
| B. |
be inobtrusive, so as to allow images to be easily recognized at a glance throughout the catalog pages. √ |
| C. |
be designed so that image details can be clearly seen when users click to view enlargements. √ |
| D. |
be designed so that it is impossible to extract a usable image, no matter what filtering methods are employed. √ |
If you right-click and download one of these thumbnails, you will soon see that even the most seasoned Photoshop sharpies will be unable to get rid of the watermark pattern without making a complete mess of the image. Try it just for fun. Levels won't do it; curves won't do it, and the magic wand will only succeed in cutting the image to ribbons. It's the perfect watermark! Yet it still allows users to see all the details they need to see in order to decide whether they want to purchase an image.
Happy Viewing!
And don't forget, you can always obtain an EPS vector
master file, or a high resolution jpeg of any of these images
by simply purchasing them through our Secure
Online Shopping Cart! Your support will help
us to complete the processing of thousands of fantastic retro
images we still have sitting in our archives. Naturally, our
ultimate goal is to make them all available to you,
but in order to do that, we have to first remain in business!
