Can I ask a stupid question - why the need for upside down London skylines? What is the relevance?

It fits in with the sky falling motif.

Nnnnope! Still don't get it. Why does something have to be upside down for the sky to fall?

Symbolism and surrealism. You would assume that the sky would fall over London and not the other way around. But if you consider that "the sky falling" is figurative speach to convey an attack on London and all things you take for granted, then the table can turn, literally, "London is Falling", "The sky is falling", hence, "London is falling", hence "London is the sky that is falling", or "London is falling from the skies". Surrealism can derive from language and produce images, that´s how our minds work when we use our (use poirot voice here) creative grey cells. Cheers. Hope that helped.

Ah - many thanks. Perfect.

Must admit to thinking I had missed a plot point since so many of the designers were all introducing this point.

Cheers.

... since so many of the designers were all introducing this point.

Which goes to prove that many members here at Cbn, having brilliant creative minds, sometimes think the same, or alike. I, for one, find it very interesting when artistic sensibilities converge to produce common ground. The London in the sky theme is a perfect example of this. As is the Bond falling from the sky theme. I just wish that the folks back at EON have the same creative grey cells. Some of these posters look perfect. Cheers Simon.

Looks fantastic!

Top kinda makes it look like Ghostbusters.

Bond must be jumping down away from the Slimer while Q readies the Proton Beam for him.

My Sean Connery 50th Anniversary Bond poster. Will work on ones for George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig soon. Back to working on the Skyfall poster.

A 50th Anniversary poster for each Bond.

That's a very cool notion. I like the sort of "now and then" concept. Nice work!

Damn cool! Cheers!

Well, here it is! enjoy!

Love it, except for the desert picture on the bottom. But the rest of it is very stylish. Oh, and the bullet one, thumbs up.

I had a hard time trying to figure out what picture to put on the bottom, I might tinker around with it tonight trying to fight a picture that could fit perfectly on the bottom. If I can't, then I think I'll just leave it blacked out with the film's poster credtis.

Honestly? It would look perfect just blacked out with the red credits. IMO of course. Cheers

I am starting to like that idea more and more now Univex. I like it a lot.

Someone should do a take on KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON, I think. :-)

[DominicGreene]

Well, here it is! enjoy!

It's OKAY, it's very messy and not well blended. Good concept, though.

If messy you mean the blood splatters on the top of the poster are to be something from the gunbarrell. I'm happy with that portion, but upon doing an update of it soon, I might replace it with the generic Gunbarrell blood. thanks.

I was going to, but you beat me to it. I was debating on having Craig or Bardem or Fiennes on the poster with your desired text. Good job. Very bright, almost 70's like,

[Captain Tightpants]

Perhaps a better KEEP CALM tagline would be "The sky is falling. KEEP CALM AND TELL THE QUEEN." because of the connection to the saying "the sky is falling - go and tell the king" (and there is currently no King of England, so Lizzie 2 will have to do for now).

[x007AceOfSpades]

I'm mapping mine out with the flag of Britain and craig in front it with "Keep Calm And Put The Kettle On"

[DamnCoffee]

I'm all for fan posters and everything but the 'KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON' posters and variations are insanely annoying now. Not a day goes by where I don't see some kind of variation on Tumblr.

KEEP CALM AND TRUST SNAPE
KEEP CALM AND TRUST ME I'M THE DOCTOR
KEEP CALM AND BE PUT IN HUFFLEPUFF.


Urgh.

I think it's safe to say that yes he will

[Mr. Blofeld]

Damn... I wanted to both bring out Daniel's baby-blues AND evoke the classic red background of the original posters. Didn't mean to make it seem like 28 Days Later. :-S
