Getty Images' Watermark In Real Life

For those of you who don't know this. Getty Images is one of the most famous image banks out there. Naturally, the low res previews of their stock photography always have the Getty Images watermark on them.

Now, Getty takes the watermark to the streets for their most recent advertising campaign

They recreated it in glass and placed it infront of many monuments and attractions around Germany, along with a simple message: "All the images you can imagine".

Although I think the concept is pretty cool, Im not very sure about its execution. I mean there's always that awkwardly protruding pole that carries the glass "watermark".
