I was looking at Google Maps today to verify that there is absolutely NOTHING between my house in New Mexico and the Grand Canyon (well, no cities, no people--just lots of mountains, sand, desert, etc.). And there IS literally nothing in between!
Zooming past the Grand Canyon, I was looking at Las Vegas and then went north in search of Area 51. I was completely surprised when I zoomed in on what I thought was Area 51---and saw a huge KFC (Colonel Sanders) logo!!!
Do you see it yet?
Zooming in:
At first, I thought the government photoshopped that head to cover something in Area 51. However, apparently, KFC constructed a giant tile ad of their logo/mascot, Colonel Saunders, to “make it viewable from space”. The giant logo was intentionally constructed near Area 51 so that Google Maps visitors (and other satellite maps) would see the ad. They're calling this an "astrovertisement" and apparently "mapvertising" and "roofvertising" are trends for the future.
I wonder if there are other giant "astrovertisements"out there?
