Pixelated Pop Legends

CLOT Creates Blurred Michael Jackson Apparel

For the latest launch of JUICE Clothing, CLOT has created a t-shirt and hat design featuring a blurred out Michael Jackson.

The pixelated Michael Jackson t-shirt is great because while it is blurred, there is no guessing who it is. That's a sign of true celebrity status.

The t-shirt and hat will be sold at the new JUICE location in Kuala Lumpur, which opens June 20th.

Implications - This Michael Jackson pixelated t-shirt is a perfect example of mixing new concepts with familiar ideas. Fans of Michael Jackson will most likely purchase the shirt simply because of his association while the JUICE Clothing line is experimenting with innovative ideas such as pixelated prints. Corporations looking to introduce radical ideas to broad audiences can benefit by masking their messages with something familiar.
