Check this out for graphic paint splash: The new [PUMA advertising campaign's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-your-way-campaign) slogan is '[Puma](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-wild-campaign). Complement your character.' It was created by Dhanank Pambayun, an Indonesian artist.

Puma shows [fabulous color universes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-cruiser-sneakers) which I assume should signify that the trainer fits your world, whatever color you are. But then again, there are only four color ways. Guess we can't be to colorful then.

**Implications** - In contemporary society, it is difficult for companies and products to stand out. Providing promotions and products with a burst of color is one way to gain a consumer's attention as they move through their busy life. Corporations should consider the ways in which their products will gain recognition in the context of the current fast-paced culture.
