The series consists of bright banknotes that are each an homage to different innovators in the business world. While the series' Apple-themed note is a 50-unit bill with a greyscale image of Steve Jobs, its [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rival-peak)-inspired bill is a 100-unit note. The latter features an image of CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a blue color scheme, reflective of the social media site's famous brand identity. Some other CEOs featured in this art series by graphic designer Jade Dalloul include those inspired by Google, [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-canada-art-series) and Shell founders which are all seen on bills with color schemes corresponding with iconic branding. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ceo-inspired Currency Art:** Creating art through re-imagining banknotes with CEOs as strong industry leaders opens up opportunities for more innovative ways of promoting business influence. - **Iconic Brand-themed Banknotes:** Using brand models as design elements for banknotes offers new ways to explore brand exposure and business innovation. - **Personalized Business Banknotes:** Customizing banknote designs based on company executives or insiders can foster a stronger sense of brand identity and corporate culture. ### Who This Affects Most - **Graphic Design:** At the intersection of graphic design, art and business, new artistic techniques can arise which showcase innovative designs that promote industries in a visually-compelling way. - **Banking Industry:** By bringing focus to the world of banking art, industries in the banking area can be encouraged to explore new ways of promoting brand values or identities through creative designs. - **Tech Industry:** By transforming currency with imagery in honor of business leaders in the tech space, new channels of spotlighting industry movers can arise where other similar industries could follow suit. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory Innovation Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-1-innovation-coins.md) - [Vintage Icon-Themed Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/susan-kare.md) - [Satirical Popsicle Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-the-rich-popsicles.md) - [Money-Inspired Footwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-concepts-x-new-balance-1000.md) - [AI Art Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-art-book.md) - [History-Honoring Vibrant Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/history-of-making-change.md) - [Billionaire-Shaped Ice Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-eat-the-rich.md) - [Indigenous Representation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/change-the-bill.md) - [Collectible Historical Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix.md)
