# Polygonal Pop Culture Vehicles Josh Ln Depicts Infamous Transportation as Jagged Shape Mosaics By Jason Soy | Published 2012-03-01 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/josh-ln References: [lacarpa.tumblr](http://lacarpa.tumblr.com/post/18502048025/veiculos-de-figuras-muito-famosas-josh-ln#n) & [society6](http://society6.com/JoshLn/prints?tag=illustration) It’s been a long while since most people have seen the vehicles in these Josh Ln illustrations, but in addition to their awesome designs, viewers will no doubt feel a euphoric sense of nostalgia while looking at these images. The [Batmobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batmobile-crocs), the [Millennium Falcon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tray), the [Delorean](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup-delorean-popcorn), the Turtle Van and the Ecto-1 were all staples of ‘90s kids’ entertainment, so to see them make a return in the 2010s is a much welcomed sight. What differs Josh Ln’s images from most other artists’ work is that Ln forms his subjects using mosaics. Jagged polygonal shapes are grouped together like a jigsaw puzzle in order to define an object, and the results are surprisingly faithful to their source material. Josh Ln’s Society6 page also features a myriad of other impressive wall adornments, similar in quality to these polygonal pop culture posters. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Polygonal Design:** The trend of using polygonal shapes in design could be applied to new products and advertising campaigns to add a unique look and feel to them. - **Nostalgia Marketing:** Companies can leverage nostalgia marketing by tapping into beloved pop culture icons from decades past, evoking positive emotions and strong brand associations in consumers. - **Pop Culture Art:** This trend of creating art pieces influenced by iconic pop culture references offers an opportunity for artists to showcase their skills and creativity while also appealing to consumers' nostalgic sensibilities. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers could incorporate the polygonal design trend into their works, creating new art pieces or redesigning products for a fresh take. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing campaigns that target nostalgia appeal to consumers' feelings of warmth and comfort, and could also stand out by using polygonal designs in their visuals and advertising materials. - **Entertainment:** Using nostalgia marketing, entertainment companies can revive classic franchises and iconic characters to tap into their loyal fanbase, while also reaching a new generation of viewers and readers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Supercar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-vehicle-designs.md) - [Dynamic Car-Themed Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veiled-porsche.md) - [Rugged Low-Poly Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeep-pickup-concept.md) - [Modern Electrified Retro Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two8esl.md) - [Vintage Car Tribute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-moc.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-2.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delorean-cyberpunk-concept.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-928.md)
