The new Post-It Wars [Tumblr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumblr-campaign) account by the French agency Gustibus Coloribus compiles together all the creations from the latest craze where office buildings compete against each other by creating and displaying amazing [Post-It note art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-by-squares) for everyone to see.

While Post-It note collages aren't entirely new, the rivalry created amongst neighboring buildings has exploded in recent months. According to the Guardian newspaper, [France](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sharp) is seeing a huge rise in Post-It war-related artwork. While basic 8-bit designs like Mega Man and Zelda are a popular choice, new creations like Finding Nemo and a detailed Ken from Street Fighter are populating highrises all across Europe.

Rivalry often entails violent connotations, but what better way to engage in a friendly competition than by creating playful artwork for everyone to enjoy?
