That one design seems to send waves of terror through many forum members.

I don't really like tin art all that much at least not in a way where there is a favorite.

Me either.

 

[Zack Miller]

You’re just asking for packaging, right?

Not tin art, but I have high regard for the many ingenious ways packaging designers can fold together cardboard to make durable and easy to open boxes for a wide variety of products. Conversely, I am perpetually amazed at the many poorly designed "childproofing" mechanisms for pharmaceuticals. As I whip out my pocket knife, I think of the legions of arthritic-handed people wrestling with these monstrosities. I guess we get the bitter with the sweet.

P.S. The Granger pointer dog is my all-time favorite.

As is mine.

like I like it. But not in a way where I go wow that particular tin is awesome. More like that's kind of nice and oh I've already mostly forgotten about it. Though I liked tin art more before I started realize how much more affordable bulk is and would carry my one tin at a time around with me.

The McClelland Breaching Whale is definitely iconic but I'm a big fan of their Froggy illustrations too - reminds me of my childish years reading "Frog and Toad".

Absolutely! Love the Frog illustrations.

+1 on the frog morton's cellar.

Pipe smoking can be a beckoning-of-the-past experience so I tend to gravitate toward G.L. Pease tin art.

I have a lot of favorites and I know a lot of them have better graphics now. That being said I love the old tin art even though it's more simple. This one feels so patriotic, old timey and simple to me. A throwback to days gone by.
