All that's missing is the hammer and sickle.

Oh. MY GODS.

And that's all I gotta' say about that.

Someone ought to photoshop a hammer and sickle onto that image.

Hm, maybe somebody with a better art education than mine can tell us, is that style more properly called Constructivist or Modernist or ... what?

Anyway, it's hardly a style restricted to Soviet propaganda, it was quite influential on period art and other poster styles:

America's Answer, 1941

It's the style and colors combined with the message that I find so Sovietesque.

I think that that is the new poster that is used on the MARC trains (the communter train for Maryland)

Chmee is right.... Neckties and other bourgeois nonsense have no place in Soviet propeganda.

And as was written, it is done:

Heh, the reverse E is a brilliant touch.

Heh, both posters are rather cool.

Nice. Mind if I show that around?

Cues Hymn of the Soviet Union

These are in Maryland? God soon as I get stateside I need to get some pictures of this.
Are they in the terminal building or outside?

I could have sworn I've seen a nazi poster just like that....

Indeed

Apparently, this one was sighted in London...

The propaganda posters my mum got from vietnam this year are more subtle than this.

I have to say I really like the art and design, despite the intention. It seems similiar in some way to how people are drawn in the art deco period from 1910-39.

It's also pretty similar to the people on the cover of Aryn Rand Books.

Definitely Big Brother-ish, as the image name would say. Heh.

"Eye in the sky, your eyes hypnotize", how did that old song go?

<Slashdot> "In SOVIET RUSSIA, Trains Ride YOU!" </slashdot>

Sorry.

Still nowhere near as creepy as the former logo for the Information Awareness office:

Nice posters all of them. and i would like to have that Information awareness office logo on my wall

Anymore sightings of posters like these?

It would probably be Modernist, though the America's Answer one is closer to the orginal style than today's offspring.
