Above is a photo used for the Initiative for Cuneiform Encoding(ICE)program. It was an advertisement used in 2003 to help engage people's interest in the cuneiform program. As you can see, this advertisement has a lot of cuneiform as the background. On top of that cuneiform, the word "ice" is placed on top in a large font. This group did a spin off of the "got milk?" advertisement by saying "got wedges?" The purple background really makes the type pop. Since we have been learning about cuneiform in class and it looks so cool, I thought it would only be appropriate to upload an advertisement made in the 21st century that has cuneiform in it. Since cuneiform is very old, it is hard to find it in recent advertisements, magazines, and books.
