Logorama (shortfilm)

This is a very clever animation all made up of logos, showing the corporate cut-throat attitude the capitalist needs to have to survive.

"Nominated for a Best Animated Short Oscar, Logorama takes place in a world full of corporate and brand logos (in which roughly 2,500 appear), and it follows a few different stories that all intertwine with one another. Honestly, it's bloody brilliant, and I guarantee it'll be the best thing you watch all week." (source)
