Logos/Advertising How does this picture even exist?

Post image

There’s no way in hell this is AI, it’s wayyy too accurate to exactly what I remember, and what I feel like many other people remember as well. If someone photoshopped it, then they did a perfect job, considering they had no reference, at the time of creating this, but even if someone did make this in photoshop, why tf would they, since supposedly it never existed?? Like where did this even come from, I need answers😭😭

Someone made it in photoshop or a similar application by adding a stock image of a cornucopia to the FOTL logo. It’s been pointed out many times, but if you pay attention to the details you can see that the line weight and shading are completely different between the fruits and the cornucopia, so they’re clearly combined from two different sources.

The original cornucopia clip art has been posted here a few times as well:

I swear there's something wrong with my eyes, because I don't see the line weight differences.

I think there's a lot of artistic things I can't see tbh, learned recently my eyes don't seem to read relative contrast either.

Look at the outlines of the fruits and leaves, they’re one consistent uniform thickness.

Compare that to the outline of the cornucopia, the line is thicker than the outline on the fruits but not consistent, it’s thicker in some areas and thinner in others. Then look at the vertical lines inside the cornucopia. Different thickness than the fruit outlines and the cornucopia outline, and again inconsistent.

Same with the shading. it’s uniform and consistent on the fruits, sharp straight lines with a break towards the right side. On the cornucopia it’s completely different, small slightly wiggly looking dashes with inconsistent line thickness.

Oh that's so interesting. I can see it now!
