Greetings Card
2007 (issued)
| Artist/Maker |
This corporate Christmas card was issued by the global financial services firm Morgan Stanley in 2007 in support of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Representing a globe made up of multi-coloured figures resembling children's cut-out paper dolls the design cleverly evokes the global reach of the Morgan Stanley brand while associating it with the benign reputation of UNICEF. It is an interesting example of the seasonal card used to raise the profile and enhance the image of a financial corporation at a time when many of them faced a slump in public confidence.
