About

This image features a standard SMPTE color television test pattern display with vertical colored bars in grey, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red, and blue. Centered over the test bars is a black horizontal graphic banner containing white sans-serif block text that reads "THE FOLLOWING COMMERCIAL IS TOO TALL FOR TV". Above the text banner sits a small black and white line-art illustration of the KFC Colonel Sanders face logo. Thin white framing lines outline a rectangular inner boundary across the center of the color bars. The image is captured by London-based photographer Martin Poole, presenting a clean graphic layout reminiscent of broadcast television calibration screens.
