Over 2,500 logos. And six years to make.

Congratulations to Nicolas Schmerkin, François Alaux, Herve de Crecy, Ludovic Houplain and their team for winning the 2010 Best Animated Short Film Oscar for Logorama.

Watch the actual film above. Website here.

And
Snag your own downloadable copy of the film at the iTunes store – where it’s going for just a couple of bucks.

Logorama is a riveting French look at American consumerism (and film making).
