Thread: Zombie posters from the CDC

Tweet

The CDC has created several zombie posters. These are pretty cool and would go with a zombie theme or just for Halloween!

Unfortunately the posters themselves are sold out, but they have high quality PDFs on the site so you can print your own if you have the right type of printer (or go to Kinko's):

These go with the CDC's article on zombie preparedness:

One of the posters:

Wow! Cool. I remember the campaign from last year that caught on like wild fire on the Internet. Glad they are following up with it again this year. I would have loved to have ordered some of those printed posters but like the fact that they have the .PDFs available.

Thanks so much for posting the link.

Speaking of past zombie campaigns I wonder if Sears I think it was, will do another year of their cool zombie site. Spent quite a bit of time looking at it last year.


BTW it seems like the CDC will have more of the posters available later (whenever that is) and I'm definitely going to be looking to pick a set up even if I don't get them for this year.

I just tried to order some and they are out of stock on every one of them.
I guess ill try back at a later date.

I think these are cool looking.

I'll definitely be checking back periodically to try ordering. Not surprised they are "sold out" already. People should be aware of the restrictions especially about only one request per poster publication.

Here's another CDC link you might be interested in if you want to promote the CDC's message: http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies.asp


Did you guys notice the CDC video contest area! It's at the bottom of the link in this post. I can't wait to see more on this and of course the entries should be fun too.

That's cool. I have this one

I know someone who works in the CDC graphics department and they said they only had a budget to print 5000 of them and they have no plans to print out any more (budget cuts) but who knows in the future they might.

I posted it because they have the PDFs so even though you can't order them I figured people might like to print some out themselves....

Yup. Sears rocks. Here's the archive of the page they did:

I have access to a good color printer at work... love the pdfs!

Nightmare-Dud, I have that same poster. In fact picked it up last year from Sears online. I love it and have plans to work it into my haunt when I do the zombie theme.

Here's where the government doesn't think. Can you imagine how many of these posters they could SELL and make some money on if they offered them for sale? Maybe they should sell them at the post office so people could pick them up there. Who knows maybe the post office could actually earn money on something.


I'm definitely going to look into going the kinkos route. We have an old Epson tabloid printer that could probably do a nice job but I'd love to have the large poster size.

Cool beans, I actually got mine from an FYE at the mall.
