Photographs and Paintings as screensavers by Reknown Artists

Taito Corp, a major Japanese leasing company of arcade game and karaoke machines, has just launched wild animal screensavers for mobile users. The highly artistic photographs and paintings are by reknown artists, aimed to attract senior users, according to JCN Network.

Taito should get together with the British Library who has licensed recordings from its vast collection of animal noises, for use as mobile phone ringtones.

But coming back to artistic logos and screensavers, my favorite French company, See My SMS who I have blogged about before, is pionneering in this domain and single-handedly raising the level of screen phone visuals with Contemporary artists who have created special screen phone artwork.
