STAN GALLI SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA / UNITED AIR LINES. 40 1/2x25 inches. Condition A. A tan blonde in green sunglasses is beaming in the shadow of palm fronds, with people playing, swimming and relaxing at a resort hotel behind her; lettering in red and black against a yellow background. This image was recently reused by Orbitz.com as part of a $100 million advertising campaign under the caption "Visit Planet Earth." Orbitz intended for "the ads [to] hearken back to the glory days of jet travel to reawaken the glamour and fun for consumers of discovering Planet Earth by plane - 21st century style." (www.orbitz.com). David Klein and Robert Swanson, two prominent travel poster artists from the 60s, were called in to work on the job (6 posters in total), and at least three of the posters in the new series reflect some of Klein's existing work, but nowhere in the Orbitz press material is Galli credited with the oringinal design for this poster.
