The LG Optimus Black is a phone that many are lusting after, and why not? After all it is boasting some great features. But nothing spices up your product as much as getting some awesome designs on the products rear, right?
LG is creating a scene thanks to its collaboration with the Keith Haring Foundation. Thanks to the new found collaboration between the electronic giant and the foundation of one of America’s most legendary pop artists, the Optimus Black would feature artwork from the artist on the world’s thinnest Android device (6mm to be exact).
“Keith Haring inspired the art world with his energetic, colorful images which are recognized by millions of people around the world,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We hope to capture some of that ‘joie de vivre’ through this partnership as it’s perfectly consistent with our ‘Life’s Good’ philosophy.”
The collaboration between the two organizations have resulted in the selection of two of Keith Haring’s artworks which will be featured on the back covers for the Optimus Black. This collaboration marks the second time both companies have worked together, the first being 2008 when the foundation was responsible for the artistic feel of the KF600 and the KF700.
The LG Optimus Black will be available in either white or black as well as other color variations in select European markets starting next month. Those visitors to Mobile World Congress next Monday will be able to get a firsthand viewing of the device. Mobile World Congress starts the 15th of February and ends the 17th of that month.
We’ll be there with the latest information so stay tuned, and while you’re at it, you might want to control your spending as we’re sure there’s something you’ll want from the event.
