VIKINGS FINAL SEASON
Key Art
Amazon Prime Video
From its Maiden voyage, to the final battle – CORE was onboard.
Seven years after Vikings first set sail, and with meticulous attention to historical accuracy, CORE created the final piece of key art for the series. A symbolic Viking burial at sea, with the iconic dragon ship ablaze, as it’s chieftain rises to an eternal afterlife in Valhalla. What better way to send off the show, that had thrusted HISTORY into the realm of scripted programming.
A Viking's honor.
“It’s rare in advertising to be on the entire journey of any one project”, says Pär Larsson, founder and lead creative of CORE. Being Swedish, and growing up surrounded by Viking culture, made working on Vikings really hit home. “What an honor it is, that in some small way, CORE have contributed to the success of Vikings, and to see that the series will continue to live forever on History and Amazon Prime Video”.
The teaser key art - a terrifying opening visual.
Our inspiration: The first recorded raid by Vikings in 793 A.D. The attack on a monastery off the coast of northeastern England marked the beginning of the Viking Age. We imagined the first thing the terrified monks might have seen, is the dragon headed bow steam of their assaulters’ Viking ship as it crashed onto their shores.
Shot on location at Ashford Studios outside of Dublin, the visual was a natural, as we introduced Vikings to a worldwide audience with our first piece of teaser key art, for the show.
