The woolly mammoth is sick of being used as a shaggy ice-age joke. The dodo hates being the byword for failure. The trilobite thinks, contemporary thoughts, and wishes to be listened to.

The woolly mammoth is sick of being used as a shaggy ice-age joke. The dodo hates being the byword for failure. The trilobite thinks, contemporary thoughts, and wishes to be listened to.
Welcome to the weird, futuristic realm of billboard advertising, where the dinosaurs return not to take back their territory, but to rebrand. Dreamina's AI photo generator asks you to imagine how extinct animals would promote themselves, not as fossils, but as influencers, icons, and brand mascots in a world that has finally rediscovered them… in error.
These are not only extinction awareness PSAs. These are full-blown brand campaigns created by ancient entities who've watched memes, studied textbooks, and thought it was time for a glow-up.
Advertising for the formerly overlooked
Consider a ten-story holographic billboard suspended above a contemporary skyline, flickering with pixelated wings and loud typography that says:
"DODO: Flightless. Not Useless.™"
Or a moody, matte-black mural wrapped around a hover-tram terminal, showing a sabertooth tiger mid-sprint, jaw open, tagline glowing:
“Don’t Call It a Comeback. Call It Revenge.”
In this universe, extinct species don’t beg for sympathy, they hire creative teams.
Dreamina’s tools are your help agency. You’ll build all from the imaginary concept to the design assets that these resurrected brands need, complete with slogans, billboards, and collectible media.
Step 1: Write a text prompt
Begin your resurrection pitch in Dreamina's interface by crafting a scene prompt that is completely embraces the project's absurdity and drama. These animals have had millennia to simmer on their brand identity. Now you bring it to life.
Here's a sample to help guide your vision:
A glowing night billboard in a cityscape of neon lights, with a prehistoric bird sporting futuristic sunglasses. Text indicates: "MOA: Back in Stock." The billboard is cracked but illuminated, and vines are growing around it.
A group of people stare up in confusion and awe. Sky is pink-orange twilight with flying taxis on the horizon.
Step 2: Adjust parameters and generate
Then, tune your image parameters. Select a model that matches your tone: high-fidelity realism if you desire Jurassic Park–scale drama, or painterly surrealism if the message is more poetic. For mockups of billboards or street scenes, landscape aspect ratios are often best—particularly if you'd like to depict both the sign and its amazed bystanders. If you're working on close-up slogans or brand mascots, square is the way to go for sharp focus.
Step 3: Customize and download
Now take the design home. Perhaps your trilobite billboard looks wonderful, but the type is too contemporary. Employ Dreamina's inpaint feature to nudge the typography or add era-specific flair (lava script, anyone?). Reach out and grab more of that prehistoric skyline with expand to add other extinct walk-ons or environmental background. Remove the background mess or adjust a glowing eye with retouch, and should there be a hovering anachronic skateboard where it shouldn't be, remove it with a swish. Once your billboard is ready for brand, click the Download button and save your species' comeback campaign.
Extinct, but on trend
It's not just about appearing alive, it's about being trendy. These animals are entering a marketplace already filled with mascots, influencers, and motivational swag. They require more than a tragic tale, they require style.
The glyptodon could position itself as a tough security symbol, ideal for anti-theft technology commercials: "Built Like a Tank. Moves Like a Rock."
The pterosaur, streamlined and flying, sells green energy: "Winds Remember Us."
Even the lowly giant sloth embraces lifestyle branding: "Slow Is a Choice™."
Their branding isn't pleading for resurrection; it claims attention.
A Symbol for every species
A good campaign requires a symbol. Employ Dreamina's AI logo generator to create emblems that resonate with the creature and message. Consider: an edgy ammonite spiral in shades of gray for a sleek paleo-minimalist design firm. Or an abstract tusk icon, crowned like royalty for the Mammoth Heritage Project.
Your logo may exist on banners, tees, rewilding initiative websites, or streaming platform icons. It's not just art, it's the resurrection of marketing panache.
Artworks for the devoted
All successful brands create community, and with Dreamina's free AI art generator, you can make these lost voices collectibles. Create vinyl-print decals that read "Extinction Is a Social Construct" or "Dodo Mode: Activated."
Imagine a limited series of neon-hued fossil stickers, complete with slogans such as "Cenozoic Drip" or "Paleogene Pride." They're not laptop stickers alone—they're digital tattoos, homages to the animal empires that (nearly) disappeared forever.
Whether worn by rewilding enthusiasts or humorous street fashion brands, these stickers allow individuals to wear extinct, brashly, and lightheartedly.
Species as storytellers
Embedded at the center of this design experiment is something profound: the concept that extinct animals can be cultural narrators, if we just allow them.
The woolly rhino could caution us against climate change. The ichthyosaur could satirize our technology addictions. The thylacine could leave motivational catchphrases like "You're Only Forgotten If You Stop Roaring."
By crafting their billboards, we provide these animals with new voices. And they, in turn, teach us warning, awe, and marketing advice from the periphery of history.
Last sign-off
In a world where the missing come back not with fangs, but with lettering, each billboard is a resurrection incantation. With Dreamina, you're not merely creating images. You're calling upon the past to talk through images powerful enough to shatter the skyline.
So next time you pass a glowing sign at midnight that reads “DinoCore: Fossils Fuel the Future”, don’t scoff. That may just be made by a velociraptor with a marketing degree.
