Bank Puts Horses in Commercial and it’s Awesome

Lloyds Bank, a British establishment, is celebrating its 250th anniversary. In honor of the momentous occasion, they created a television commercial depicting the last 250 years. Instead of showcasing life in a bank over that period, Lloyds chose instead to feature the iconic black horse, which is also the bank’s logo, as a symbol of a reliable, trusted presence. I don’t think they could have chosen a better image to represent them; do you?

The bank commercial was perfect I had to watch it over. The song and the progression of closeness you put with the horse to us as strong and reliable but understanding was great.
