It’s been almost 30 years since the arcade version of Space Invaders came out, and the classic video game is still often used as a design inspiration for new products. Here are four great examples of this:

I’ve always been a fan of the street artist ‘Invader‘. I like the way he uses an existing form and gives it another meaning. He takes the main characters from the 1978 arcade video game ‘Space Invaders‘, turns them into mozaiques and then sticks them onto walls all over the world. So cool, so fun, such a friendly form of street art! Love it, love it, love it!

And so I thought it might be cool if the invaders took over the world one step further, this time ‘knitty style’. So I designed knitted Space Invaders.
