The picture titled “Coop’s Paint” is actually a billboard for Nationwide Insurance. Coop’s Paint is a made up company for purposes of the ad.
All 3 billboards are for the same ad showing you can’t take anything for granted with the paint intact, the paint spilled over, and the tag line (including a splatter of paint on the last one).
I live nearby and see it everyday :-)

the “coops paints” ad is actually for nationwide insurance. it’s in downtown columbus, ohio (where nationwide is headquartered). an agency created the brand coops paints purely for the purpose of this advert.

Those that make an appeal to the environment awareness are truly ingenious!
The air guitar campaign is a killer! :D

No, the real killer is Bergmann Funeral Services’ ‘Come a little closer.’ ;)
Really liked Nationwide Insurance. And, today morning I started my new business: Coop’s Paints!

The one for Liquid Paper is actually for FedEx Office (formerly FedEx Kinko’s). You can see their logo at the bottom of the liquid paper bottle.
