Giant Van Halen A Different Kind of Truth billboard...

There's nothing like a huge billboard along L.A.'s Sunset Strip to help launch a new album or publicise a concert tour and Van Halen's ad for A Different Kind of Truth is a bold and arresting example.

Daily Billboard especially likes the industrial art deco imagery which makes a real refreshing difference from the majority of other billboards lining the streets of L.A. at the moment.

This super-sized billboard for the hard rock band was snapped on the side of the Andaz Hotel in West Hollywood on February 10, 2012.

Jessica Simpson Zales diamond bathtub billboard...

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, and it seems that Jessica Simpson simply can't get enough of them with her bathtub filled to the brim with the sparkling precious stones.

The ad for the Jessica Simpson Collection at Zales jewelers is certainly an attention grabber.

This bedazzling billboard was snapped at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood on January 30, 2012.

TV WEEK: The Voice season two billboards...

They're back, and apparently the best voice will rise in season two of The Voice.

Daily Billboard can't help but feel that the four 'coaches' themselves are the real winners in this reality talent contest though, as the show has certainly rekindled the careers and put the spotlight back on Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green and Blake Shelton.

There's a lot of pointing and victory signs in this second season billboard as the coaches choose their singers, and it makes for an impactful ad, full of energy.

These confident billboards illustrate that NBC are prepared to give the likes of American Idol and The X Factor a run for their money in the search for the next big singing sensation.

The landscape ad versions were snapped along Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue on January 14, whilst the portrait version (which is also available as a bus shelter poster) was captured along Fairfax Avenue on a gloomier January 21, 2012.

The super-sized 'Believe in Giving' billboard was snapped along L.A.'s Sunset Strip on November 2, followed by this smaller, squarer format photographed above Beverly Boulevard on November 16.

The campaign is suitably tropical, with the R&B star looking much more natural and relaxed than some of her edgier onstage styles.

Obviously it helps when the vibrant creative also sports recognisable, high-calibre music stars like Maroon 5's Adam Levine, pop diva Christina Aguilera, Grammy-winner Cee-Lo Green and country singer Blake Shelton.

Apparently these celebrities will be 'Coaches' and not 'Judges', on this latest imported show from Holland set to rival the powerhouse of American Idol, and help find America's next singing superstar.

Even if you didn't know who Marco Bosco was before, I'm sure after seeing these two billboards for the recording artist you'd be more intrigued to find out.
