Where'sthe banana?
Many years ago, we stumbled across this crazy story about gorillas, bananas and experiments. The idea is that whenever there’s a banana up for grabs, gorillas will always find the most creative ways to get theirs.
After years working in creative agencies, we realized that we’re an endangered species – working for the glory but with very few bananas to show for it.
So we decided to do something about it and build our own DAO, so that we can work, play and grow together in an ethical, unbiased and protected environment.
In so many ways, No Banana No Glory is the only banana you’ll ever need.

The collection
Bill Gates once said that intellectual property has the shelf life of a banana. Anyone who’s been in a creative pitch knows that far too many great ideas get thrown out even faster. Even when they’re right.
We want to change the way our work comes to life, and build an ethical, impartial and meritocratic platform where creative gorillas from across the globe can forge solid reputations and help others do the same. To do this, we have to maintain our independence, and for that we need your help.
These NFTs are much more than cute works of art with an original take on some of the world’s most significant graphic styles. They are the foundations of the world’s first Talent-as-a-Service DAO for creatives.
Our Gorillas are stored on the Ethereum blockchain and hosted exclusively on OpenSea.
Grab yourself a gorilla and find your banana.

Pop ArtEdition
INSPIRED BY THE EVERYDAY GORILLA
It was sixty years ago that Andy Warhol first emblazoned Marilyn Monroe’s face on print for his Marilyn Diptych. At the time, he couldn’t have known that he was going to directly influence a future digital art movement. But that’s exactly what happened with the No Banana No Glory Pop Art edition, a collection of 500 unique NFTs based on the one thing that unites us all: the gorilla in each and every creative soul out there.
Find the Banana!
GORILLA SURPRISE!
Occasionally when you least expect it, we’ll be air-dropping these super rare golden bananas to randomly selected collectors. Not only are they super shiny and delicious, but they also multiply future rewards on your NBNG NFT!
PatternEdition
REPETITION IS HOW WE CREATE
Fibonacci discovered that there is a natural pattern that occurs everywhere in Nature: you just have to know where to look for it. Creativity is no different, it’s everywhere and our guess is you know exactly where to find yours. The No Banana No Glory Pattern edition is dedicated to all the art directors, graphic designers and digital artists who spend their time looking for that spark of creativity lurking in the shadows of their mind, just waiting to be found.

PatternEdition
REPETITION IS HOW WE CREATE
Fibonacci discovered that there is a natural sequence that occurs everywhere in Nature: you just have to look for it. Creativity is no different. Like patterns, it’s everywhere. In a moment of pure unadulterated genius or after a few (or way too many) reworks. The No Banana No Glory Pattern edition is dedicated to all the art directors, graphic designers and digital artists who spend their time looking for that spark of creativity lurking in the shadows of their mind, just waiting to be found.
In a word? Bananas.
No seriously. We’re building the world’s first creative Talent-as-a-Service DAO to eliminate the middleman and give creatives back their power, their independence and their glory. Launching this DAO is our mega-banana and these NFTs will help us peel it without selling our precious patch of land to those greedy banks.
Apart from the “I was there” claim? Quite a lot.
The No Banana No Glory collection comes with exclusive membership of our DAO project, and all holders will become active participants of one of the most innovative platforms for creative minds the jungle has ever seen, receiving lifetime rewards on everything that goes on in this brave new world.
To spice things up a little, we will produce 25 super rare bananas to keep your gorillas company and level up future earnings, air-dropped free of charge to 25 lucky owners.
