There is a bridge in 

Cáceres, Spain, projected by engineers Pedro Plasencia and Hadrián Arias,

whose pavement design is based on the game. The laser cannon, some shots, and several figures
can be seen on the deck.[184] A French street artist, Invader, made a name for himself by
creating mosaic artwork of Space Invader aliens around the world.[29][185]
In 2014, two Brazilian zoologists described a new species of arachnid as Taito spaceinvaders. Kury
& Barros, 2014, inspired by the game, because of the resemblance of a fleck in the dorsal scutum of
the animal to a typical alien in the game. The genus, Taito, is named for the company that
produces Space Invaders.[186]
In 2018, Highways England launched a campaign titled "Don't be a Space Invader, Stay Safe, Stay
Back" to raise awareness on the dangers of tailgating. People were also able to order free
car bumper stickers to raise awareness of the campaign. [187]
