London Para Games Campaign
McCann Worldgroup has released a new poster campaign to promote ticket sales for the London 2012 Paralympic Games, featuring striking illustration by HelloVon. Starring a number of Paraylmpic stars, including sprinter Oscar Pistorius (above), the posters have an energy and excitement that has so far been somewhat lacking from the main Olympics 2012 ads.
Adore this amazing advertisment.
Wieden + Kennedy’s Old Spice campaign was the big winner at this year’s D&AD Awards, picking up two Black Pencils out of the six awarded. There were Black Pencils too for the Plumen lightbulb, JWT New York, Arcade Fire’s Wilderness Downtown and the iPad. And Neville Brody was given the President’s Award.
W+K’s The Man Your Man Could Smell Like campaign picked up five awards in all, its Black Pencils coming in the TV Commercial Campaign Category and the TV Commercials 21-40 Seconds Category (though wasn’t the YouTube response element the most interesting bit? That only got Yellow). The wins pretty much complete a clean sweep for the campaign which has also won the top awards at Cannes, One Show, the NY Art Directors Club and many more over the past year.
Student D&AD Winner 2011
This year’s Student of the Year prize, plus a 1st in the Open Advertising 2 category went to Virginia Feito, Manu Manceda, Christian El Asmar and Andrea Ayala of the Miami Ad School Madrid for the above film. The brief was to “present an idea that engages support for Oxfam by triggering shared values and concerns in a wide range of people”, which the team did by satirising common approaches to charity ads.
Leeds-based Thompson Brand Partners has created a new identity for the UK’s National Railway Museum, the largest rail museum in the world.
According to Thompson, “The new logo has been designed to reflect the direction the museum is moving in. It is modern, simple, easy to read and dynamic with a clear indication of speed and momentum. It is based on the many angled slashes that can be found in the iconography and architecture of railway throughout history. It also makes subtle reference to rails.”
Nike: Write The Future
