Not sure what it said, but it's cool. I get that you can buy MacD cheap in Germany.

no es original. no es tremendo, sólo es un recurso que estuvo de moda hace unos años gracias a cannes.

arch has been done so many times that it just blends into the scenery never the less simple and straight

I guess its promoting the "Euro Menu" rather than the "Dollar Menu". It's clever. It's convenient that the Euro has the gilded edges. I also bet it sprung from an art director or CD looking down at the change on his desk (or his McDonald's tray).

yes it does promote the 1 euro products in german mcdonald's... hamburger = 1 euro, cheeseburger = 1 euro, fries = 1 euro and so on.. the promotion called "einmaleins" in english "one times one" or "1x1" and i think it is a great notice that the 1 euro coins have those golden edges.. great art work. and i think it is a original as well..

Guest's picture

wrong

not original at all

the 90's was awesome for making shit out of your logo

these guys missed the boat

Guest's picture

true about the 90's

BUT if the promotion is all about 1 euro coins.. than i think it is great!

it has a big relevance and it's realized perfectly!

great idea, great work!

nice. (:
a clever solution to use the coins that way.

Guest's picture

So does the burger cost 1 Euro (1 x 1) as the headline suggests? Or 2 Euro (1 + 1) as the picture implies?. The coins as the arch is okay, but mixing in the reference to a 4 X 4 ad is confusing.

I think that is very clear... clean message and perfectly apply for the product !

Guest's picture

So do the burgers cost 1 or 2 Euros?

Guest's picture

1 Euro and the promotion is called 1x1 (i think nine products by that time which cost 1 euro each)
