Brutal and disturbing. Very clearly defined message with just enough visual ambiguity to grab your attention. Amazing.

yes, i think the concept is very strong, i'm not so sure about the execution though, the flower seems to be made of cloth (velvet maybe?) which diminishes the impact of the visual. great thinking, anyway.

BAD. So obvious, a flower as a symbol of a vagina?!?!?
Done a million times, the logo of 1.234.975 cabarets in the world (and yeas you can make the joke about how many cabarets i know). Came on m8, is so first idea!!!

I'm with JCJ on this one.
The challenge is NOT use the flower as the metaphor.

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

why be different just for the sake of being different? if that really is the challenge, then it's a self-indulgent creative challenge. it's certainly not one that helps the client create a good piece of communication. the message is clear and striking and doesn't need to be diluted by someone trying to do something different just because. you do that for mass produced beer. you don't do that for something with a message this powerful.

I like they way they've showed just what genital mutilation is. Sure, a rose has been used a zillion times to mean "vagina" - that's why it's the perfect symbol to depict genital mutilation. Kudos.

very nice idea, well done, I think it hits the mark. This is a sensitive and challenging topic to execute and I think it has been done very well in both cases

There's a huge diference between first idea and simplicity. Excelent work.

isn't there a deeper insight to be found in this one? I don't think they just luckily chose a flower to represent a gil's gentials... Aren't people across the world selling flowers to collect money for Amnesty? Some they do year after year after year... Meaning that flowers is much more relied to Amnesty tha most of you think...

I'm sick of these copywriters not looking at the 'art' and what's the meaning behind them! Just stick with what you do best...copywriting and leave the design to the designers. Good job. I like these! Its both memorable and effective.
