Anyone know where it is from and whose it is?
clare mcnally is the "copywriter" for the ad. i don't know where it was done.
Writer: Clare Mcnally
Art Director: Jan Jacobs
CD: Tony Granger
Agency: TBWA Hunt Lascaris (South Africa)
one of the best ads of all time
It says something about the power of an idea when no copy is required. Great work.
actually, if you give a second look, the 'copy' is the moebius loop.
i may get shot down:P
but i rate this is in the same league as volvo safety pin and john west tin can... simple and brilliant.
still sticks in my head after all these years.

If at first you dont succeed... don't try parachuting

done
link?
done.... but for tv ad.... years ago
Very simple but great ad!
Extreme doodling
good ad is simple
Bit of an over promise though don't you think? I mean it can't go on forever.
This was done before...almost identically.
this ad is at least 10 years old, no? that way i should just scan the whole Copy Book and put one ad after the other, every second day :)
:(
Not sure what these last two comments are about. As far as I know, this is the original BIC ad from 2000 (The Copy Book is from 1995).
done, for a tv commercial... years ago
