I like the art, but the yin yang/inyou symbol is one of inter-penetration and balance, not a cycle.

I am not going for this. The message is not very clear. Go take a picture of the waterways in the PI they are in terrible shape a photo of that would communicate better. I would like to see a rendering of what they look like now and what they would look like clean. Who are they going to put this ad in front of?

I agree with nice gaijin. The Yin Yang doesn't mean clean up the bad and get rid of it. I mean, I can see a water vs oil metaphor in the symbol, but it doesn't tell me that we should eliminate the icky stuff.

Pollution and water exist in harmony?

You're right. This symbol says something like that: "There is no Good without Evil". Very bad concept.

i've seen this idea for another product
fiuhhh...

Shouldn't the white be the 'water' part? It looks more like a city to me. And the black doesn't look too polluted. All I see is one poison bottle. And do I see a tree with leaves in the poisoned side? Shouldn't that be dead too? Walter Anderson could do a much better job.

i agree with gaijin too. yin yang is not exactly a cycle.
