Average: 5 (24 votes)

Will people look down when you talk? Probably if you wear Havaianas. Definitely if you don’t brush your teeth.

Havaiana print campaign is, along with Frame campaign for Time magazine and Reality/Perception for Rolling Stone magazine, one of the greatest ever.

Puhleeeeeeze!!

I know you're desperately wanting to pat your countrymen on the back, but praising and hallucinating are two completely different things.

BTW, I know a good doctor if you need to have your head examined...

to me the art direction is a direct ripoff. the earlier work was better.

desagree! this concept is better: Will people look down when you talk? Probably if you don’t brush your teeth. Definitely if you wear Havaianas.

Their concept is ok, but the sentense with teeth, hmm... maybe that's too much...

>>> Design with no knowledge about printing, it's not design!

>>> Designed to be signed...

Does it mean Havaianas are a piece of art? Mmm... Maybe it's too pretentious, but it's fun.

The coppy would be better, if not have "...Definitely if you don’t brush your teeth"
It's so stupid

I think the art dosen't go with the copy, don't take me wrong I love both of them but they sould work more together.

Copy: 10
Art: 9.75
Ad(copy and art): 8.75

As a Campaign: 9.00

I agree with most on this one. The art is great. The copy doesn't match the message, though.
