I did too, until I enlarged it and saw that it is the eraser for the board.
I don't know, it's kind of subtle, I think I might like it.

Low Definition ad strategy.
Cute but feels off target.

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

would have been clearer and cuter with one of those boards with sand inside.
...or they could have drawn something on the blackboard. it takes a while the way it is now.

Chris's picture 1855 pencils

i agree, one of those magnet drawers would have been better, and visible

Its ok, a little hard to spot at first, but it does work once you get it.

Not really blowing my bone though.

I actually really like this. Its unexpected and it requires you to think about it for a few seconds to “get it”. And the fact that it doesn’t try and tell you what’s going on through a clever headline impresses me. If you get your audience to think about it for just a few more seconds to understand it they feel rewarded and subsequently remember your brand more.

gibshellenberger's picture 157 pencils

nice concept, everything else fell through.

guaguayo's picture 2 pencils

Never got it, sorry!

liar's picture 388 pencils
