These ads don't even fit together. I kinda get this one--except for the tagline--but it feels all over the place.

There was a BP ad with the exact same tanker visual, more or less. Different takeaway, though.

i guarantee you these guys saw the BP ad in CommArts. True, it's a different takaway, but the execution on the right side of the spread is pretty much exactly the same as the BP ad - except BP's looks much better.

Anyone has got a reference to the BP ad? Thanks ...

The art direction sucks, it took me to the past and to the excessive use of imagebank's "creative" photos. And hated the green over the yellow... puaj!

Ivan, seriously, for the X-th time... get the people to sign in. Each time you enable guest comments spam or some other crap comes in. At least we know the username of the dumbass if he bothers to sign in.

BP print ad created by Ogilvy Cape Town

muy bueeeeenooo!!!!

Guest's picture

looks good but I would move the "avoid gas hogs" to the first page, otherwise the first thing I see to avoid is the FIT. I know what you mean but try moving that slogan to the other side and try that.
