Yeah right. who's going to recognize this without the title

man thurd's picture 76 pencils

Done 10,000 times oldready.

sumsum's picture 623 pencils

maybe showing just the lights on the street would have been better

NomadDCLXVI's picture 314 pencils

I got it only when I red the name - so ...
agree to Wordnerd - it works lousy without a name.

No one will get it except people from advertising.

Have Heart's picture 922 pencils

Smart, but too subtle.

ErnestBurden's picture 2 pencils

Very nice.

And why shouldn't you have to read the copy...if you didn't then it wouldn't need to be there.

Never in a million years would I have seen the golden arches. And the ad looks rather creepy for a McDonald's spot. Not lovin' it.

let me ask this question: what value does this ad add to the brand? its a nice twist maybe.. but too subtle and wont have the residual impact in people's heads...

i'm getting fed up with adverts for advertising people, if some of us lot aren't getting it joe public never will. make ad's for the target audience, not us.

Delfondo's picture 86 pencils

Ya lo realizo argentina!!! hace como 9 años.

borifasio's picture 24 pencils

Good idea, but where's the brand?

rebelscum's picture 1867 pencils

Got it in about 3 seconds. Perfect with just that headline. If it were actually running, throwing an "IM LVN IT" on the licence plate would prolly drive it home.

They say "done done done", but I've never seen it. I guess I need to read my CAs more.

You gotta be kidding me. Waaay to subtle. And ugly.

bertie's picture 48 pencils

3/10

Ad_Man's picture 816 pencils

made me think: tarantino's death proof meets super size me. i think i wouldn't have gotten this without the title.

Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.

jumpp21's picture 26 pencils

would have been better if background wasn't so rural. Maybe the back of an employee head sticking out of side looking towards car.

stephenakiogbe's picture 12 pencils

i wouldnt have known this is McDonald's. had the car been darkened and we see more of the light and the reflection more like traced out from the logo. it looks like a teaser without the logo

Garg0yle's picture 144 pencils

Needs the Mc Logo. And it would be good.

When will you 'ad guys' learn that the 'T.G.' for 90% of the ads put up here is the award jury... and not the TG of the product itself.

Keeping that in mind it is smart and works with a logo. Without a logo, and if you don't have a descriptor line, it is just a car with lights on.

ShanGhai!

nitin456's picture 129 pencils

nohany's picture 8 pencils
