Totally agree, what's the real benefit of this radio station..

I think I know what the benefit is. Still, I don't like the campaign. I also don't like that line "radio for heads". It's clunky. Maybe it reads better in German. In English, it's almost like Radiohead, the band! 3 stars for me.

Radio for heads > gears started turning with the proper lubricant > thoughtful choice in radio.

I dunno, but it seems obvious to me. And the illustration is wacky fun.

By the way, it's for Leipzig University Radio.

This doesn't look obvious at all to me. Ever seen a similar radio ad? I haven't (taking a risk here, people might link something similar hehe).

I like the idea and the illustration even more. And I think it's very effective, you'll remind the name pretty well I think. I only hope the radio is in this sort of style as well, or else it'll lose effect.

Yeah, Jack, I meant "obvious" not in the negative sense we hear it so often here, but as a counter to the first posters on this pair of ads, who seemed to be scratching their head like it was a big mystery. I think it's good stuff too.

Love it. It's smart without being complex... this is the perfect "simple idea" that is so often referred to on here.

The artwork saves it; the concept needs more lubrication.
