Nice. Sounds and looks a little familiar, but, still, nice.

Ouch! Just saw this reply. I am very sorry, Sb.

Thank you! Glad to know there are some CDs who like my work. :)

Reflections are kinda nice...

kre8's picture 993 pencils

the body copy is the best thing in this ad.
(not that i read it)

Very clean and neat. Lovely.
At a glance I thought the idea was 'for kings and queens'.

I think the ad works. The first thing that came to mind was that everything about the automobile was thought out in advance. They wanted to succeed and they did. It brought to mind one of my favorite quotes "The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself."

A. J. SMITH's picture 2850 pencils

Yeah, it looks pretty cool.

Very polished style which doesn't appeal to me personally, but it is a good idea, well done and perfect for the product.

Good ad all round.

-----------------------------
It's only an ad.

sloppy4's picture 1212 pencils

not sure it needs the line at all.

miko1aj's picture 1390 pencils

agree. Sometimes less is more.

tjb1970's picture 474 pencils

what does the line mean? i don't get it. visually this ad is okay, the idea is played.

ccsman04's picture 163 pencils

So... what are they saying... "CHESS PLAYERS" are SMARTER than everyone else??? Or maybe that only SMART people can drive that car??? I like it though. I really think the use of black is very well done.

postman's picture 961 pencils

The car represents the king, right? Does it say something about the cruising radius of the car, then? ;)

raverus's picture 1458 pencils

yes!

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

IQ = Chess?
"King"?
Static. Unsophisticated. Underthought. Underwhelming.
This isn't working for me.

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

Green_Hornet's picture 33 pencils

For me the King is the slowest of all.
And I dont understand this "IQ Driven". IQ just because of chess? Or because of the King? But why?

mrtalented's picture 2181 pencils

why driving this car demands IQ? quite forced line and idea.
