Unfortunatly the difference is not so оbvious..

NatalieM's picture 1693 pencils

Agreed. This visual takes too much analysis. Unfortunately, if I were reading a magazine, I would look at this visual and flip the page.

Singapore side must have its famous lion fountain statue

BOOBJOB LOOBCANNON's picture 1872 pencils

Ah, subtle. I like it.

It's not as good as the old Sydney billboard for Pan Am from Yearsago. Had a simpler upside down idea. This is still good though.

We're going to need more lube.

Too much like those "soundwave" ads...

...for example.

Quite really.

Have Heart's picture 922 pencils

Totally different concept.

Prof's picture 857 pencils

Of course, but the execution is way too similar.

Besides, considering the other ads its taken from, it's even less original ;)

Quite really.

fen1x's picture 473 pencils

Too confusing. Most of people dont recognize big cities from East. Maybe a little view for Singapore harbor ?
But I like an idea.

Adaddicted's picture 763 pencils

What a timing...you too are clever ; )

If you were to count out all the ads that are similar than you'd be left with nothing. This is a good ad, but I do agree it feels a bit dated.

Adaddicted's picture 763 pencils

True, but this is 'three much'!!!
Why do not go for genuine, if there a possibility?

Sumesh,

Oh come on! This is brilliant campaign. Simple message simply told. Good work.

lidiot's picture 8 pencils

belle image de la globalisation architecturale où toutes les villes finissent par se ressembler comme les chambres de Novotel à travers le monde, ou les chaînes de magasins Gap de Pékin à Toronto. où est le plaisirs de voyager au XXIème siècle...
désolé, ça n'a rien à voir avec la pub...

I think u have given a wrong link, check it again.

Frits Harkema's picture 713 pencils

If both cities are actually at a shore, I do not dislike it. Bit to cleverish for modern day advertising, though. But in Cannes they might disagree on that.

BOOBJOB LOOBCANNON's picture 1872 pencils

How come you're so gay for Cannes?

We're going to need more lube.
