Impact & Echo.. so ?????!!!!!!!!
for sorry we became discuss the work according which agency did it…
If u look to the concept for the first time, u’ll be surprised, when u think for a 30 seconds about the concept, it’s nothing….
From a concept side, the celebration has to be for kuwait not for wataniyah, there’s no relationship..
From an art direction side.. the foa looks fake and the spray can should has any design without mention the brand..

A very nice way of executing a FIRST THOUGHT/IDEA…
The foam looks terrible, kinda like puke to me, if the can wasn’t there.
Oh, the can? doesn’t it looked like tear gas cans? If I am goin’ to remake this (sorry guys at impact) Then i’d make it simple: Use a ribbon-like Kuwaiti flag forming the “W” logo. It’s more Nationalistic and Patriotic, fo’ sure.

I think representing the National Day of Kuwait by a can of foam is very stupid and childish.
In many people’s minds, the foam represents the bad side of the national day celebrations and it’s what’s making people avoid going out on that day.
Bad one Wataniya!

nice ad. is it an icon beside the name of wataniya? i think his waiting for a call…

I have to agree with Ahmad!
The foam spraying tradition that’s been going on for a while now in Kuwait during the National and Liberation Days celebrations is what’s making people flee kuwait or stay indoor. People are disgusted by that and I think it’s a bad thing to use it to promote Wataniya…
