If I had to nitpick, I would've asked the Agency to use more than one sky backdrop. Other than that, great work, great concept, and great courage in executing the creative. As for it not being creative, puhleaaase. This is such a break from the ordinary on a corporate level, that everyone is talking about it, and it is achieving the result of bringing recognition to both the company, and the athlete's being promoted. Also, when they do return to the red colour, it will be noticable ,and will actually aid branding by reminding everyone that Wataniya is the RED company oncemore. The temporary shift will make us notice red all over again. As far as it diluting the brand, and breaking the "rules" etc. Oh my god they broke the branding rules, mercy me, what are we to do. Rules are for the weak, the talentless, and for those who cannot think for themselves. Oh, and by the by, rules are meant to be broken; if they weren't, they would've been classified as laws.

In my opinion this dilutes the logo of Watanyia. Good ad but weak point in terms of branding. I believe they should'nt have messed with the color of the logo.

Shaquille O' Neal and Charles Barkley wearing their own team's Basketball Jersey with the number 32 in support for Magic Johnson)... The first two ads were OK as layout and that's it, the rest of the series? It just killed it and made it look cheap and petty. Creativity? NONE. I wonder why some people here call it great work, where there's nothing great in this, Pity. Good Luck on the team anyways.
