Qnet started to copy FT’s style. White background, neat headline and no mention of price! Even the concept of camera and speed is copied from FT’s recent speed sign ad. This tell you who’s the leader and who’s the follower!

I agree with Don Quixote. They copied FT style. It is very obvious.
Now they started with the white background, and they will soon end up in changing their blue into orange.
This artwork proved who killed WHO!!!

DON, ur opinion is not rational since u work at FT, let the judging be for spectators :P

DON:
You accuse QNET of copying FT, but the fact of the matter is QNET isn't copying anyone at all, does FT owns "white backgrounds, neat headlines and no price mentions?" Not to mention FT borrowing the idea of using Superman's logo. If I were you, I'd just keep my mouth shut and try to observe more. Capish?
Note: I don't work for any of the above clients or ad agencies and I hate both ads to be frank.

kre8tive: FYI yes FT owns the white backgrounds, neat headlines and everything else.. all of them are rejistered under the FT name!! if you dont believe it or disagree, u better change ur name to " Ignorant "

ft used to use orange background ex. Superman and the 8 , don't forget that the qualitynet summer campaign was in white background.

Wow, didn't think people can get so ignorant in here!
The White Background (BG) and minimal copy is more of an old trend catching up in a few ads here, and doesnt actually belong to anyone. @ La Dolce to be saying FT owns a trend, is just plain dumb. Just praying the dude/ dudette aint working for no agency's creative dept. @ Don for actually saying "neat headline and no mention of price is an FT design trend" – whats wrong with you? are u seriously that ignorant? one look through the telecom ad archive of this very website shows you"
– Qnet's Summer Ad has a white BG
- Tawasul's possibly only ad has a white BG (maybe blame the agency – Paragon handles them as well)
- KEMS 50% off (half green – half red apple) has a white BG
- KEMS Diet Internet ad (food packaging) has a White BG
- KEMS Free Internet ad (the fil with a zero) has a white BG
- Qnet's Prepaid DSL ad has a white BG
Addiotionally, all of Paragon's latest work for FT has been using Orange BGs (Superman logo rip, Water filter, Mug shots) and the ads from RAAD/AFYOUNI for FT prior to Paragon has photographs and what not. So is FT, or rather their voice here (Don and La Dolce) accusing the entire industry (telecom and others – and not just restricted to the kuwait ad scene) of copying their new found reason to argue? that's a little far fetched my friends.
Also, Both FT and KEMS employ orange in their work. aint seeing no bad mouthing in those regards! FT flatters itself a lot, saying Qnet would be taking their shade soon.
Come to think of it, FT ads have always been disliked in here, which leads to me think that the guys who are sending in these ads aren't getting the "wows" and "gr8 job" reverts they wanted, and are trying to retaliate.
Never the less, this ad from Qnet aint exactly great. Execution sucks. the idea cudve been shown in so many better ways.
Its irritating and stupid to be making remarks and comments about things people have little or no knowledge about. Im sure this comment section is for contructive criticism and not company personnel to be duelling about who did what. So suck it up ya'll and mouth-off when u have something u know somethign thats truly yours being ripped.
Cheers!

kre8tive: My guess is that this site is there to exchange and constructively criticize ideas. When we read Oscar Wilde's (and I highly doubt if you know who is he anyways) we like or dislike his ideas and we don’t care if he is gay or not!
Moral of the story: why don’t you become a bit more creative in talking about ideas and not attacking people!!
Happy Reading :)

i really dont think fast talco owns white back ground n all the other stuff La Dolce Vita mentioned….see its not necessary tat Qnt copied i jus feel somtimes ppl think of ideas tat have already been used..bah i still believe wotever the ad is it all about how the product is in the end..its all about who has the best connection and good prices..i belive Qnet is the best!!..correct me if im rong!!
Nov 5th, 2009

Way 2 go BIGB, u truly kicked in a lot of sense.
I still feel employees of all ISPs will never give a good judgment and even if they do; it won't be taken as serious as taken from spectators,
it's not like any ISP will help the other ISP to do a better job.
So instead staff decide to take it personal and start standing for things they don't know.
Don, u just confessed that what you said is irrational because the industry is irrational?? :P.
anyway I did express my thoughts about the ad and I don't intend to take things to a personal level & start a pointless argument unless the pointless turns to a valid or a rational argument.
Cheers all.

NEWS: Fast Telco Copied Quality Net's business so Quality Net copied their designs..
You wanna be different and creative..learn something from KEMS..a look into their current campaign will tell u that this is how you be different..doesn't matter if it's for good or bad..it's different..is it creative??yes ofcourse..have u seen faces like that before??besides no imbeciles will blame u for copying their crappy artworks..
and guys..bear in mind, Fast Telco owns plain white backgrounds, orange backgrounds, cheetahs, cats, cows, donkeys, buffaloes, neat headlines, supermans, batmans, spidermans and all the mans..so when u working on a new artwork, know that if it's white..it ain't right..
@ La Dolce Vita..where did u copy ur name from??
man..u r so immature to say that plain white backgrounds and neat headlines is something that was discovered by Fast Telco..u should go hang urself or shove ur head in the toilet seat and keep it there until u r dead..and find the man/woman who discovered u..ask him why did he/she discover u..
Now we know who's behind those stupid FT ideas..

If Qnet copied FT, then whom did FT copy?
i think LA DOLCE VITA works for FT marketing department, and i wouldn't be surprised if he is the marketing manager and trying to claim the white background to himself, attempting to market himself.
Oh… i just noticed this blog is also copying FT style ;-)

OMG!!!!! this is FT style… they used the raod sign as well… hahaha.. for the first time Qnet doesnt write newspapers in their ads.. doesnt mention price.. doesnt mention their company history lol guys compare the summer offer ad to this one. their ads are usually full of text all over it and messed up..
This ad is typical Fasttelco style !! TYPICAL!

I'm beginning to think some people in here haven't and still don't see ads from anywhere other than Kuwait.
After literally hundreds of White BG based ads around the world, the credit/ trademarks/ ownership and even the very idea goes to a tiny brand in Kuwait.
Going by the rationale "Since FT used a white BG in one of their ads, this is now FT property", it’s safe to say everything they’ve ever used/ mentioned/represented/imitated/ ripped from others, in their ads belong to them. Like the Orange BGs (paragon's FT ads), Brain-based visuals & Bats (BPG's FT ads – Wonder if the Batman character was spawned from FT's ad??!), Cheetahs (new mascots?), Burgers (watch out burger joints – you may serve 'em but FT owns 'em), Broken Eggs (next time you crack open an egg, call it FT'ing), Road signs, Black & White shades in the same ad (no ways – Yin Yang too?!), people wearing Orange tops (FT website)…damn, i could go on forever.
Oh yeah, i forgot – the Mac Vs PC ad was probably a rip off of FT's ad as well? I mean, how else can it be? White BG right? That's FT!!!
If ever one wondered why advertising seems such an under-developed market in this part of the world, you can pin it on the kind of mindsets you see in here. I mean, given brands communicating in Kuwait are bound to use something or the other that FT ads have possibly used/ mentioned/ represents/ looks like/ripped from (thereby being inspired by FT's ads), Kuwait's advertising industry will come to be known as one that FT's creative gave birth to. Let's just hope that doesn’t happen.
And to all the FT employees/ agency people in here, i saw a program on cheetahs on Nat Geo yesterday night. Animal planet’s got something on cats coming later this month. You might wana sue them both. (did I just cal for remarks like – “Wow, you watch Nat geo/ Animal Planet? Isn’t that for losers/ girls/retards?” or “By cat, did you mean pussy cat?” or even “But FT used a monochrome cat, that’s different!” ?!!! Yeah, I pretty much did. The nature of remarks in this blog tend to give you that understanding. Grow up ya’ll )
Ignorance sure is bliss! Keep up the good work ya'll.
Peace!

@ BIGB, say it again! After seeing mediocre, watered down, pathetic creative in Kuwait for the last 11 years, my brain goes into freeze mode everytime I see an ordinary ad in down-under that would probably qualify some of the "creative hotshop" agencies of Kuwait for multiple awards at every summit in the Middle East.
I visit ads2blog purely for the kick of seeing Kuwait's creative never change since 1997 and ahem, also because of the caustic barbs of KRE8TIVE. Not that he is an Indian as the racist Jess said but that I am one!

Jess: You tell people to talk about the ad and not about you, meanwhile you're last 4 comments are totally irrelevant to the ad and does not add value to any discussion. If you have issues with people's nationalities/races/ or whatever, then you are right, that is your problem. Don't bring it here.

@ Jess, if I was in Kuwait I would've been happy to teach you some advertising jargon. But fortunately for you I have moved to down-under & I cannot administer any medication for the foot-in-mouth disease that you are presently afflicted with.
