Stock photography consists of existing photographs that can be licensed for specific uses. Publishers, advertising agencies, graphic artists, and others use stock photography to fulfill the needs of their creative assignments. A customer who uses stock photography instead of hiring a photographer can save time and money, but can also sacrifice creative control. – Wikipedia.

Kieron Dwyer
“Consumer Whore”
Graphic, 1999
In 2000, a year after Kieron Dwyer made comic books, t-shirts, and stickers with his version of the Starbucks logo, the company sued him, obtaining an injunction that prevented Dwyer from using the parody until the case was scheduled to go to court over a year later. When the case was finally settled, Dwyer was allowed to continue displaying his logo but only in extremely limited circumstances. No more comic books, t-shirts, or stickers: he may post the image on the web but not on his own website — nor may he link from his website to any other sites that show the parody. In short, Dwyer is permitted to use the logo as long as Starbucks can be confident that no one will see it.

Gola is a kind of Indian Slush Puppie – crushed ice with flavoured syrup on top. This stall, set up outside a shopping centre in what is one of Mumbai’s more upscale areas, has found a cheeky way to reach out to internet-using middle class shoppers – other than supplying “the world’s cleanest Gola” that is.

A logo (Greek λογότυπος = logotypos) is a graphical element, (ideogram, symbol, emblem, icon, sign) that, together with its logotype (a uniquely set and arranged typeface) form a trademark or commercial brand. Typically, a logo’s design is for immediate recognition, inspiring trust, admiration, loyalty and an implied superiority. [1] The logo is one aspect of a company’s commercial brand, or economic entity, and its shapes, colors, fonts, and images usually are different from others in a similar market. Logos are also used to identify organizations and other non-commercial entities.

It is sad that the first gold lion from the Middle East is traced back as a copy cat or an idea that has been done before by two other agencies a year earlier whom already got awarded for the creative idea in a widely publicized international event…yet the UAE advertising industry still boosts about its leading position in the MENA region and its top notch creative’s.
here is and excerpt of what the creative director of Tonic had to say about creativity as it was published in Media Week…
