The main visual and core concept of the ad is clip art!!! Check out an older post on this blog relating to this: source of inspiration
Clip art, in the graphic arts, refers to pre-made images used to illustrate any medium. Today, clip art is used extensively in both personal and commercial projects, ranging from home-printed greeting cards to commercial candles. Clip art comes in many forms, both electronic and printed. However, most clip art today is created, distributed, and used in an electronic form. Since its inception, clip art has evolved to include a wide variety of content, file formats, illustration styles, and licensing restrictions. Clip art is generally composed exclusively of illustrations (created by hand or by computer software), and does not include stock photography. source: wikipedia.

This is an ad with “balls” J; Christmas tree decorations “balls” are used as the main visual to send out the Islamic Eid Al Adha greeting – Not a good idea for a bank that is in the process of becoming Sharia’a compliant.
the inspiration for this creative concept is from www.shutterstock.com; just replace the lantern with a pearl

It is sad to see a big advertiser such as Wataniya Telecom working with an internationally affiliated agency such as Impact & Echo BBDO producing “creative” work of this level.
Clip art are not supposed to be used in such a way for such a client by such an agency. Whatever happened to differentiation, corporate image and originality?
The devil is in the detail

Creativity for Dummies: Design sport event logo in 3 easy steps

Voila…. you have one fancy logo!
What more can I say? These ‘logos for sale’ sites are being used everyday. Someone was bound to point it out! Is it an embarrassment to the agency/design company who delivered the logo to the client? Only if they charged a bundle for it!

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.
A copycat is a person that mimics or repeats the behavior of another. The term is often derogatory, suggesting a lack of originality. The expression may derive from kittens that learned by imitating the behaviors of their mothers. – Wikipedia.

This is yet another example of 100% investment in media space and 0% investment in a concept; Again all the ads come from Kuwait. One is for Hyundai automotive and the others for underwear to resist the winter cold from inside 
they were published in the same time frame. I wonder what is so special about the character featured in both ads. It is a clip art after all.
