An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that are deceptive or misleading. The information gathered by the eye is processed by the brain to give apercept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types of illusion – literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological illusions that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type – brightness, tilt, color, movement, and cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences. – Wikipedia.

Creativity for Dummies: Design sport event logo in 3 easy steps
1. Visit logo designer website
2. Play around with colors
3. Add one football
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.

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.

Please note that telepathy can happen but NOT in this case. To prove this point feel free to print one of the logos on a transparent sheet of paper and place it precisely on top of the other logo then you will see that it is a perfect match of every single curve proportionately which means it was simply traced from the original logo and applied an illustrator brush. So much for creativity.

Mazen M. Fayad, Executive Creative Director, JWT Kuwait
“On behalf of JWT Kuwait, JWT creative team and myself I would like to congratulate all the winners at the KAAA especially agency/network of the year FCB Horizon.
Mabrouk.
Although JWT Kuwait harvested 10 awards (4 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze), we were surprised that none of the work that was celebrated at the regional and international ceremonies (New York Festivals, Dubai Lynx and Mena Cristal) had won. Then again, while international recognition means a lot to us, being respected and admired locally shows that our work is well-targetted and relevant to our business, our clients and our immediate consumers.
On that front, and I’m sure you would all agree with me that the level of advertising including those we had won is still not up to all our desired standard. Is it because of the nature of the market? Is it because of the budget factors? Is it because we are not up to the international level? Is it because we have conformed to the status quo? Or is it because of the qoz? Frankly, we have the tendency of turning all these questions into invalid excuses but at the end of the day we all want to produce great work.
So let’s do it!
As creative directors, we owe it to our talents to bring out the best in them. If they can’t do it on their restricted briefs, let them do it pro-actively. This is their motivation – and trust me we would all be surprised (even on the business side). So let’s not bash one another for what was released and what was not and what is ghost and what is not, instead, let’s celebrate good ideas wherever they come from and raise the standard of the industry we work. Because on any given night, winning another award is not as orgasmic as winning the one we are all proud of”.
