see life trough....

"SEE LIFE THROUGH SM".. WOW, shocking....is it for justified reasons??!!Let's see! First, who knows what these ads are promoting? & what could it be? An ad for a publication, a TV station, a documentary, a TV reality show??? Second, I personaly couldn't guess in a million year... Well, well well.. This is done by Saatchi & Saatchi Australia for SM sunglasses... Yep, sunglasses buddies, for adventurous fellows only apparently!!

the way we view the world

"Terrorism has changed the way we view the world" reads this press ad for Discovery Channel where it is publicizing a series of documentaries dealing with the "AGE OF TERROR, GLOBAL TERRORISM IN CONTEXT". This ad won a Cannes Lion Award in 2005...Hmmm...

HERE WE GO-The FINALE!!

Designed by Dalia Fawaz - Beirut Just perfect!! In the above proposed logos, the "raison d'être" (reason2B) of ACT4Q8 is clearly stressed on. The 3 symbols- hand, eye, mouth- surely pass on the message of ACT4Q8's project; you see what you refuse; you decide to ACT, ReACT... & you must speak it to communicate IT.... preferably loudly.... these logos conveys perfectly the very much needed awareness for a better Kuwait! R we going for the last one- #4?...Hmmmmm..... I believe WE ARE!! Scroll down down the pages to review the first ones we got... Eight creative designers have submitted multiple versions of ACT4Q8 logos. Wako's, Firespell & Dalia's are our shortlisted favorite ones... ACT4Q8 coming your way soon.............

It gets better...
