Oman Mobile: Wherever You Are

We are where you are.

Agency: SABCO Art - Oman
Art Director: Tariq Hussain
Copywriter: Siddhartha Banerjee

More advertisements from Oman. It seems that Omani agencies have discovered the value of posting their work on the Internet at places like Ad Blog Arabia or Ads Of The World.

It creates a dialogue about the designs and, in spite of possible criticism, it provides exposure for these agencies and their clients.

This ‘coverage’ advertisement for Oman Mobile is fine, but not entirely a new idea, and maybe SABCO should convince Oman Mobile to change its logo.

Your trash is someone else’s food

So says the UAE Red Crescent, who place this logo and message on trash bins in malls in the UAE (see picture below).

How effective is this message and how does it convey information about what the UAE Red Crescent does?

Or is it just a small public service message the UAE Red Crescent wished to draw attention to and part of its efforts to attract donations?
