It’s interesting that you do not like this campaign. Do I think you should like it? No. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and design/creativity in general is very subjective.

Now, calling vector illustrations iStock is a different matter. The color palette may look like something that is on iStock but, the execution as a whole is something entirely different from iStock. If you look at the video called “transmoflection” you will see the extreme measures put in to come out of with a successful campaign that both embodied the olympic spirit & the city of Vancouver.

Good campaigns do not have to be overly designed and overly crazy. If you remember Paul Rand who designed the IBM logo that was literally an Eye a Bee and a typographic M. Simple? Yes. Un-originial or lacking creativity? No.

If walmart had this campaign I would praise it. Regardless of who runs the campaign you can’t argue when its successful. I love several campaigns that are made by brands I do not support nor like but they have creative advertising and therefore I like the campaigns they run.

I also ask that you communicate what you do not like instead of saying “whatev”. Again, this is highly subjective. Is it too simple of a campaign? Does it not look original enough or have enough character? Does it not embody the olympic spirit or spirit of Vancouver?

Thank you for not being afraid to say you didn’t like the campaign. But, I don’t think piling iStock photo & vector elements in the same category is very fair.
