THE BRIGHT SPOT

Much ado about Slogans…

01.07.2012 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Couldn’t help but be amused at the controversy (although mild) the new tourism slogan generated when it was launched (or rather “leaked”) in social media yesterday.

From the very unpopular “Pilipinas Kay Ganda” (sounds like Vice Ganda, eww)…

which looks very much similar with Poland’s country logo (in font and concept)…

the new DOT team came up with this new slogan, “It’s more fun in the Philippines”…

which is a tad better than the first one, and would have been perfect, only if nobody discovered this 50’s ad promoting Switzerland (source:Β  interakyson.com):

The coincidence doesn’t bother me, really, but the Philippine map in the new logo doesn’t get my approval. Β  What does the map has to do with the fun concept of the new slogan?

That aside, I am liking very much these ad materials created by the same team behind the new logo (BBDO Guerrero), which are intended for use abroad (source:Β  chuvaness.com).Β  They’re really good and the backdrop pictures by George Tapan were just wonderful and perfect with the catchy phrases:

 

 

Oh, by the way, BBDO Guerrero was also the ad agency responsible for the hugely successful “WOW Philippines” campaign used by the DOT before…

…which is still the best slogan for me.

#throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I t #throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I took mommy and daddy to a double date at Rockwell Powerplant. Today is daddy's 11th month in heaven πŸ’œ The coming weeks are sure going be tough for me because the painful memories from last year will start coming back as we approach his 1st death anniversary. I miss our family bonding time whether in Cebu or Makati, at the mall or simply at home. The over-extended quarantine has made it very difficult for us create new memories as a family (outside videocalls, that is). But I know that with God's grace we will overcome. πŸ™
