    Nice find, Paul. Perhaps a challenge thread should be started to come up with some more examples.

    Actually sketch, when I worked on a lot of Japanese accounts, it was always make logo bigger and use led retters.

    We always knew we were in trouble when the account executive would come back from the client (pre-computer days), and say, THE CLIENT LOVED THE AD! THEY REALLY LOVED IT. They did ask if they could see one with just the product and a simpler headline, something like, out product is great. Then the account executive would assure us ten ways to Sunday that they would sell the client off the simple ad.
