Interbrand Australia creative director Mike Rigby says ‘our idea was to create a new species of creatures called Igloo, who are eager to breathe new life into homes across New Zealand. They love to entertain and even speak their own language (Iglish).

I like how they managed to create characters out of a very generic shape while giving each its own unique personal look.

The gradient of the identity lightens from left to right on the identity to symbolise ‘transformation and losing weight’ according to the consultancy.

I think the final design is quite effect as the gradiend indictates a change over time, something which the weightwathcres programme strives to do in people, change thier weight over time for the good.
I think the colourful gradients also added the fun positive aspect in as bright colours are usually asscosiated with young people (youth) who tend to be fit and healthy.

Lightlife, a ConAgra purveyor of meatless foods, launched this stop-motion animated online ad last week from Venables Bell & Partners imagining a fairy-tale plot of land where all the livestock have been replaced with versions of themselves constructed entirely out of edible flora. Set to a takeoff on "Old McDonald Had a Farm," the ad, paints a picture of a place that is an environmentally friendly, slaughterless paradise for vegetarians. They succeed in painting an overall picture of an earth-and-animal-loving ethos that's sure to resonate with the hard-core element of the brand's target market of vegetarians.
