It’s fascinating how many “creative” “leaders” have been celebrating the public failure of a campaign that took risks. I guess you’re celebrating because you think this company is being punished for being “woke.” What a sad little life you have.

“Woke” going from being widely considered a compliment amongst various communities, to being used as a right wing slur for anything that includes non-white, non-heteronormative codes is, in fact, on my bingo card, but Jesus, has this game become more intolerable by the second.

The campaign or rebranding or whatever was garbage, but it’s only “woke” because you don’t like seeing non-White and/or queer people in your White brands’ advertising. Just admit that, so we can all stop pretending the helicopter to the top of Everest was as taxing as the climb, and get on with criticizing how bad the casting, art direction, tone, copy, etc. was, like normal creative people.

Agree w senior copywriter 1. New logo is cool and it’s a suuuuper big stretch to find the rebrand political or woke

@ ACD 2

I disagree with the new logo. While on a graphic design level it looks great, especially the inverted relationship between the J and the R, the airiness and roundness doesn’t seem to connect to any deeper meaning.

Fuck this hyper agenda-driven headline and fuck those who celebrate it.

Fuck the nazis and the racists and the right-leaning anti-progressives trying to turn back to clocks to 1955 constantly pushing a narrative that “woke” is an insult.

Fuck the anti-humanist agenda and the fuckers who fuel it.

And fuck the myopic shitheels blaming the agency for destroying the brand, since they seem to forget that marketing always follows product, and never the other way around.

Fuck anyone for shitting on anyone for trying to solve a problem in creative and unconventional ways.

But most of all, fuck the inbred, ignorant, mountain-dwelling rednecks and hillbillies who couldn’t pull their dicks out their cousins long enough to consider that voting for this 4th reich demagogue might not have been the right choice, and allowing this neo-ultra-conservative campaign of hate and xenophobia to flourish.

Watching America burn and sink into a footnote in history while Kid Rock supplies the soundtrack is the best ad I’ve ever seen for popcorn.

The idea was to “delete ordinary” so they showed a lot of unique / unusual people. It just didn’t work for the brand. How is this “woke” or whatever?
