Check out the font used for Apple at the end of these ads.
That Big and Small ad is a winner! Run it often, Apple!
It’s the new corporate font for Apple. “Myriad”
the best apple add ever.
I usually don’t like Apple TV spots (a user since ’84). This Big and Small is good! Run it during the Superbowl!! It has mass appeal.
I agree with you on the “1984” Apple commercial… Greatest ever. However, I think Apple made a wise choice on this one… Two “popular” people to spark the non-techie interest. Using a professional athlete is a good move to ditch any “anti-macho” appeal that Macintosh’s may have… Cheers!
This is a Double Winner no question about it. Run with it, Apple.
the new ad reminds me of the Kareem Abdul Jabbar Powerbook Ad right after Kareem retired. Great Move on apples part….Ying and Vern are a great choice.
Was really cool, enjoyed the spot and think it’ll be a real hit. Especially contrasting two different types of people from different fields and who are popular.
Once again Apple does it again!!!
You Go Boyz
GREAT commercials!
Really like the ads, awesome! Especially the “Big and Small”, it shows Apple’s creativity, and at the same time having lots of fun doing what they do.
Slight Detour here: Question, how can I save the movies onto my HD? I really like them and would like to show them more to my friends etc, this way I maybe helping Apple to promote their stuffs? ha ha ha
Cheers.
