Clever advertising by Saatchi & Saatchi, Dubai, UAE for Olay Wrinkle Smoothing Cream. Would have been perfect if it were COMMAND – Z instead of CTL – Z.

What the hell is DQ thinking with this new logo? Just awful. There was nothing wrong with the old one but if you are going to “freshen” it up at least do something good. This new one seems like a step back. Something you would see in the 80’s. DQ, you suck at branding!
