Ahhh, deja-vu :P
There are difficulties in working cross-culture adverts. Yes, there are difficulties and psychological hacks. For instance; The 'royal purple' used by Canonical is considered...well..a 'luxury' colour, often items of high price/high-quality have it as their packaging material. However, there is a subset of spain which use the same colour for their bio-hazard bags. Likewise, in terms of hand signs, a 'two' (two fingers, palm facing you) is the sign for 2 in America, in the UK, however, it is an offensive sign. Most global companies keep track of these little quirks of cultures, and failing to do so can, of course, render an entire advertising campaign useless. -Dante On 6 December 2010 19:32, alan c <[email protected]> wrote: > A recent comment here about aspects of adverts in different countries > raised a nice point.
