It's amazing how similar it is, yet you can tell in an instant that it isn't Apple. They have something that goes just a little bit further for some reason. I know one thing, those sunshine stripes wouldn't be there if Apple's ad agency had done this.

i dont mind the stripes. but ur right. it does go beyond apple's simple but striking designs

I guess, if you mean there is a siloute like the commercials from few years ago.

Wasn't the whole silhouette design by Apple "taken" from the shoe company Lugz? I thought there was a law suit over it. There was another one of Apple's ads that the idea was "borrowed" from another source without permission.

That, and Apple's silhouettes aren't entirely black - there's still some visible detail.

I don't think it's very much like Apple's. Go onto istock and you'll see there are hundreds of silhouette figures, and adding stripes is not a new technique. Add to that the font is Helvetica or similar, not Myriad, and has a drop shadows and I think the link is tenuous at best!

Two things:

1) It's not very apple-like because it's too busy.

2) Who ever esigned the ad probably copied the idea from this site: http://www.unlimitedhoops.com/

As hard as it may be for some of the Apple fans here to understand, Apple didn't actually invent the silhouette. I KNOW! Incredible!!

It's the drop shadow behind the letters. Apple ads don't have a drop shadow.

More so than looking like it was influenced by Apple I'd say it looks influenced by the web 2.0 trend of having these light rays for the background. Its a very very common design element.

It actually reminds me of some art work on iStockphoto, I think if you look there you'll probably find it somewhere in there.

Yeah I wasnt talking about the text. That doesn't look very apple at all. I just think the colours and the silouettes look like ipod ads i see everywhere
