Yellow Pencil for BBDO Cape Town
LONDON: Out of merely two South African nominations this year, the country's only Yellow Pencil at the 2008 D&AD Awards has been scooped by BBDO Cape Town in Radio Advertising for its Marshall Music “Drums” commercial - one of the only two Yellow Pencils in Radio. The awards ceremony, at which an unprecedented number of Black Pencils were handed out, took place tonight, Thursday, 15 May 2008, at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

“Drums” also received a Merit award at The One Show, also in New York, on 8 May. For more, see Bizcommunity.com's guest blogger's coverage of the D&AD Awards on the Bizcommunity.com breaking news blog.
“Another record broken - the first time in our 45-year history when six Black pencils have been awarded,” said D&AD president Simon Waterfall. “This goes to show the impact this diverse range of creative fields are having in pushing forward the wider industry, marketing, and popular culture.”
The Black Pencil was presented to six creative teams: Fallon's ‘Gorilla' for Cadbury won in TV & Cinema Advertising, ‘The National Gallery Grand Tour' by The Partners in Poster Advertising, ‘Get the Glass' by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, and Projector Inc, for ‘Uniqlock' in Online Advertising. Apple won two Black Pencils for the iMac and the iPhone, ,making the multinational design company the biggest single winner of Black Pencils in D&AD's 45-year history, with six won since 1999.
Total of 64 Yellow Pencils
A total of 64 Yellow Pencils were awarded across 30 juries. BBH and Hakuhodo set the benchmark by winning the first two Yellow Pencils in Mobile Marketing. WCRS won two Pencils in TV & Cinema Crafts for ‘Effortless' for Brylcreem and Nintendo UK won two Yellow Pencils in Gaming for Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
Brazilian designers won two Yellow Pencils this year - Marcio Kogan Architect and Isay Weinfeld both won in Environmental Design. Australian design group Mash won a Yellow Pencil in Packaging Design for their wine labels for Vittolo. Motion Blur won one of three Yellow Pencils in Viral for ‘Train' for Hydro. JWT San Juan won the first Yellow Pencil for Puerto Rico for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Concluded Waterfall, “I, of course will now no longer talk to any of these winners, having failed to bag one of the most elusive and exclusive awards on the creative planet. I can only sulk and plot their downfall - terribly English of me! The D&AD Black Pencil: creative natural selection at work.”
All of the winning work can be viewed at www.dandad.org/awards08. The D&AD Annual 2008 will be published in September and will be designed by Neville Brody.
