Wys jou flag
A local ad agency, Net#work BBDO, just so have to be geographically located on the infamous Cape Town Stadium ‘fan mile’ [the walk from the centre of the city to the stadium] and not being ones to miss an opportunity – have decorated their building accordingly.
All the countries scheduled to play in Cape Town
On the subject of World Cup + Advertising – the BBC have and interesting recipe for how you too can make a cracking World Cup advert. Can’t believe the Carlsberg World Cup advert cost them £750,000. Eish! They should have made it here – would have been much more reasonable.
[thanks Alexis and Sophie]

Except that they’re flying the flag the wrong way –

Very true broutjie –
# When draped vertically, a flag should not merely be rotated through 90 degrees, but also reversed. In the case of the South African flag, the black triangle must be uppermost and the red band to your left. (One “reads” a flag like the pages of a book – from top to bottom and from left to right – and after rotation the results should be the same.)
# The flag may not be defaced by placing slogans or any writing or design directly on the field of the flag. Any writing should appear next to or underneath the image of the flag.

Thanks for the heads-up. All I asked for was our white hash logo on red. An over-enthusiastic art director obviously could not paint inside the lines and it just got bigger and bigger. And now we have a huge flag which is apparently the wrong way round. We’re terribly sorry if we’ve upset anyone. There will however be no lashings on Football Friday. Red on yellow shirts is wrong, no matter how you look at it.
And well done to the team responsible for the big vuvuzela. It’s awesome. Apparently it has a foghorn that goes off every time a goal is scored, is this true?

Its awesome that you guys just put it up Ivan. Don’t think anyone will seriously hold the errors against you.
Think Jupiter are responsible for the giant Vuvu – nice one.
DIVA!

This agency is just totally on it, real time! I mean make the circle beeger. The flag whether it’s facing up down side ways – anyone who is anyone can see it’s the SA flag! What matters is the enthusiasm to be part of this big event that the nation is going through.
Well done guys, the place looks fantabulous in a DIVA kind of way and cant wait to get back.
