Thanks Behdad for pointing out this interesting advertisement campaign by HSBC. I’m very surprised how a word, printed on top of an image, can completely reverse the impression that the image makes on you.

Update: The links seem to be dead by now.

For whatever reason, I disagree completely. The word doesn't change the image at all for me, but the word 'romance' on top of the creepy wolf-moon is slightly disturbing.

So how about the other ads on their website? I don’t find all of them great :-)

It's an interesting idea but I'm not hugely impressed to be honest. I do think you picked the best one for the post.
