66 truly great minimalist ads
Ivan | Fri, 2009-11-13 06:38I love minimalist ads. They feel like they were created without much effort. They are usually quick and easy to get. They minimize visual clutter. The signature of a minimal advertisement is the use of few elements, single color and handful of words to deliver a simple yet witty idea.

Thanks Ivan, these ads are great. I love minimalistic ads but unfortunately, many of my clients do not. Many people mistake it with easy and cheap =(
Thanks, the slim jeans takes-all:) I hope sooner or later we will have this type of ad

Nice collection. Thank you!
Adidas is very good. I like it :)
haha Romeo and Julliet, 'Communication is very important".
I like none of this stuff! When I pay for an ad, I pay for an ad! Not a few lines scribbles on a mostly empty canvas!

That's how a lot of clients respond I think. It's not anything cheap though, you don't just fluke such a great minimalistic ad, there's a lot of brainstorming and sketching behind.
Minimalistic ads actually take a lot of thought, especially really good ones like these. It's not like people just throw crap up there, they are smart well thought out ads that can get a message across using simplicity instead of completely spelling it out.
Great post - I think my favorites are the "free time" ad and the cordless screwdriver ad. Good stuff.
I enjoy the Jeep ads and Ikea ads. Very nice.
