Sometimes a single image, symbol or word can transcend all cultures and all languages. The golden arches of McDonald’s, the global corporation envisioned and tirelessly promoted by the late Ray Kroc, would have to full into that category of instant global recognition.
This was shot as we walked down Petaling Street, in the Chinatown area of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on a hot July night last year. There’s no language barrier. There’s no need for a translator. More crucially, there’s no ambiguity about the product.
Now that’s what you call great advertising.
And I couldn't resist the chance to post this image below. As we entered Petaling Street, one of the hawk-eyed Authorbloglets pointed out this delivery motorcycle. Now I have to ask the question - do you know of a McDonald's outlet that does home delivery? Seriously?
