Kleenex Catches Logo Ovulation Syndrome

kleenex_ovals.jpg

Apparently tissue is experiencing a comeback and Kleenex wants in on hipsters: Our New Oval is a promo for their new oval-shaped tissue dispenser.

Kleenex has been long wedded to the ho-hum quadrilateral silhouette so here’s a half-hearted kudos for thinking out of the box. Though their decision to go oval made us recall the logo ovulation critique Hurty Elbow posed about brands who somehow fall under the misguided impression that oval saves sinking ships.

Check out other promo ads here. And since no hipster campaign is complete without one, take the personality test too. If you’re curious about Adrants’ personality, we are into yoga and wise beyond our years. We don’t know about all that om business but that last goes without saying, yeah? – Contributed by Angela Natividad

The real reason boomer women who raised children, worked full-time, and cared for aging parents without complaining now struggle to accept help isn’t pride — it’s that their entire sense of worth was built around being the person who could handle everything, and slowing down feels like becoming irrelevant

Psychology says people who truly know their worth don’t announce it or defend it — they operate with a quiet certainty that makes negotiation, justification, and proving themselves feel like a language they no longer speak

I lost two friendships in the same year because I kept centering every conversation on my relationship problems — not because I was asking for help, but because complaining about my partner had become my entire personality and I didn’t even notice
