Looks just like what was entered into the 07 One Show from two Circus kids.

Yep, that's an identical idea.

Here is the version that is in Stephen Minasvand's book, courtesy of his website.

That is the exact same one as Dabitch posted above, is it not?

It is, but shows what the other groups looked like when entered into the 07 One Show.

The two photos that I've posted are showing how similar the two ideas were, coming from students, into the 07 One Show Student Competition.

There was a comment on Adsoftheworld.com that mentioned theirs was better because it looked more professional.

The reason I posted the one from his book is because that's what it looked like when entered it into One Show.

That's great. Thanks for posting. It's surely the same idea with a different line.
But Steven's is much better. Better and shorter line. The cup looks nicer. The circus one is too dark.
And other decisions like the craft paper for the sleeve works much better for an environmental org. than just plain white.
Steven thought out all the details. Good going. Goes to show the power of art direction. The produced version is very similar.
Oh and I like the texture on the sleeve. Great.
