Feedback from students, graduates and future student
• Awesome! I really like it... its stylish and catchy!
• I love it...its so good:)
• i liked it i am attending this university in a few years
• It captures perfectly what I feel as an RMIT student; that I'm part of a community gaining knowledge and skills that relate to (and will one day benefit) this fascinating city. Kudos.
• I think this is quite a beautiful commercial. It excites a mood rather than informs.
• RMIT encourages free thinking and individuality
• I really like it! I loved the greys and red, and the song. It's very relaxed, but presented beautifully.
• Sophisticated, intriguing, very RMIT!
• its excellent and makes one proud to be a part of RMIT
• I saw the commercial last night while watching TV. It was only at the end when I saw the RMIT logo that i realised it was an ad for RMIT. I then hoped it would come on again so I could take more notice. It did, i think it's a great ad. Although i prefer the old logo ie RMIT University all on the one line.
• nice
