Target market was emerging countries (not sure if the pic above is reversed, but if not then obviously one of the countries they were targeting was the United Kingdom).
The next one is definitely a good one, though it may not be a good challenge for those of you 'in the area'. It definitely threw me at first ("Boy, that looks familiar but something's off..." ):
