According to the guys over at BannerBlog -  'Determined to Be Different' is registered trademark # 1211855 of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, lodged by CBA's Legal Counsel John O'Sullivan on November 23, 2007.

There's also a website that will eventually reside at http://www.determinedtobedifferent.com.au/

Please someone tell me this is a joke!

You can see the viral here

It might be a hoax, looks totally different to what their ads normally are like

CBA have definitely gone against the norm here, haven't they. It will be interesting to see if it succeeds and if any of the other banks follow suit. It would be a challenge for banking institutions to market their services, as it can be quite a mundane area.

Is it just me, or do the little koala's in their motor buggies remind you of the movie, Mad Max...

#UPDATE#
I just saw that over at BannerBlog they've now added the full "Dare To Be Different" ad - seeing the full version (with the added context) now puts things into a lot more perspective.

Check it out here

yes the full advert is actually very funny check it out from a very conservative bank like comm bank - quite funny

They obviously have a lot of money for advertising - thats a lot of money to put towards a laugh

Maybe it is what they need to shed their old conservative image - for me they'll always be "get with the strength" I still remember my first yellow elephant piggy bank

Yes I agree with Jacky I also remember the old Comm bank 'get with the strength' ad and of course all the primary school banking days - shows our age perhaps :)
