'The Observer is not as thick as the Sunday Times', badge c1989. In response to the Sunday Times' introduction of a number of new sections in 1988, the Observer launched an advertising campaign emphasising quality over quantity. Badges, car stickers and posters featuring the slogan could be purchased by Observer readers from 26 February 1989. Nick Morrell, The Observer's Managing editor, explained at the time: 'quality is to be the watchword of Observer strategy' as opposed to The Sunday Times' 'Department Store' approach.
