The first trademarked brand was Bass Ale, and I kind of wonder what that says about our humanity that first trademarked brand was an alcoholic beverage. ]]> 2020-07-14 13:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_phek_mui/6cl345af6slbos53/wish/654149419 Symbols & Brands koh_phek_mui https://padlet.com/koh_phek_mui/6cl345af6slbos53/wish/654149420 "Branding is the profound manifestation of the human spirit," says designer and podcaster Debbie Millman. In a historical odyssey that she illustrated herself, Millman traces the evolution of branding, from cave paintings to flags to beer labels and beyond. She explores the power of symbols to unite people, beginning with prehistoric communities who used them to represent beliefs and identify affiliations to modern companies that adopt logos and trademarks to market their products -- and explains how branding reflects the state of humanity.]]> 2020-07-14 13:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_phek_mui/6cl345af6slbos53/wish/654149420 05:34 koh_phek_mui https://padlet.com/koh_phek_mui/6cl345af6slbos53/wish/654158841 Now, here is what I consider to be the first case of branded product placement. There are bottles of Bass Ale behind me with the logo accurately presented here in this very famous painting in 1882 by Édouard Manet.

One of the most widely recognized logos in the world today is the Nike swoosh, which was introduced in 1971. Carolyn Davidson, a graphic design student, originally created the logo for 35 dollars. Upon seeing it, Nike CEO Phil Knight stated, "I don't love it but maybe it will grow on me." Maybe it will grow on me. But why is the swoosh so popular? Why is the swoosh so popular? Is it the mark? Or is the marketing? And what can we make of the fact that the Nike swoosh seems to be the Newport logo upside down or the Capital One logo on its side? That is not the only logo with a shared identity.

As a Jewish person, I believe that this logo, this swastika, is the most heinous logo of all time. But it actually has a rather surprising trajectory. The word "swastika" originally comes from the ancient Sanskrit word "svastika," which actually means "good fortune," "luck" and "well-being." In the early 1900s, before it was appropriated by Hitler, it was used by Coca-Cola on a good luck bottle opener. The American Biscuit Company prominently registered the mark and put it on boxes of cookies. The US Playing Card Company registered the mark in 1921 for Fortune Playing Cards. The Boy Scouts used the mark on shoes in 1910, and the symbol was also featured on cigar labels, boxtops, road signs and even poker chips. Even the Jain made use of the logo along with a hand of God many millennia ago. These marks were identical, but with use as a Nazi symbol, the impact became very, very different. 08:26The hand of God, the Nike swoosh and the swastika: they all demonstrate how we've been manufacturing meaning with visual language over millennia. It's a behavior that's almost as old as we are. ]]> 2020-07-14 13:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_phek_mui/6cl345af6slbos53/wish/654175801 Work for P51 koh_phek_mui https://padlet.com/koh_phek_mui/6cl345af6slbos53/wish/668656360 What are possible themes?

My Opinion: 

Symbols and Brands play a powerful role in society and politics and many more. We can see how symbols have played a part in modern society through the “Black Lives Matter” movement. The people created this movement as a symbol for change and non-violent civil disobedience in protest against incidents of police brutality. Through this symbol, the can people feel united as a whole as it reminds them of what they are serving for and that it is something bigger than themselves. This reflects the human nature of wanting to be a part of something. It shows us that we create brands and symbols, dating all the way back from thousands of years ago, because we want to feel united and affiliated. Therefore, brands and symbols are representations of human spirit and nature.
