LOGO

William Rosenberg founded Industrial Luncheon Services in 1946 as a company to deliver meals and "coffee break snacks" to customers in the outer reaches of Boston, Massachusetts.

His business saw success and followed by opening up his first coffee and donut shop called, "The Open Kettle". In 1950 he opened the first store known as "Dunkin' Donuts", which is still standing today at 543 Southern Artery in Quincy, Massachusetts.

"Marlboro Miles" on three packs of Marlboro Menthol Lights, oldest to newest. When the program was discontinued in 2006, the packs were redesigned as well (at right)

As a tie-in to the new "Marlboro Man" advertising campaign, Philip Morris began including "Marlboro Miles" above the barcode on each pack of Marlboro cigarettes. These Miles could be redeemed via a mail-order catalog for a variety of merchandise emblazoned with the Marlboro brand and logo, running the gamut from cooking implements and camping gear to apparel and lighters. This promotion--similar to the "C-note" redemption system for coupons found on packs of Camel cigarettes--was phased out in 2006. The redemption campaigns were referred to at various times as "Marlboro Country Store" and "Marlboro Gear"

In the 1980s an urban myth spread throughout the United States and even Europe, that Marlboro packaging carried imagery related to the Ku Klux Klan[4]. The myth held that the Klan owned all, or a major part of, the Philip Morris company, and that Philip Morris himself was involved with the organization. And the symbols on the sides of the Marlboro represented 'K,K,K', as well as Marlboro upside down being seen, by some, to read 'Orobl Jew'. Also, when the Marlboro pack is upside down, as you cover the top half of the letters, you can allegedly see an image portraying a man and a midget being hanged; finally, if you look between the legs of the prancing horse the white outline resembles the infamous Ku Klux Klan hood. These allegations are unfounded - to own even 1% of the company would require over $500 m, and Philip Morris was a British tobacco merchant.

In 1873, Levi Strauss & Company began using the pocket stitch design. Levi Strauss and Nevada tailor David Jacobs co-patented the process of putting rivets in pants for strength. On May 20, 1873, they received U.S.Patent No.139,121. This date is now considered the official birthday of "blue jeans." The two-horse brand design was first used in 1886. The red tab attached to the left rear pocket was created in 1936 as a means of identifying Levi’s jeans at a distance. All are registered trademarks that are still in use.

The famous logo, depicting the stylized profile of a rabbit wearing a tuxedo bow tie, was designed by art designer Art Paul for the magazine's second issue and has appeared on every issue since. A running joke in the magazine involves hiding the logo somewhere in the cover art or photograph. Hefner said that he chose the rabbit as a mascot for its "humorous sexual connotation", and because the image was "frisky and playful".

The arrow serves a dual purpose - it indicates Amazon has A to Z of everything and represents the smile brought to the customer’s face.

Car commericals

1)Toyota meet

I find this advertisment veri interesting. I remember seeing this last month until now i still remember about it.It gives a big impact in my mind. The commerical shows it in a way tt people will not get it in the begining but later about in the middle part of the commerical then they realised that the commericals is talking about a car.Although it doesn't have any funny elements to it, it still attracts the viewer to watch it and pay closer attention to it. It is showing that the cars are very conveient and travels fast. The chair is begin represented in a normal chair.It is showing that even a normal chair is able to make this person so confortable in sitting to it for long periods and travelling to other places easily, the car is able to do that way.In one sentence is *A simple chair does it all*

2)VW New Beetle - Balloon

This advertisment is trying to attracts the people's attention, it doesn't show whats the man is carrying until the last part.
It gives a funny feeling that the man is carrying a balloon car instead of driving it. It is saying that not everyone wants a car in the end.maybe they just to have a feeling how is like to have a car so they carry a balloon of the car instead. It attracts the people as it is kind of cute to carry the balloon car around and gets people attention to it. It is trying to say by having this car it gets everyone attention.It is showing a funny and cute way in it. It is saying that the car is cute , small and light enough to attracts people attention.In one sentence is *Attention is what we give you.*

3)Volkswagen Commercial - Hand Made

This advertisments is a weird one by using hands and shadows to represent a car commerical. It makes the viewer to watch it and say that by using yours hands and the car you can see a lot of stuffs. In the last ending,it says hand-made perfection. It is trying to say that the car are made for the people's hands to drive on it. It is specially made for the people. It is trying to say that with the consumer's hands and their wonderful cars , they are able to creates wonderful scenes as in travelling to other places. The car is able to bring you and let you see nice scencery.In one sentence is *Hand-made is always prefection*

4)Honda commercials

It is using car parts to show how the car is being put together. It shows the commerical very clearly on how good the material are and they are be used.It give the viewer a more better understanding of the car parts and how it is being placed. Instead of buying the car unknowingly, they also got to know the car details in a more better view. They saw how clearly the parts are being placed to linked to one another.People got to know that it is a car commerical in the begining. It is trying to protray that the car is carefuly placed and according in the making of the process.In one sentence is *Even the slightest movement makes it great*

5)Suzuki Grand Vitara commercial

This adverisment is saying that you can bring this car anywhere as it can go under any conditons. In the snow or in the mountains. It is picturing that the car is a all weather- conditions car. It is able to go in any conditons. And it is wonderful to have this car travelling around it because of the music. It is trying to target to the familes and the people who likes to travel around the world.In one sentence is *Comfort is what we give you no matter what conditions you face*

i think that the consumerism towards the automoblie is more to the style and the newer the better in singapore. Singaporean looks more on the design, the newest car, the price of the car.The consumer in singapore looks on the trend too. If there is more people buying that kind of the car, they will go more towards it.
