Ferrari: the Ferrari features a unique logo of a prancing stallion that is visibly agitated. It symbolizes the strength and power, a trait which the brand is famous for world over.

Louis Cheskin who was a design consultant and psychologist stated, “Customers would unconsciously recognize the logo as symbolism of a pair of nourishing breasts”,(l. Be) Now I know I have never heard this or even thought this about the golden arches, but to me the golden arches mean McDonald’s. In a dissertation by Speber and Wilson, about the Theory of Revelence,(TOR). TOR can explain how consumers interpret visual advertising. This could help marketers and researchers in advertising. TOR can also explain why some symbols or logos thought to be unconnected with the product became revelent in advertising. Cite. The fourth logo I chose is Apple. Apple logo was designed from the bible. The apple is the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge,( L.Be). Symbolic symbols are a productive way for companies to communicate their products to

“The World of Ducati”: Minoli wanted to develop a global brand “The World of Ducati” that could appeal to a broader spectrum of customers. Minoli’s initiative was “moving from the mechanical to entertainment”. Supply of product that is differentiated [Grant p 222]

For the last 100 years, Chevrolet has prided itself and strived to maintain the core values of the company and vision of Louis Chevrolet through “performance, durability and value.” (Chevrolet, 2015) Chevrolet, Chevy, has branded itself as a key component of American history and cultures, just as American as apple pie and baseball. (GM Buys Chevrolet, 2015) Chevy remains patriotic and All-American through taglines like, “America’s Best Seller” and “Chevy Runs Deep”, a tagline referring to the American Revolution. (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014, p.412) American sporting events are also locations of product branding and marketing for the automotive company.

Gibson Guitar Corp. v. Paul Reed Smith Guitars, LP, 423 F.3d 539, 552 (6th Cir. 2005). Ferrari is distinguished from Gibson because in Gibson the court found that the two defendant’s products were not “clearly inferior” to the plaintiff’s product, which led to the court finding that post-sale confusion could not serve as a substitution for point-of-sale confusion. Id.

Organizations seek of symbolism from the edifices they work in to their mascots, colors, and products. That some company names have become words, ie Xerox, scotch tape, coke, attest to the power of symbolism. Meaning, belief, and faith are central to symbolism not what happened but what it mean show people interpret life is ambiguous

Marketing and Sales represents Ducati’s most significant growth opportunities because their brand management strategy advances the Ducati name into the consciousness of their markets. In addition to motorcycles, Ducati extends the brand by selling accessories and apparel. For sure, Ducati owners will buy these products but perhaps more importantly, the aspirational aspect of the brand drives people to buy Ducati-branded items even if they don’t own the bike. This behavior is seen with the Harley-Davidson brand: many people wear H-D clothing and

“The more similar the marks are, the more likely it is that relevant consumers will confuse their sources.” Kibler v. Hall, 843 F.3d 1068, 1077 (6th Cir. 2016). When comparing two marks, the courts view the marks in their entirety and focus on the marks overall impressions, opposed to dissecting the marks and focusing on their individual features. AutoZone, Inc. v. Tandy Corp., 373 F.3d 786, 798 (6th Cir. 2004). Specifically, the court looks to the mark’s overall impression in the light of what occurs in the marketplace

The use of No. 13 in Chapels mark was its distinguishing factor; in adopting this unique number with reference to ‘clothing’ i.e. ‘apparel’ the marks were used in the same context. This leads to the consideration of whether the goods are competing goods; this is a tricky argument and as per the stated facts could swing both ways, the plaintiff’s does not make dresses for animals, thus, it does not compete directly with the defendant’s product, the defendant could also assert that the plaintiff’s stance on animal clothing would further emphasize in difference in market, and their stance against animal clothing may not be known to its customers or the public unless their requests were directly rejected by Chapel. On other hand, the use of the mark Petpel No. 13 does not seem to convey the message that Chapel is not the source of the goods. The press release by the CEO stating that, it was making fun of the fashion industry was not sufficient and so it may be held that the defendant has not separated it from the plaintiff’s mark and goods. These factors combined argue in favor of likelihood of confusion. Consumer surveys are “useful evidence of the likelihood of confusion,” but “are not required for such a determination.” Anheuser-Busch, Inc. v. VIP Products, LLC, 666 F. Supp. 2d 974, 983 (E.D. Mo. 2008). Likelihood of confusion is not required under dilution, however, the presence of confusion effectively disproves a successful parody (Louis Vuitton v Haute Diggity Dog, LLC, 507 F.3d 252, 259 (4th Cir. 2007)), thus arguing confusion would strengthen Chapel’s argument against parody. The likelihood of confusion is further demonstrated by the survey results, which state that 15% were confused and 60% thought it was a parody. The question arises if it is sufficient if 15% of customers were confused; the percentage of confused people is definitely not minimal.

After viewing the previous examples and analyzing their identity through some critical eyes, it might be easier to understand why these companies are on the top 10 of many lists and reviews online. So if we were to follow the previous rules discussed and used the past marks as inspiration to create a trademark for a catering company in New York City, these could be some of the results. Where there is a play between a more iconographic looks or clean designs in order to foster that idea of a high-end clientele.

The branded product at the heart of the SLP is the Ford Mustang. The Mustang was first introduced in 1964 and has become one of Ford's most iconic brands (Damian, 2006). Automobiles in general are a good subject for the study of branding because the car itself changes every year, but the brand does not. Over time, specific brands become associated with particular attributes, in terms of product category, positioning, price, and in the case of cars their styling, design and the lifestyle attributes that are associated with that vehicle. The Mustang has gone through roughly five iterations, and is currently in its fifth generation (Markus, 2010).

According to perceptual maps, the BMW, Honda, and SAAB cars are the main competitors. This is because their positions are close to the Infinity G20 in the map. Individuals view Infinity G20 as a brand for success. Moreover, they think that it’s more attractive as compared to its competitors. However, the BMW is the most prestigious and most quite, according to the perceptual map. SAAB is the most roomy and most quite car, according to the perceptual map. Also in Exhibit 1, most of the respondents perceive BMW as more prestigious than the infinity G20 in the market.

Kendall Walton is an example of philosopher who has tried to address this problem by advancing on the pretence theory to accept the idea that all talks that relate to fictional names have some form of pretence. Thomasson critics Walton’s theory by stating that, all fictional discourse may not involve pretence. In my opinion, I think that Thomasson’s idea is superior to Walton’s argument because she comes up with a better solution that is less revisionary and that takes the internal and fictional discourse to include pretence while at the same time, allowing fictional names to be used to and refer to fictional characters. In this paper, I discuss how Thomasson builds that theory.

In The Tractable Apostrophe, Lynne Truss examines the history of the apostrophe, asserting the apostrophe’s original purpose was “to mark dropped letters” (Truss 37). Afterwards, Truss inspects the root denotation of the word apostrophe, and she claims, in Greek, the word apostrophe means “‘turning
