Salha's Unpolished Words

Naomi Klein in her book No Logo outlines her thoughts as to how marketing and advertising by a company has made a dramatic shift from showcasing a product, to the branding of the company name.

In a perfect society, a company’s products and services would rise and fall on their own merits. The best products would rise to the top and lesser products would become unprofitable so they would go the way of the Edsel. However, our society is not perfect and many consumers are sheep. The popularity of a brand typically has more to do with the amount of money that a company is willing/able to spend on advertising and the price point of the item than it has to do with the quality of the product.

Furthermore, we also used Luntz’s principle of simplicity when giving our presentation as we did not delve into the minutia of most of the issues, opting instead for presenting a broad overview and the key findings which supported our proposition. In “Ten Rules of Effective Language” Luntz justifies his brevity claim by showing the number of successful brands that employ short, but memorable taglines such as Nike, Dell and 7-up. Luntz also provides evidence for his advice on using simplicity by stating that the majority of Americans have not graduate college and that, in general, the use of larger than necessary words elicits suspicion (Luntz, 2007).

In the essay “A Language All Their Own,” Nathan Salha (2011) claimed that trademarks should be used “only to protect intellectual invention and the reputations of associated companies,” and Salha wrote that trademarked slogans only exist to regulate the usage of creative slogans among businesses and that they do not limit the freedom of speech (p. 476). Furthermore, Salha (2011) argued that trademarked slogans protect businesses and promote competition by allowing each business to customize its advertisements and distinguish its product from the products of its competitors with clever slogans (p. 477).

it is not the purview of trademark law to dictate morality, no matter how appealing or distasteful a mark may be. The purpose of trademark law is to promote fair competition by preventing consumer confusion and deception in the marketplace. The type of consumer protection at the heart of trademark law is one of source quality, not moral quality(Carpenter).

We live in a world surrounded by brands. They are so prominent that people nowadays have an easier time recognizing brands because of their trademarks (commonly known as logos) than types of plants or trees. To the common eye, a trademark may seem simple or even an easy design, but not everyone can design a successful “logo”. There are certain guidelines that need to be followed, but the most basic and important function that a trademark needs, is the ability to speak several languages. At the end of the day, it is a symbol that needs to be able to cross language barriers, not only because it will create a brand consistency but it will give it the power to compete globally. However, a successful logo will always follow
