Icon Brands
Brands are everywhere. Just look at yourself and count the number of brands you are carrying, from shirt to jeans, from mobile to watch, from deodorant to perfume.
Multinationals spend billions every year to create more brand awareness and improve their brand equity, even that some don’t need this but they keep doing it (best example can be Marlboro).
Some brands become icons and landmarks with their logo or part of their logo, McDonald’s and their yellow arch, Nike and their swoosh, Algida and their heart, and many many more.
Now can you find the brand in the below picture?
Please do so without scrolling down to the comments.
Help me Naming & Win a Book
I am crowdsourcing to name a brand that will embrace under its umbrella personal care products (shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, body cream, hair gel, etc….)
If you feel like playing a naming brainstorming game, comment on this post and you might win 1 book by picking from: The Hakawati, Blink or First Things First.
[>> All books are brand new <<]
I appreciate, no matter what name you will propose, to explain why you think it should be named under that brand.
Wherever you live, feel free to name, the book will be snail mailed to your address.

3 x easyJet
I took the below picture at Paris-CDG airport and it was the first I ever come across 3 airplanes next to each other for any major airlines outside their main airport and in this case it is a low-cost airline, with its well known orange branding: “easy” everything.
I am a big fan of Stelios and if you go through my blog, you will see how obvious this is, but unfortunately I have never flew his low-cost airline easyJet yet, hopefully i will soon.
I would like also to share with you below his company brand manual easyGroup, that I found online some time ago while I was searching for some branding stuff for work.
Viagra – The 11th Birthday
When Pfizer wanted to mark Viagra’s 11th birthday, they wanted to do it in typical, tongue-in-cheek Viagra style. A party blower (featuring a Viagra pill pattern) was created to hand out to internal sales teams. The message on the piece encouraged the sales teams to ‘Celebrate Viagra’s 11th birthday’.
