I agree on it staying power but it's just one of those things you see and go "Wait a minute". About ugly and tacky being more memorable, you just need to see the function of a psychiatrist to know that staying power always goes to the negative. People don't pay $60 an hour to talk about good times. <BR/><BR/>Kelly: I also think this thought has not crossed their minds. Maybe at a company fund raiser after a couple of martinis. <BR/><BR/>Tex: Screw the power, Fight the Hippies. :) BTW Patchouli is not a replacement for deodorant, can anyone please let them know this tiny fact?Jokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224267023770962108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16669458.post-78985931961450884172008-02-05T11:21:00.000-04:002008-02-05T11:21:00.000-04:00Sherwin used to be one of my clients a few years a...Sherwin used to be one of my clients a few years ago and the thought crossed our minds more than once. <BR/><BR/>i think has yet to cross theirs.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819963911944403608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16669458.post-83909264563256751392008-02-05T10:28:00.000-04:002008-02-05T10:28:00.000-04:00Oh, oh… Creative Director in the making… I don’t p...Oh, oh… Creative Director in the making… <BR/><BR/>I don’t particularly like the SWP logo either, but its staying power cannot be denied. It’s been around for almost 100 years and is universally recognized. The fact that it stands as a politically incorrect symbol today makes it even more wonderful. The Green Revolution is a fad, and once that fad passes, the SWP logo will be even more relevant. People tend to take comfort in the familiar.<BR/><BR/>As for the logo’s story (polluting the earth), it can’t help but be a product of it time. <BR/><BR/>Beauty is a non-issue. In fact, people tend to remember the ugly and annoying more than the beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Throughout marketing history, you’ll see that ugly logos are the most successful, recognized, and lasting: Coca-Cola, IBM, Morton Salt, Marlboro, Ford, Colgate-Palmolive, and countless others. <BR/><BR/>They’re ugly and antiquated, but they still do the job.RestrictionsApplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02995688972174465959noreply@blogger.com
