Logo Ka Kaam Hai Kehna - The Job of a Logo is to Talk

Image
  Every time, they talk about Logos, the most iconic brand which comes to my mind is NIKE - Just Do It.  So, what did Nike's Swoosh, did to us. According  to a recent study, in US, more Americans have searched or typed in the keyword - Nike over shoes, on Google, when they have searched for footwear. That's the power of the brand and its logo. It talks. A direct Call to act, - Just f....g DO IT - a strong verb. So, did OTC - oppurtunity to see a brand, everytime a sportsperson has worn a Nike's apparels? The first endorser of Nike was Romanian tennis player, Ilie Năstase, since then, Nike never ceased. The fact is that, Nike happens to be the number 1 brand in the world, that invests in sport sponsorships. Forbes, compiled a list where, out of the top 100, Nike must have endorsed 51 athletes.

Brand Identity Design– What does it mean to you? Why should You care?

Image
 Like your face, which is unique in every way, unlike a doppelganger, who happens to be your twin, this isn’t the case in brands. It is not only philosophical and emotional, its identity comes with an important visual component sprinkled across various collaterals associated with it, it’s a representation of a LARGER IDEA.  A collection of elements, which defines the brand identity which a company portrays before its audience is brand identity. Usage of the term brand cannot and should not be used frivolously, branding is an important component before identification of the core brand identity and the designing process, which will eventually shape the perception you are creating before the world, people – generally, like you are in a social gathering, conference, intercultural business meetings at every step, your identity reflects the culture of the organisation. Your brand identity is the mix, which will differentiate you from others in the crowd. The image on the left is of ...

What is in A BRAND Name? Why a Brand Identity?

 They say, naam mein kya rakha hai (what’s there in a name)? Well, Identity is the first thing that everyone needs. “Whether you are an individual or a brand, you need to create your identity first. Creating a powerful brand identity is a significant step towards a great business. There are teams to make all the magic happens, but where is the team, what is the team, can there be a 1 man team or a 1,000 member team?  So, there needs to be a team to make it all happen. But how?? They say, one shirt doesn't fit all, hence, like people, all brands have a distinct identity, those need to be identified. Basically, it's the creative approach in developing the perfect brand strategies has worked wonders for all the brands.     Is like asking, ‘Hello What is your name?’ Now, different people would express or say their names differently. The next obvious question would be, generally in form of questions, to P2P ‘Where are you from? Or What do you do? And then, the commun...

The First Olympic Gold by Abhinav Bindra and Foreign Coaches

Image
Our first Gold was brought by Dehradun, Uttarakhand born Abhinav Bindra at the Beijing Olympics. He is originally from Patiala, Punjab. It was a 10 m Air Rifle event. My friends in Garh Nivaas used to tell me stories about how he has been practicing shooting oranges 🍊at the Bindra Farms near Mohkampur.   Once in the RIVULET edition of erstwhile Big Ma'am s Riverdale School at Balbir Road had Abhinavs photograph with George. W. Bush (Sr) and his trip to Florida that year. I guess it became a talk of our school for half a year, or less if not more. He was my junior then.  Yes, the Gold medal 🏅,  the only image I have of him now, was of 2008, when he got the medal. One of his kind. We were happy that year. This year, we have got far too many medals.  Very very good. I believe we are capable of doing more. We'll get there. Do we need coaches? Foreign? There is no answer to that. Learning can come from anyone, however there has to be an original source ...
