State Farm Symbols

Decent Essays
When companies are developed they need a symbol that is representative of their values (Kinicki & Williams, 2013). In my previous role, I worked as an office manager for a State Farm agent. State Farm’s symbol is that of three ovals that intertwined. Each oval states the core business of the company: auto, life, and fire. Founded in 1922 in an attempt to help farmers with auto needs, the company later expanded its business to include other lines. Auto, life, and fire remain the core business to this day. Although State Farm’s logo is highly recognizable, I find their jingle equally as significant. “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there” is known by customers and non-customers alike. This statement represented so much of what my

    The humor within the commercial mainly appeals to the parents of teenagers or upcoming teen drivers. Dean Winters succeeds the persona of a “typical” teenage girl driving in her pink car, distracted by her phone. It’s absurd enough to be memorable, which grabs viewers and allows them to recall Allstate Insurance Company. The “teenager” that appears in this advertisement provokes…

    In this year’s Super Bowl, Budweiser ran an advertisement that called “Stand By Me,” which details the process and shipment of water to places in the United States were natural disasters have taken place recently, namely Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico, and California. Throughout the 60 second spot, we see the process and the work of the factories employees particularly the manager of the plant, Kevin Fahrenkrog, put into transferring the normal beer distributor into a water distributor. This advertisement breaks a mold set by Budweiser throughout other advertisements they have routinely run in the past, and is even distinctly different than other advertisements they ran during this year’s Super Bowl. In an attempt to pull on the heart strings of the viewer, Budweiser hopes to win people over to their beer due to their charitable deeds of donating water to those impacted by recent natural disasters. To fully be able to understand and analyze the advertisement, I believe it is important to first understand what Budweiser is, what product they sell, and how they usually go about doing so.…

The commercial, which contained no words, aired only once, so Budweiser would not profit from the worst tragedy in American history.…

With the New Year approaching it was one of my goals to drink more water for I was looking to buy a couple cases of water to stock up on. I went into Stop & Shop and right when I walked in there was a display of Poland spring water all stacked up and with a huge sign displaying the brand name and sale price.

Ethos is present in this advertisement. “Moms Demand Action” is a campaign focused on securing gun reform to promote safety for all, particularly school-aged children. Therefore, this improves the visual’s credibility and effectiveness. Additionally, the font is appropriate and the organization's name and logo are positioned in the bottom right corner of the advertisement.…

She wants her audience to walk away at the end of the book, aware of the “cracks and fissures beneath [the brands’] high-gloss facade (Klein 18).” The opening chapter, “No Space,” educates the reader on how corporate brands came into existence, when they dominated the market and landscapes, and why they are ubiquitous. Klein also describes brands and logos as more than just images companies utilize to identify themselves with; they possess souls, manipulating consumers.…
