The results of the test were statistically significant, indicating a significantly higher difference between the liking logo in the experimental condition and control condition. We predicted that pairing the DE 100 IPTV logo with positive image will…

The similarities between the two studies are that the research team for DE100 followed the same approach taken by Chen et al. (2012) and present participants with a slide show of images showing a similarity between the two, DE100 used three fictitious logos, three neutral images (this being household items, one positive image (the happy graduating students) and one image of the DE100 IPTV logo. Another similarity between both studies is that they both showed the images five times so that the…
