Trademark Infringement, Bethlehem Style: Star and Bucks???

2011-05-22T21:04:00.000-04:00

I am indebted to fellow parishioners at Church of the Redeemer in Sarasota for this photo, which shows the "Star & Bucks" cafe just adjacent to the Church of the Nativity.

"Look very closely...... I guess there are no trademark infringements to worry about in Bethlehem, Palestine...inside the westbank. "

Boeing 747 on BrandlandUSA

2010-02-09T18:19:00.006-05:00

The 747-8 flies, finally.

While Boeing is a brand, some might say that the 747 is a program within the brand. We think it has an identity on its own, though the 747 would not make sense if it were not made by Boeing.

However you position it, the Boeing 747 has one of the greatest brand identities of all, and it is good news that Boeing still finds life in the program, even though there are major challenges. Read about it on BrandlandUSA:

Jumbo Jet Hostel, Stockholm: An old Pan American World Airways jumbo jet 747 is now a hip hostel in Stockholm.

Remembering Bell Labs

2009-05-11T21:40:00.002-04:00

We thought this was a very good book idea about the history of Bell Labs, and glad Dr. Narain Gehani wrote it:

Bell Labs: Life in the Crown Jewel, chronicles Narain Gehani's twenty three years at Bell Laboratories. It is a welcome and needed addition to telephone history. Gehani started work in 1978, when the Labs was fully subsidized and owned by AT&T. He left in 2001, after the Lab switched parent companies, split apart many times, and researchers reduced two-thirds.

AT&T's telephone monopoly generously funded Bell Labs from its 1925 creation until the Bell System's 1984 divestiture. Each customer's bill sent something to the Labs; slightly higher rates subsidizing research and development. This excellent arrangement lasted nearly sixty years, Bell Labs contributing mightily to building the world's best telephone system.

Brand identity comes from the unique contributions of business owners. With time, and generations, brands get more interesting. The New Pass Grill benefits from one of the most expansive, gorgeous views in Sarasota, overlooking New Pass, so that helps alot.

Thinking AH Robins, Wyeth and Pfizer

2009-01-28T00:11:00.002-05:00

Above, some Cascara pills from A.H. Robins, one of the predecessor companies to Pfizer. Read about the history of Robins in our story on Branding tips from E. Claiborne Robins.

We also criticized Pfizer a few months ago, from moving the company from innocent Hai Karate cologne commercials in the 196os to sexual enhancement drugs.

New BrandlandUSA Forum Beta Test

2009-01-23T11:34:00.003-05:00

We are trying out a new part of our BrandlandUSA site. It is the BrandlandUSA Forum, where readers can log under a pseudonym (or their own name, of course) and comment on brand names that they love.

Share questions, promote ideas and even post employment ads. Companies can create links to their products, and consumers can talk about whatever they please.

Register (think of a great pen name if you like) and post some stuff.

We just thought this was an amusing brand; we'd love a Silver & Co. airtight case, though we don't know what we'd use it for.
