Brand Identity


When I think of POLO byRalph Lauren I think of clothing for the people who seek class in their attire. Everyone I know says Polo makes them think of classic and classy business attire.


POLO brand was named after the actual sport called polo which is a sport known worldwide for its class and elegant style. The symbol for polo is a man on a horse who is obviously playing polo. Polo by Ralph Lauren was influenced by the european style but because it was created in America and revolutionized attire among the american upperclass it is a big plus for consumers in america but for consumers in europe as well.


The brands symbol is normally seen with a white background and blue horseman which are just classic, basic, simple colors. Polo has been around for awhile and over time have been very successful therefore opening up a lot of doors for philantrophy. Polo has built a center for treating cancer and prevention, started the pink pony campaign to help raise funds for the research of breast cancer, and a american heroes fund that provide the kids who suffered losses from 9/11 with scholarships.


Polo is known to have redifined america's style of class and elegance. People believe that wearing Polo will provide you with the look of success, class, and sophisticaion all in one. This is because it is Polo's brand identity.

BRITNEY SPEARS



Britney Spears 10 years ago was thought to a pop diva mega superstar.. That was the "brand" "Pop Star Sensation" She seemed to have it all. Fame, Fortune, and Fans that adored her. But recently things haven't been going so well for her. She got married, had kids, got divorced, lost her kids, and some would say lost her mind.
Britney has been under this spotlight since she was like 12 years old and it was only a matter of time before the things got hot!!
The PR Britney Spears got was crazy..Every magazine had her face on the cover, with horrible headlines about her. It broke her down. People looked at her no longer as a star but we saw her as crazy.

When she decided she wanted to try and make a comeback of course no one really believed in her..and the media slandered her for her attempts. They criticized everything she did.

So when you look at it from that point of view, her brand identity was altered by the media attention in a very negative way. But now if you take a look at Britney is coming back strong..sometimes it takes going through the bad to get to the good things in life..and I think its her turn to reclaim whats hers.




GO BRITNEY!!!
