TRADEMARKS
The trademarks reproduced here represent the key visual phrase that conveys the essence of what is useful for the corporation to communicate about itself. They are part of total visual linkage systems that identify all divisions of the corporation, connect them to the parent and signal the total scope of the company. The process involves first, a comprehensive study and analysis of the organization and its marketplaces. Second, design activity, in which the established goals are translated into visual terms. Third, the implementation of the identification system in every area of corporate expression. And fourth, the creation of a Graphic Standards Manual to aid the client in monitoring the system. Trademarks here include: AT&T, ALCOA, Rockwell International, Celanese, Warner Communications, United, Hunt-Wesson, Continental, United Way, Lawry's, Ajinomoto, Security Pacific Bank, Ducommun Inc. Dixie, Paul Harris, Ticor and Quaker.

PACKAGING
Packaging is a vital component in the marketing mix. The package must first function as an appropriate container within the framework of cost and shipping requirements. Equally important, the package should be responsive to the consumer's desire for information about the product, and reflect the key marketing issues. Packaging here includes: The Quaker Oats Company, Quaker Product Line Extension, Burry's Girl Scout Cookies, Northern Brand-American Can Co. Northern Grand Product line, Division of Hunt-Wesson Foods, Wesson Cooking and Salad Oil, Lawry's Foods, Inc.
