Coca Cola Slogans
The slogans used in coca cola brand did not just reflect the brand, but also the time throughout the years. For coca cola’s communication, the slogans provide a simple and direct way about it.
“THE GREAT TEMPERANCE BEVERAGE”, the slogan in 1906, reflected the United States society when there was a time people veered away from alcoholic beverages and a good alternative provided was coca cola.
Meanwhile the other slogans concerned about their sales statistics like “THREE MILLION A DAY” which was in 1917 and “SIX MILLION A DAY” which was in 1925. In 1997, the coca cola company passed in terms of drinks a day, a huge difference from the one billion day mark.
As in 1948’s ‘”WHERE THERE’S A COKE THERE’S HOSPITALITY”, this coca cola slogan concentrated regarding the product’s quality, refreshing taste and its role in entertaining.
The latest slogan was introduced in January 2003 “COCA-COLA… REAL”. This reflected the genuineness, authentic moments in life and the natural role that coca cola played with
In John Standage’s book, A History of the World in Six Glasses, the history of the world is told through the history of six beverages; beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca Cola. The effect that each has had on the world is profound and immeasurable, however, of the six beverages, I have found that coffee has played the largest and most significant role in world history. One way that coffee affected world history is that establishments that served coffee created a social venue for members of the community to bond over various topics. Standage wrote that coffeehouses were hotspots for “gossip, rumor, political debate, and satirical discussion.”, similar to what they are in the present day. These topics led to Kha’ir Beg, ruler of Egypt, as well as his superiors worrying about coffeehouses being a popular meeting place for those wishing to overthrow the government.
One particular logo that comes to mind when discussing identity and differentiation a brand and its six brand elements would be, Target. This company had created a branding through their logo, which itself speaks to many of their consumers in ways such as, savings, deals, and great random finds. Since their existence which began in 1902 and their logo was developed in 1962, the company’s logo has barely changed (Bromell & Cohn, 2013). This to me shows the company has a clear identity that has surpassed many years of changing demographics, and economic turning points.

When one looks at what the social aspect of culture entails, they will find that it contains a wide range of subjects. One of these subjects that was influenced by Coca-Cola was the U.S. soldiers during World War II and the post-war era. During this time, U.S. soldiers found Coca-Cola to be the “most important icon of the American way of life”. To them, it resembled a sacred time, and reminded them of their homes. During the post-war

Rhetorical strategies are used in writing to convey the purpose of an essay to the reader. In the Coca-Cola and Grove Press letters, rhetorical strategies are used to varying degrees of effectiveness to convey the authors’ purposes.

Herbert achieves his purpose through the tone of his writing and his usage of methods of development.

The oval is seen as the face of both the Frida and the locket that the modern Frida (left) holds. The rectangle is seen at the bottom of the traditional Fridas (right) dress. I feel like the shape difference is symbolic of the contrast between traditional Frida and modern day Frida. The rectangles represent the stern, strict and precise rules of tradition. There are many components that add to the depth and concept of this picture, for example the color and lighting.
Ninety-four percent of the earth’s population recognizes the Coca-Cola logo. That’s not an easy feat to accomplish, especially as a company that primarily sells soft drinks. A major reason why Coke is such a successful company is their advertising. In the commercial titled Brotherly Love, Coca-Cola uses calm music, warm lighting, and a humorous story to associate their products with happy memories in the minds of young people with one or more siblings.
Coca-Cola strives to utilize every strategy available to become successful whenever it launches its business in overseas markets.

Coca Cola was first introduced by John Styth Pemberton, a pharmacist, in the year 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia when he concocted caramel-colored syrup in a three-legged brass kettle in his backyard. He first “distributed” the product by carrying it in a jug down the street to Jacob’s Pharmacy and customers bought the drink for five cents at the soda fountain. Carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup, whether by accident or otherwise, producing a drink that was proclaimed “delicious and refreshing”, a theme that continues to echo today wherever Coca-Cola is enjoyed. Coca-Cola originated as a soda fountain beverage in 1886 selling for five cents a glass. Early growth was impressive, but it was only when a strong bottling system developed that Coca-Cola became the world-famous brand it is today.
