Mergers Force Many Firms Into New Era of Trademarks By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor . New York - IUPD - Mergers do not solve all the problems of the companies Involved. In fact, they even bring about some new problems. Mergers or acquisit ions make it diffi cult for the corporate look to keep up with the cor- - Henry Becntoid porate person ality. Through these deals many firms end up with many new product lines, which usually leave them with a host of weak or misleading trade marks without any unifying theme. New Symbol Needed Many firms are in such a different business than they were a few years back that the original corporate symbol no longer applies and maybe even the name of the com pany has to be changed. ,: For the above reasons, and because corporate images are playing an ever - increasing part in th fight for the con sumer's dollar, many com panies are plunging into a new area of trademark appli cation - the corporate identity system. Lippincott & Marg u 1 1 e s, Inc., New York industrial de signers, notes that "corporate identity" is a system in which all of the media under corpor ate control - packaging, signs, advertising and promotion; stationery and forms; build ings and equipment - are in tegrated through design into a consistent projection of the corporate image. Major Growth Factor The company said the grow ing demand for this kind of design work was a major fac- i tor in the 30 per cent growth of its overall design business the past year. While a company cannot really control its corporate image, since it consists of the sum total of impressions of a company among its many pub lics, it can control what these publics see, the industrial de signers said. If you are GE, USS, IBM. or Coca Cola, you have it made because these top cor porate symbols, coupled with well developed programs for their use, will bring consumer recognition in the 90 per cent range. But there are many firms that do not have a symbol, let alone a corporate identifica-1 tion system. ; Lippincott & Margulies said the great importance attached to the end results makes it im portant that the design of; corporate symbols be left up to the professional. I Quick Decisions It cited supermarkets as an example of the importance of "maximum identification." In these stores corporate marks and brand-marks are the "si lent salesmen" in the struggle for survival among a great variety of competitive brands. ; Buying decisions are made in split seconds and symbols with ; low visual appeal die very: quickly, according to Lippin-j cott. There also is the tremen dous competition among de sign forms. There are 10,000 diamond symbols kicking around, plus countless num bers of look - alike squares, torches, hexagons and other devices that have become shopworn in their imagery PYLE BIOGRAPHER DIES Washington - (LTD - Lee G. Miller, former managing edi-' tor of Scripps Howard News-, paper Alliance and biogra pher of the late Ernie Pyle, died Saturday of pneumonia ; at Washington hospital center, i job and no longer serve as meaningful symbols, accord ing to the firm. It said the prime requisites for symbols are to be genu inely distinctive, to be mem orable, to truly reflect the company's business, and to be recognizable in a flash. New trademarks are being registered at the U.S. Patent Office at the record rate of 1,500 a month. There now is a staggering total of 385,000 ac tive marks competing for con sumer attention, and the shop per is being hit by 1,500 mes sages per day. Lenten Message BY MSGR. FRANKLIN J. KENNEDY Editorial Manager Catholic Herald Citizen, Milwaukee (Written for UPI) When was the last time you turned your thoughts to God? You give attention and thought to income taxes and how they will be paid, to pleasing your wife, or hus band, children, boss and friends, to planning a vaca tion or retirement. But when was the last time you thought of God? Isn't it surprising that many of us who call ourselves Christian can go for hours, days, weeks and longer and then be startled by remem bering that we have forgot ten to think about God for such a length of time? God is our Father, our Creator; we are His children, His crea tures. From second to second, our life on this earth depends completely upon Him, who loves us with an unbounded love, Who desires to be close to us. Lent, a period of 40 days, is set aside by the Christian Church as a time of extra prayer and penance. Thus we prepare ourselves to share the joys of Easter - that great feast which proves our faith is not in vain. May each day of Lent find our minds turn ing to God and our actions pleasing to Him.
