Coca Cola

Coca Cola is one of the most advertised companies around the world.  You might not be able to read other languages, but if you've seen their logo in Chinese, you still would probably recognize it.  It has an image of the cursive writing with the swirl, and it is forever burned into many peoples minds.  Other companies use the same logo with red and white to make joke shirts, and even though it does not say Coca Cola, that is the first thing that comes to mind.  They have been around for a long time, but how many years would it take a new company to have a logo this well known?

Popular TShirts = Popular Products?

Many companies are able to get paid to advertise by making famous logos that people want to wear on their clothes.  I am guilty of owning a few shirts that have nothing but a logo of a brand on it.  I might not even like the product, but liked the design enough to wear the shirt.  Instead of paying to put posters up, they are selling clothes and making a profit, and getting free advertising.  Would you buy a shirt of a company you don't like if you really liked the shirt?
