Carrefour com nova logomarca e campanha

carrefournew.jpg

Com mais de 15.000 lojas em 35 países, gerando bilhões em vendas, a cadeia de supermercados francesa Carrefour é inegavelmente um dos varejistas mais proeminentes do mundo.

Carregando a mesma logomarca desde 1966, a varejista resolveu dar uma leve mudada na forma e concepção do seu tradicional “C” estilizado.

Para quem não sabe, a logomarca do Carrefour diz respeito à sua origem, na França, em 1959. A primeira loja foi aberta na cidade de Annecy, perto de um cruzamento (em Francês, “carrefour”), e a logo consiste de duas setinhas, representando essa encruzilhada, e suas cores (vermelho, branco e azul) representam as cores da bandeira francesa, com o claro formato da letra “C” na cor branca. [wikipedia]

Eu, particularmente, nunca gostei da logomarca do Carrefour, e confesso que sempre eu me perguntava o porquê da conservação de uma identidade visual tão imutável. E no começo de setembro, junto com uma nova campanha intitulada “Positive is Back“, o Carrefour lançou uma nova logomarca ligeiramente modificada.

Mudança: Velho (amarelo) e sobreposição do novo (azul)

O novo ícone parece não querer perder muito a velha forma já tão conhecida e perceptível no mundo.

A maior mudança, mais do que a forma ou a tipografia, é a introdução de uma gama de cores gradientes para o ícone, como você pode ver na página do Facebook [aqui].

Os primeiros comerciais desta nova campanha levam mensagens de otimismo aos franceses, numa busca por melhorar a vida de seus clientes. Veja alguns dos filmes [aqui].

What My Job-Hunting Tour Has Taught Me About the State of the Biz

What Social Media Can Learn From Multicultural Marketing

Conducting research into the various content and mediums most valued by different segments of the multicultural audience is a necessity. This is particularly important in the social-media game, given the minority market's high adoption rate of new means of accessing and sharing content, entertainment and opinion — often about brands. But this culture-based approach shouldn't be limited to the multicultural sphere.

Halo 3 ODST

A Microsoft e a Bungie Studios continuam a missão de ampliar o tom emocional de “Halo”, assim como foi feito na premiada campanha de lançamento do terceiro episódio da série.

Para promover a expansão do game anterior, “Halo 3: ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers)”, que chegará ao mercado no próximo dia 22 de setembro, as duas companhias estrearam ontem o filme abaixo. Mais uma vez live action, sem mostrar uma única cena do jogo.

A intenção é atrair um público que não seja especificamente os gamers hardcore, mas esse tipo de produção anda criando ainda mais hype em torno do longa-metragem nunca definido de “Halo”, ou seja, jsutamente para aqueles que são fãs da série.
