Instructors may find it most helpful to use this activity as a lead-in to the topic of branding/logos.

Concerns:

This exercise does not have an in-depth structure to it. It is useful to the instructor for a limited purpose – any further expansion or support material would need to be developed.
Additionally, the instructor would ideally be present as the discussion unfolds to better address student observations and the relevant marketing thought.
Specific learning objectives are not developed/present. However, the discussion questions will easily guide a homework assignment, or an in-class activity and discussion.
