Building on my last post, here are a few more fun trademarks I spotted in Hong Kong.
Can you imagine choosing to get your hair cut at the “Harvard of Hair”? Having a suit made at “Very Good Tailor” or its new incarnation, the “New Very Good Tailor”? (One would think they could upgrade their image simply by cleaning the seagull feces off their sign.) How about taking language classes at the Obama Language Centre?
It seems crazy, but some businesses use these trademarks. They apparently believe doing so gives them a competitive advantage.
Undoubtedly, cultural differences played a role the adoption of these marks. Still, these outlandish examples demonstrate that sometimes, less is more. If you need to shout that you’re the “Harvard of Hair,” you probably aren’t.
