1. These are but three of my favorite brands, they project status and fun, prestige and class. the are established to the point that their symbols have become recognisable even in the most remote areas. These brands have coined simplicity and sophistication.
2. while improving these brands in any particular way would be difficult, if there was some thing i would touch up or add or an idea that could be worth exploring would be to merge the logo with the name plaing with use of positive and negetive space, creating an even more aestheically pleasing image or brand.
3. This would not only unify the symbol and the name but create a statement.
