What are the conditions for a good trademark?
(1) Markedness
A trademark should be simple and marked, and it should be significantly different from other people's registered trademarks, so that people can understand it at a glance and never forget it. Do not deliberately imitate or insinuate the names or graphics of others, especially well-known trademarks, and try to avoid? Botanical garden? 、? Zoo? Or? Buildings? Choose those flowers, birds, fish, insects, pavilions, famous mountains and rivers that people have long used, and which ones have strong narrative and practical significance 2. Weak trademark? .
(2) Wide adaptability
The name or graphics of a trademark should be adapted to the trademark laws of various countries, the psychology of consumers, the languages, customs and religious beliefs of all ethnic groups; It is also suitable for use in various occasions (such as packaging and decoration, various advertising media, enlargement, reduction, hollowness and stereoscopic). If a trademark is passable in normal use, but it needs to be reduced for some reason, the original small print is reduced to an unrecognizable fuzzy thin line due to the imbalance in the size ratio in the trademark pattern, and this trademark cannot be called a good trademark.
(3) Clever symbolic
trademarks can neither directly represent the quality, main raw materials, functions, uses and other characteristics of goods, nor exaggerate or deceive, but trademarks can not be far from the fundamental attributes of goods. Therefore, a good trademark name should be rich in profound connotation and implication, with clever symbolism, such as? Pull back? Brand sneakers? Bailing? Brand electronic organ? Mitsubishi? Brand cars, etc.
(4) A high degree of artistry
A trademark must be beautiful, novel and touching, with a unique artistic style, so as to give consumers an artistic beauty and make the goods marked with the trademark have a good buyer. Like what? Lang? The wine brand is strong and remarkable. CocaCola? The trademark is fluent and eye-catching. Bailing? Musical instrument trademarks such as real larks are ready to come out.
(5) the convenience of publicity
As the saying goes: Good wine also depends on yelling? . Therefore, in addition to the above requirements, a good trademark should also be easy to call, easy to write, and easy to combine clever language as an advertiser's sentence for advertising. It can be seen that the Chinese characters of Crazy Grass are not easy to write and remember, and the separate graphics are not convenient for calling and advertising, so they are not suitable for being used as trademarks alone.
