GAP What Went Wrong?
I believe there were several things that went wrong with the Gap logo change. I don’t think Gap had an effective launch strategy or plan if there was a negative reaction to the introduction of the new logo. Many times an initial negative reaction may not be a bad thing but because they were not prepared they within 96 hours of the original launch had retracted the new logo.

Gap is trying to be known as a hip designer brand but Helvetica is perceived as a bland ancient choice. This style was popular in the 60s and 70s and his associated more with the stiff corporate identity then hip and stylish.

I feel that my brand is a leader. I feel that I demonstrate an ability to lead both in my career and in my personal life.

Essay on Response to Thomas Paine's quote

due to the growing issue of racism, the substantial gap between economic classes of wealth, and the ever-increasing taxes that citizens must pay. All of these issues only further disprove Paine’s statement about America. One of the points of Thomas Paine’s statement that is the very false today is the fact that, “the poor are not oppressed and the rich are not privileged.” In this country today, it is almost the complete opposite. The gap between the rich and the poor has never been greater…

Wage Discrimination Against Women

address, President Obama went as far to say that “Women make up about half our workforce. But they still make seventy-seven cents for every dollar a man earns.
