Sunday Morning on 12 April 2015. The Money Issue.
Anthony Mason does the "money issue" on April 12. Lee Cowan does the cover story on trademarks in "what's in a name."
Second, Anna Werner on art in money. Third, Tracy Smith on Jeremey Piven. Fourth, Seth Doane on "in the pink" in Japan, about cherry blossoms. Fifth, Donald Trump. Headlines: Obama and Castro meet in Panama City. Reported by Major Garrett. Hillary Clinton set to announce she is running for president. Funeral of Walter Scott. Jordan Spieth at Masters. Weather 60s in northeast.
Pulse. World's richest 80 people have same wealth as half the world's population.
**Cowan's report on naming products begins with Abbott and Costello's bit on "who's on first." Lexicon of Sausalito, CA. Outback. Onstar, Pentium, Dasani. Clip of Don Draper: carousel. Singer, Hoover. Later: need to be bigger than own name. Tesla. A good name is like poetry. Sound symbolism. The sound of the letter "b". Blackberry. Enjoyment and ease. Strawberry. then Blackberry. Swiffer. Swiping and sweeping. Dibs. Febreze.
“Just how important is a name? My simple answer to this is, nothing will be used for a longer period of time or more often than a company’s name. It’s not just a creative exercise. It’s a strategic one.”
- David Placek, The Globe And Mail, May 2014
