How can we not talk about Nike’s swoosh sign when we talk about brand connect. The bare presence of that sign is responsible for its immense loyalty. The logo makes its consumer crave for buying the Nike product. That is the level of logo penetration that we are talking about. Same is true for the GAP merchandise.
