INTRODUCTION
For this referece theme i chose to write about „Puma SE”, branded as
„Puma”, a German multinational corporation that designs and manufactures
athletic and casual footwear, apparel and accessories and I chose these
brand, because personally like it very much and I consider it as qualitative.
PRESENTATION OF THE BRAND:
On the debut logo, a predatory cat jumps over the letter “D.” This is a
direct reference to the name Dassler.
1951-1958
1958-1968
1968-1970
Rudolf Dassler felt that the boots did not fully reveal the character of
Puma. After all, a predatory cat is the embodiment of dexterity, stamina,
flexibility, speed, and strength. He wanted to change the existing logo and
commissioned the cartoonist Lutz Backes, with whom his son Gerd Dassler
studied, to do so.
The artist first drew the body of a black panther, and then added the
legs and head of a cougar to it, so that the image as much as possible
meets the requirements of the customer. The owner of the factory offered to
pay a commission fee: 1 cent for each product sold with the Puma logo. But
Lutz refused and asked for a one-time payment of 600 marks. Together
with the money, he was presented with a gift: a sports bag and a pair of
shoes.
1970-1974
In 1970, the silhouette of the cougar changed slightly. Now it is white
with a black outline. The figure has become more dynamic because the
animal is depicted in a jump.
1974-1976
1976-1978
1978-1980
1980-1988
In 1980, the “Formstrip” was again added to the word – this time
translucent.
1988-present
In conclusion, the evolution of the brand “PUMA” from 1948 till today
was an amazing one, being known nowdays as one of the world’s leading
sports brands.
