Representation task- logo's

FedEx are an express delivery company, they provide a service to the public, where it’s a delivery for a large company, small business, or a domestic delivery. The logo was recognised as being one of the top 8 logos in the last 35 years. This is because of its hidden arrow within the logo. The arrow represents the service that FedEx provides. The arrow is pointing to the right which creates the effect of moving forward, however this may vary between cultures as their idea of moving forward may be in the opposite direction.


Evian is a company that produces water. The logo is noticeable to a large majority of the public for the mountains in its logo. They represent the fact that the water in that they provide comes from the French Alps-over lots of ice ages, a filter developed in the mountains which collected this water; this is then turned into the water we drink from the bottle. The colours of the logo ironically are the colours that feature on the French flag- this reflects the facts that the water starts its journey to the bottle in France. The blue mountains in the logo also highlights that the water originates from here as water is normally described as being ‘blue’ and pure. The slogan ‘be young’ also features on the logo, which draws people attention as it suggests that by drinking this water it will keep you in your prime.

  1. Very good comments. To improve, link to the techniques in the language e.g. the abbreviation of the noun express (which initself connotes speed and transport) to '"ex" is a time-saving device which supports the idea of the business transporting your goods quickly and saving you time because they are easy to use and efficient. The slogan for Evian is "live young" which is phonologically similar to Evian as well as suggesting that the product will help you to be energetic and healthy like a young person - powerful connotations.
