17. Positioningthe Philips Brand Although Philips was respected for its commitment to quality, the brand was seen as 'traditional'. This was partly because Philips was an old company, having been present in some markets for more than 100 years. In 1995-96, in an attempt to rejuvenate the brand, the company launched a global campaign called 'Let's make things better', which replaced the 26 different slogans used by Philips in different markets. The objective of the campaign was also to project Philips as a company that used technology to improve people's lives. The campaign tried to convey that Philips technology, while improving people's lives, could also improve the world...

The waves symbolized radio waves, while the stars represented the ether of the evening sky through which the radio waves would travel. In 1930 it was the first time that the four stars flanking the three waves were placed together in a circle. After that, the stars and waves started appearing on radios and gramophones, featuring this circle as part of their design. Gradually the use of the circle emblem was then extended to advertising materials and other products. In 1938, the Philips shield made its first appearance. Although modified over the years, the basic design has remained constant ever since and, together with the wordmark, gives Philips the distinctive identity that is still embraced today.
