Many athletes are sponsored by nike and wear their products. This makes anyone who is a fan of the athlete want to wear the same apparel. Nike tries to attract many age groups because of the different styles available. The golden arches of McDonalds is the next symbol that I am very familiar with. This symbol is even more recognized than the nike swoosh. There is a Mcdonalds in hundreds of countries world-wide. Kids grow up eating this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner multiple times a week. McDonalds’ audience is any age group. They attract people with delicious pictures of their food. A can of coca cola is more recognizable than probably any other soft drink in the world. The red and white swirls are known world-wide. Also coke has been around for about a hundredyears, so generations have enjoyed this drink. This also attracts any age group. After looking at all these symbols they make me think of my child hood and even presentday college life. I also noticed that all of these symbols are very American. When you think of America you might think of some of these
