In 1997 Chris Warnock, approached the lead designer of Adobe, Robert Slimbach to help him create a

personalized font for his father to use. Chriss father John Warnock is the founder of Adobe Systems.

Although it was only for Johns personal use the three saw potential in the font and decided that it

needed to be released to the general public. In 2000, the font quickly became one of the most

professional used fonts and in todays marketing theAdobe Warnock Pro is the Fifteenth most used

January 1, 2012 State Farm Insurance iconic logo was changed after nearly sixty years of consistency.

First designed in 1953 the logo was updated to be more contemporary in its design. In todays Digital era

designing apps and other digital media can be complex and costly. This ad displays the old logo that was

not very crisp design and thus shows that it was produced before 2012. Like most major changes it can

be costly to replace every advertisement all at ones so the process of turning over the logo is slow.

Pantone 485 and white.

Women are a very new and powerful group to gear advertisements towards. 51% of all women in the

United States are moms and 91% of women in one survey say that advertisers dont understand them.

How ironic! This advertisement targets not only moms but it shows them that State Farm understands

women as a whole. Every one multi tasks and for mothers this advertisement hits home.

WE LIVE WHERE YOU LIVE this line speaks right in the same tone as the picture, convenience. The

picture conveys a woman multitasking: getting her child put together, talking on the phone and getting

ready for or leaving work. Also a man is in the background clearly in a hurry also multitasking. What does

this mean? Having something in your neighborhood area allows you to utilize it more often. Having a

State Farm office nearby is no different, convenience and allows people to feel more comfortable and

inclined to use them as there provider.
