Brand Perception• Nescafe logotype was always the same since its origin. The logotype

borrowed the same Nestlé format, and the word Nescafe is a combination of the first three letters of Nestlé and café which is coffee in Portuguese.

• The symbol added to convey the brand meaning was the red mug. Most commercials scenes show someone holding the red mug with the Nescafe logotype written in the vertical position.

• Probably the red color of the mug was chosen to emphasize the energy of the drink, since coffee is a stimulating drink and red is perfect to describe this state of mind. Therefore, the semiotics triangle would display on the sign side, the red mug, on the object side, the granulated instant coffee, or the product itself, and on the interpretant side, the wellness state of a good cup of coffee.
