4. 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.
