It’s easy to grow tired of the constant barrage of ads we see in our day-to-day lives, but it’s impossible to deny the fact that branding has a lasting effect.
Certain brands, in fact, can elicit a strong sense of nostalgia. While many of these brands are still in existence today, they had a certain magic in past decades that’s hard to conceive of today.
RCA
While the RCA name is still circulating today, modern-day RCA is truly a shell of its former self. During its heyday in the midcentury years, RCA not only manufactured television sets, but helped to popularize the TV format.
In addition to TV sets and radios, RCA also ran its own record label, which signed artists like Elvis Presley. For a time, RCA was an all-in-one entertainment powerhouse.
