Reference

Reference information:
Qu'est-ce qu'une marque verbale, figurative, semi-figurative ?
Imprimer

Une marque verbale est une marque composée d'un ou plusieurs termes qui peuvent s'écrire ou se prononcer, c'est à dire par exemple un nom de naissance ou patronymique (par exemple : Guy Degrenne), une dénomination arbitraire créée de toutes pièces (par exemple : Yoplait) , un mot détourné de son sens, un slogan (par exemple : Parce que vous le valez bien) ...



Une marque semi-figurative est une marque associant un terme verbal et un visuel. Elle peut également être qualifiée de marque complexe.



Une marque figurative est une marque composée uniquement d’un visuel, c’est à dire un signe qui ne s'adresse qu’à l’œil (par exemple : le crocodile Lacoste).
