Abstract

Advertising plays a vital role in brand communication by employing various semiotic elements to convey messages effectively. However, the use of Charles S. Peirce's semiotic framework in analyzing rebranding strategies remains underexplored. This study examines the application of semiotic elements index, icon, and symbol in Burger King’s official rebrand introduction video to highlight its message of modernization and innovation. Using qualitative methods, the research identifies 10 distinct signs within the video: 3 icons, 1 index, and 6 symbols. The visual transformation of the brand identity, serving as an index, signifies Burger King's commitment to innovation and customer focus. Icons, such as mouthwatering depictions of burgers and fries, represent the brand’s core products, while symbols, including the new logo and textual elements, convey cultural meanings tied to the brand’s identity. Findings reveal that these signs effectively combine to project Burger King as a modern, innovative, and customer-oriented brand, addressing competitive market demands. This semiotic analysis underscores the importance of blending visual and symbolic elements in branding to shape consumer perceptions and reinforce brand identity. Future research should explore similar strategies in other industries to expand understanding of semiotic applications in advertising.

This study investigates the verbal and non-verbal elements within the logos of the "Big Six" Premier League clubs, aiming to uncover their denotative, connotative, and mythological meanings, and how these aspects represent identity. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on Roland Barthes' semiotic framework, the research draws data from official club websites and documented literature.

Key components such as colors, symbols, and text, which are distinctive to each logo, play a significant role. This study contributes to the fields of cultural studies, semiotics, sports branding, and identity representation in visual communication and design. By exploring the semiotic depth of football logos, it bridges cultural semiotics and sports branding, uncovering often-overlooked narratives and enhancing both academic and fan perspectives on logo symbolism.
