This study analyzed features of elements that compose a logo of inner wear brands to get the following results: First, it was found that "elegance" was the most frequently used word to express the concept of inner wear brands to be followed by words like dignity, high-end and aristocratic, words emphasizing femininity, such as feminine, romantic and sexy, words emphasizing practicality, such as convenient, practical, modern, functional and reasonable, and words emphasizing hygiene, such as clean, healthy and hygienic. This suggests that consumers nowadays pursue image more than functional aspects in the shopping of inner wear and consumers' pursuit of such values is reflected in the concept of inner wear brands. Second, unlike logos for outerwear brands that generally used initials of brand name, word-type logos for inner wear brands used the full name of brands, thus suggesting that they put more emphasis on delivery of information rather than on the symbolic aspect. In case of combining characters with concrete objects, they were found generally to use objects that give an soft, elegant and feminine image, such as flowers, woman's head and ribbons. Third, colors in the series of pink and red seemed to be used to convey the concept of inner wear brands that pursue such images as romanticism, femininity, elegance and sensibility, while colors in the series of blue, black and grey for such concepts as functionality, practicality, simplicity, health, hygiene and refinement. With reference to typeface used in the design of logos, unlike outerwear brands of which 83% use sans serif typeface for logos, relatively high percentage of inner wear was found to use typefaces of serif series to stress feminine flexibility and delicacy and give the image of elegance and classical tenderness. With reference to language used in logo naming for inner wear brands, 33 brands were found to use English and only three brands used Korean among the 36 brands surveyed. Even with inner wear brand logos that have Korean name, it was found that they used English in the use of logo marks. Like the result of previous studies, the result of this study indicates that methods to design brand logos for clothing should be incessantly sought in a way to build brand power as an important component to represent concept or function of brands and reinforce brand image.

이모티콘은 가상공간에서 자신의 정서와 감정 등을 나타내는 상징적 장치로 모바일 시장의 성장과 사용량의 증가에 따라 그 형태 또한 다양하게 변화 되어왔다. 이에 따라 국내에서는 이모티콘과 관련된 연구들이 이루어지고 있으나 기호의 조합으로 이루어진 이모티콘 형태와 이모티콘의 기능적 측면에 중점을 두었다는 한계점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구는 사용자 측면에 집중하여 (1) 현재 가장 보편화된 이미지 형태의 이모티콘 이용 동기에 대해 알아본 뒤 (2) 이용 동기에 따른 이미지형 이모티콘 이용 태도와 행태를 탐색적으로 알아보고자 하였다. 더불어 기존 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 (3) 성별과 친밀도에 따른 이미지형 이모티콘 이용 태도와 행태 차이에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 이모티콘 사용자들의 이용 동기는 크게 감정 표현, 친밀감 표현, 이미지 관리, 문장 보완으로 추출되었다. 이 중 감정 표현과 친밀감 표현 동기가 이모티콘 이용 태도와 빈도에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 사용자와 대상간의 친밀도가 높은 경우 긍정적인 이모티콘 이용 태도를 갖고, 빈번하게 이모티콘을 사용한다는 사실을 발견할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 모바일 시장에서 커뮤니케이션 도구로 성장하고 있는 이모티콘의 사용자 동기를 알아보고, 동기와 대상간의 친밀도가 이용 태도와 행태에 미치는 영향을 알아봄으로써 실무적 함의를 제시하고자한다.

소비자들은 같은 기능을 가진 제품일지라도 브랜드 이미지에 따라 다르게 인식한다. 본 연구는 스마트폰의 브랜드 이미지가 고객만족과 충성도에 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 스마트폰의 대표 브랜드인 갤럭시와 아이폰의 사용자 집단에 따른 차이가 있는지 비교하고자 한다. 이를 위해 브랜드 이미지는 기능적, 상징적, 경험적 이미지로 구분하고, 고객충성도는 태도적, 행동적 충성도로 구분하여 이들 요인들의 영향력을 실증적으로 확인하였다. 연구결과 기능적, 경험적 이미지는 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, 상징적 이미지는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 만족도는 태도적, 행동적 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치고, 태도적 충성도는 행동적 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 갤럭시와 아이폰 사용자 집단의 다중집단분석 결과 고객만족과 태도적 충성도 간의 경로에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다.
