Peter Tork in screenshots from footage included in Micky Dolenz Celebrates The Monkees (x).

“To the outside observer, I’m sure it looked as though I had succumbed to the extremities of a given culture. To me, I simply exhibited moderate good sense. Basically, I lived at a poverty level, scratching for odd jobs. I wore a beard, my hair was past my shoulders, and I was working in a restaurant, singing folk songs and waiting tables [see here and here]. I was playing piano and was in and out of various rock groups. I played lead guitar for a rock group called Osciolla [sic]. No records. I was in the bass section of the Fairfax Street Choir, a thirty-five member vocal group. I also fronted a group of my own and tried to make a demo, but it didn’t go anywhere. I had a job offer to come out here to Venice. I also worked as a high school teacher [see here and here]. The mass media has a tendency to distort. As long as capitalism remains the underpinning of society, what is good will always take a back seat to what will sell. General Motors isn’t concerned with making a quality automobile. Sears isn’t concerned with offering a quality television set. All that counts in a capitalistic society is selling. And to the mass media’s way of thinking, a picture of Peter Tork as a so-called ‘burned-out hippie’ with a beard and long hair implies a hopeless case who can’t lift his hand to his face to get his razor up and who has no interest except in stealing to support his drug habit. If that’s what sells, they’ll print that. The truth of the matter is, my primary concern was and is self-realization in a social setting.” - Peter Tork, Blitz!, May/June 1980

“‘It's what I call the Church of Three,’ [Tork] said. ‘You have a starting point that's essentially unitary, then comes the binary, the secondary phase, where everything is broken up and shattered and shot into millions of pieces. From there, you must have a dialectic. The third stage must appreciate and understand and value the first without undercutting and devaluing the second. It's no good just to talk about the positive. If the negative is there, you can't shut it out. For a while there wasn't any negative. Then it came into our lives in real ways, in ways we had to come to grips with. So, there we were, in the middle of stage two, shattered and broken, not believing in stage one anymore. Then comes stage three. This is where we recognize that there are times to slip into that primary mode and times when it won't do. If you insist on sticking to that mode, you're going to get your nose broken. And that's what happened. So there comes a time when, in full awareness of stage one, you behave through stage two, to get your stage three – a transcendent involvement of both stages.’ Specifically, stage two began at Kent State, when four students were shot by the National Guard during a protest demonstration. ‘When they shot them down at Kent State, that was the end of the flower-power era,’ said Tork. ‘That was it. You throw your flowers and rocks at us, man, and we'll just pull the guns on you. Essentially, the revolution, which was sort of tolerated as long as it wasn't a significant material threat, was not tolerated anymore. And everybody went “Ooops” and scurried for cover and licked their wounds. They became isolated – which was the point of it all. “Togetherness isn't going to get it” was the moral they tried to lay on us, because the less togetherness there is, the more room there is for exploitation. Kent State was an attempt. Let's try this and see what happens. And what happened was the shooting and vast inflation and a swing to the right – the moral majority. The whole thing was inherent in the situation. A certain amount of loosening up, a certain amount of extra leisure, and people are going to try to improve their lot instead of just barely hanging on. If you had a little extra you're going to try to make everything better. And if you see that your own happiness, or the lack of it, is tied in with the sadness of your neighbor, you're going to start feeling communal. And that's going to expand until the crunch comes. As long as people are educated to believe that isolated self-interest is the only way to go, when the crunch comes they'll withdraw from each other. And only now, in the faintest glimmerings, do I see any sense that people are realizing that togetherness and flower power alone won't get it. It's got to be togetherness, flower power, plus a willingness to do something pretty stern from time to time. If you're not willing to behave sternly, people who won't stop short of stern behavior are going to keep on going. It's taken a while for that message to sink in.’ It's obvious that Tork was a true believer and ironic that he, of all people, should have been a cog in the plastic Monkee machine. He took the sixties to heart, and if the failure of the sixties took the heart out of him for a while, he hasn't let that failure break him. ‘You've got to struggle over the material,’ he said. ‘The struggle involved in keeping those people who want what you've got from getting it deprives you of the time to really be yourself. Instead of struggling to keep things out of everybody's hands, if you give what you've got – as Jesus said – if you give away what you've got, life unfolds for you. And the Catholic church would have us believe that heaven doesn't happen until after the death of the body. But I report differently. I report that heaven is an experience available in this life. And it comes from giving your shit away. If you give away your heart, your life, your soul, your goods, and live as close to the bone as you can prudently do, and don't worry about next week, if you live as close to that level as possible, you will find yourself as happy as possible. If you put your faith in the future, you're going to be chasing something all your life. Put your faith in the present; it's all right.’” - When The Music Mattered (1984)

Ladies please share this with any women you know starting their own business or non-profit

Business grants for women can help you grow your business for free, as opposed to small-business loans or other types of debt-based funding that you must pay back. But competition for small-business grants is fierce, and it takes considerable time and effort to win them. 

If you’re up for the challenge, though, grants can be a great way to fund your new or existing business. Here are 18 places women entrepreneurs can look for small-business grants and other free financial resources.

Private small-business grants for women

Some private corporations and organizations offer business grants for women. Here are six to consider:

1. Amber Grant

Every month, WomensNet awards a $10,000 Amber Grant to a woman-owned business in a specific, rotating category. The categories for 2023 are as follows:

January: Skilled trades

February: Health & fitness

March: Food & beverage

April: Sustainability

May: Mental & emotional support

June: Business support service

July: Animal services

August: Hair care & skincare

September: Education & child care

October: Creative arts

November: Technology

December: Fashion & interior designers

On top of that, the organization awards a second $10,000 monthly grant to a woman-owned business and a quarterly $10,000 grant to one startup and one nonprofit.

At the end of each year, two of the 12 general grant winners and one of the industry-specific grant winners are awarded an additional $25,000. 

The application is relatively simple: Explain your business, describe what you’d do with the grant money and pay a $15 application fee. The foundation’s advisory board chooses the winners, looking for women with passion and a good story. Businesses operating in the U.S. and Canada are eligible.

Because there’s no time in business requirement, companies seeking startup business grants for women may want to prioritize the Amber Grant.

2. IFundWomen Universal Grant Application Database

IFundWomen is a grant marketplace that specializes in funding and coaching for women-owned businesses. You can submit one application and when IFundWomen adds a grant from an enterprise partner, it will match the partner’s grant criteria to applications within the database.

If your business is a match, you’ll receive a notification and invitation to apply. Previous grant partners have included companies like Visa, Neutrogena and American Express.

3. SoGal Black Founder Startup Grant

The SoGal Foundation — along with company sponsors like Bluemercury, Twilio and others — offer startup grants to businesses owned by Black women or Black nonbinary entrepreneurs. Grants are available in amounts of either $5,000 or $10,000.

Awardees also receive fundraising advice, with a focus on investor financing, and lifetime access to the SoGal Foundation team. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so you can apply on the SoGal website at any time.

4. Fearless Strivers Grant Contest

The Fearless Fund, in collaboration with Mastercard, offers $20,000 grants to businesses owned by Black women through the Fearless Strivers Grant Contest. The winners also receive digital tools to help them get and sustain their businesses online and one-on-one mentorship with a Mastercard small-business mentor.

The Fearless Fund runs a national grant program, as well as city-specific grant contests in Atlanta; Birmingham, Alabama; Dayton, Ohio; Los Angeles; New Orleans; New York City; and St. Louis. To qualify for this small-business grant, you must have a U.S.-based business, 50 or fewer employees and have made $3 million or less in annual revenue in the past year.

5. Cartier Women's Initiative Awards

Every year, Cartier awards three grants to women-owned businesses in nine different regions around the world. The Cartier Women’s Initiative Awards program is designed to support early-stage businesses that are focused on a range of social, economic and environmental development issues.

The first-place business is awarded a $100,000 grant, second place receives $60,000 and third place gets $30,000. Winners also receive executive coaching and the opportunity to participate in a variety of training workshops.

6. Comcast RISE

Comcast awards $10,000 grants to businesses owned by women and people of color several times per year. Each Comcast RISE Investment Fund application cycle is open to entrepreneurs in specific target cities. You can also apply for “marketing services and tech makeovers,” which don’t include cash prizes but can still help your business grow.

7. High Five Grant for Moms

The Mama Ladder organization — along with co-hosts Proof, Belly Bandit and Caden Concepts — offer an annual small-business grant specifically for moms. This grant, called the High Five Grant, is designed to support women caregivers with child(ren) of all ages, including first-time expecting moms, stepmoms and foster moms.

Entrepreneurs can submit an application online and share the story behind their business on social media. Finalists will be chosen by a panel of judges and then a public vote will determine the top three winners. The top business will receive a $25,000 grant, the runner up will receive a $10,000 grant and the third place finalist will receive $5,000.

Additional private business grant options

Although these options aren’t specifically for women, they’re good small-business grants to consider for any entrepreneur.

8. FedEx Small Business Grant

FedEx awards up to $30,000 apiece to 10 small businesses annually. One veteran-owned business from among those 10 winners can receive an additional $20,000 from USAA Small Business Insurance. Winners also receive money to use toward FedEx Office print and business services.

The application requires an explanation of your business, how you’d use the money, photos of your business and — this part is optional — a short video explaining your business. To be eligible, you must operate a for-profit business with fewer than 99 employees and at least six months of operating history.

9. National Association for the Self-Employed Growth Grant

Every quarter, the NASE awards up to $4,000 to up to four small businesses via its growth grants. These funds can be used for a variety of business needs, including marketing, advertising and hiring employees.

To apply for this grant, you must be a NASE member in good standing for at least three months. Annual members can apply at any time.

10. Halstead Grant

The Halstead Grant is an annual award for entrepreneurs looking to break into the silver jewelry industry. The winner receives a $7,500 startup grant, as well as $1,000 in jewelry merchandise. Five finalists and semi-finalists also receive $250 or $500 and help with promoting their businesses.

Both men and women-owned businesses are eligible for this small-business grant. To apply, you must answer 15 business-related questions and submit a design portfolio. Applications are due August 1 each year.

11. Fast Break for Small Businesses

These $10,000 grants — funded by LegalZoom, the NBA, WNBA and NBA G League and managed by the Accion Opportunity Fund — are available twice a year. Winners also receive LegalZoom services worth up to $500. You can sign up on LegalZoom’s website to be notified when applications open.

Federal small-business grants for women

Some federal government grants for small-business owners are designated for specific purposes, such as research and development projects, or for businesses in rural areas. Government grants typically can’t be used for startup costs or day-to-day expenses.

12. Grants.gov

Grants.gov is a database of federally sponsored grants, including grants for small businesses. Although these grants are not exclusive to women-owned businesses, this database is a great place to start if you’re looking for free financing.

To apply, you must obtain a Unique Entity ID for your business (a 12-character alphanumeric identification number), register to do business with the U.S. government through its System for Award Management website and create an account at Grants.gov.

To view grants specifically for small businesses, filter the results on the left side of the page under “eligibility.”

13. Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs

The SBA facilitates these two competitive programs, which provide grants to small businesses that contribute to federal research and development. Eleven federal agencies — including the departments of Agriculture, Defense, and Health and Human Services — post business grant opportunities on their websites. You can search current grant opportunities on the SBIR website.

To qualify, you must operate a for-profit business with no more than 500 employees and meet other eligibility requirements.

14. Program for Investors in Microentrepreneurs (PRIME)

Although the SBA coordinates some grant programs, the agency doesn’t typically offer grant funding directly to small businesses. With the PRIME program, however, the SBA provides federal grants to microenterprise development organizations so that they can offer training, technical assistance and coaching to disadvantaged small-business owners.

These grants are available to nonprofit, private, state, local or tribal-run organizations, including those that focus on working with women-owned small businesses. The Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation, for example, was awarded a $200,000 grant in 2022.

State and local small-business grants for women

Because federal small-business grants are limited in number and often very competitive, you may have better luck seeking out grants for women at the state and municipal levels. You’ll have to do your own research to pinpoint specific grant programs in your area, but here are some places to help you get started:

15. Women’s Business Centers

The SBA sponsors more than 100 Women’s Business Centers nationwide, designed to help women entrepreneurs with business development and access to capital. Some, such as the California Capital Financial Development Corp., lend money directly while others help you find small-business grants and loans that you may qualify for.

16. Economic Development Administration

Every state and many cities have economic development resources focused on promoting strong local economies. For example, New York has several economic development districts, such as the Lake Champlain - Lake George Regional Planning Board, which helps local businesses access state and federal funding.

17. Small Business Development Centers

There are hundreds of SBA-sponsored Small Business Development Centers around the country, typically housed at colleges and universities. SBDCs offer free, one-on-one business consulting, such as help with developing a business plan, researching markets and finding financing — including grants, business loans and crowdfunding.

Some SBDCs offer training on certification programs like the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program and Minority and Women Business Enterprise Certifications. These programs can help businesses level the playing field when competing in the public and private sector.

18. Minority Business Development Agency Centers

The MBDA operates a network of business centers across the country that are designed to help minority business owners access capital, secure contracts and develop financial strategies. Your local MBDA business center can work with you to identify the right financing options for your business, including federal, state and private small-business grants.

The MBDA also runs the Enterprising Women of Color Initiative, or EWOC, to support minority women in their business endeavors. The EWOC provides access to resources, events and other opportunities for women minority-owned businesses.

Alternatives to small-business grants

Finding and applying for business grants can be difficult, as well as time-consuming. If you don’t qualify for certain grants — or simply want to explore other ways to fund your women-owned business — here are some avenues to explore:

Best small-business loans for women: Compare SBA loans, online term loans, lines of credit, microloans and learn about other available resources for your business.

Crowdfunding for business: Tap into the power of the internet to raise money for your business and promote your company’s product or service.

Small-business credit cards: Compare dozens of cards and find the best choice for financing your everyday business purchases — and earn rewards in the process.

SBA microloans: Work with a nonprofit financial institution to apply for these government-backed loans, which can be a good choice for new or very small businesses.

From private “clubstaurants” to NFT reservation tokens to concierge services, getting a table is a lot easier if you’ve got the money.

Credit...Jonathan Carlson

Published Oct. 15, 2022Updated Oct. 18, 2022

As long as there have been high-status, celebrity-studded restaurants, there have been people clamoring to get into them, working contacts, making phone calls, greasing palms. Lately, though, it can seem like every restaurant in New York is that kind of restaurant.

In the pandemic era — with hours cut back in many cases, and a public eager to eat out once again — the competition for tables has reached a frenzied pitch on electronic reservation platforms.

“Without over-embellishing, within five seconds basically all reservations are taken,” said Steve Saed, who started #FreeRezy, a free electronic forum where people could swap reservations among themselves. “It’s like winning the lottery to eat at these places,” he added.

But a new generation of tactics have emerged to help would-be diners jump the line, including latter-day concierge services, NFTs granting holders special privileges, members-only credit card perks and private “clubstaurants.” What they all have in common is that they will cost you.

“However many years ago, it was slip the host or hostess $20 and bypass the line,” said Alex Lee, the chief executive of Resy and vice president of American Express Dining. He runs the companies’ Global Dining Network, a program that offers a select group of Amex members (Amex owns Resy) access to certain restaurant perks through the reservation platform.

The program, he suggested, is just the natural evolution of that furtive $20. For an annual credit card fee in the hundreds or sometimes thousands, Global Dining Access members can obtain priority reservations at hot restaurants across the United States. “The first thing customers want is access, right?” Mr. Lee said.

But at certain members-only restaurants, a reservation alone is not enough.

Haiku, a private Japanese restaurant in Miami, makes a slightly different calculation. The restaurant accepts members by invitation only, for an annual fee, and asks them to commit to at least four reservations annually for a 10-to-12-course kaiseki-inspired omakase menu. The restaurant declined to discuss either the application process or the price.

Jeff Zalaznick, a partner at Major Food Group, was only slightly more forthcoming about plans for the New York debut of ZZ’s Club, which will feature a members-only Carbone. Like the first ZZ’s in Miami, which offers members access to a Japanese restaurant, a sushi bar, a bar and lounge and a cigar terrace, ZZ’s Club New York will bring the Major Food Group experience to the financial and social elite. (Like Haiku, Major Food Group would not disclose the fee or the application process.)

But given that the original Carbone — which recently lost its Michelin star — is already impossible to get into, is it really necessary to have an even more exclusive version just two miles away?

“One of the great things about being a private member’s club, is the fact that you really can tailor everything on the food and beverage side to your customers at an even higher level than you can, obviously, when you’re just a public restaurant,” Mr. Zalaznick said.

This means knowing what members want, and how exactly they want it: How do they take their steak? Do they prefer still or sparkling water? What is their standing order, and with which modifications?

Diners can have all those things at the London import Casa Cruz, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, but for a stratospheric price tag. The top-floor dining room there is reserved for the 99 members of the restaurant’s “investor group of partners” who have paid between $250,000 and $500,000 to join.

“I think there’s a demand for curation,” said Noah Tepperberg, the co-CEO of Tao Group Hospitality, which next year is opening a private club in the River North neighborhood of Chicago, in collaboration with the restaurant group Lettuce Entertain You.

In the grand tradition of private clubs — from New York City’s Union Club to San Francisco’s Bohemian Club to the recently rebranded ’Quin House in Boston — these exclusive clubstaurants require not only cash but status.

“Restaurants began as places to show off status,” said Andrew P. Haley, an associate professor of history at the University of Southern Mississippi. Generally, this took place in public, where discerning diners could be seen demonstrating their discernment.

The members-only clubstaurant, on the other hand, confers another kind of status, suggested Megan J. Elias, the director of the gastronomy program at Boston University: “You can be a connoisseur among a very small number of connoisseurs.”

Mr. Saed said he’s not surprised that access is being monetized.

“Part of it tracks to the types of people that are renting in New York now,” he said. “With rents pushing over $4,000 to $5,000, I think that the proportion of people that are living here that have the discretionary income to spend are kind of more here.”

Still other restaurants — the public kind — are leaning into patronage-style programs, aiming to give certain customers premier access, while remaining open to the rest of us.

Under normal circumstances, it can take weeks or months to get into Dame, the West Village fish-and-chips sensation. But there is a workaround: Front of House, a platform designed to help restaurants sell “digital collectibles,” also known as NFTs, that grant holders special access.

Instead of lining up at 4:30 p.m. on a Monday, the one day Dame takes walk-in diners, a devoted diner could pay $1,000, which buys them the ability, with at least 24 hours notice, to book a table once a week through the end of 2022. (20 such tokens have been created; 11 have been sold so far.)

Stephanie Dumanian, a cosmetic dentist in Manhattan and a fan of the restaurant, was trying without success to make a reservation for her husband’s birthday when she found Front of House. She bought a token in July, and has been three times since. “It’s been great,” she said. “I feel like I’m supporting a local business.”

Colin Camac, a co-founder of Front of House, said the platform is simply expediting intimacy.

“I think one of the best things in the world is going into a place just like Cheers, where everybody knows your name, where they know what you like, where your martini is sitting there as soon as you walk in,” said Mr. Camac, who is also a regional director at Resy. “It’s an easier way to be part of that community if you don’t have the time to really invest in it.” In other words, anyone can be a regular, for a price.

“It’s kind of a trade secret in the concierge space that you have to build relationships, and spend a lot of time doing it, in order to deliver these very hard to get reservations,” said Peter Adams, the founder of Table Concierge.

His start-up is for people with money but not time, and a would-be diner doesn’t actually have to be a regular to get treated like one. “You could do this on your own,” he said, but he streamlines the process “so you don’t have to wake up at 8 a.m. or book at midnight.”

For a price — usually $50 per reservation per person, but it depends on the difficulty — Mr. Adams works his connections to open doors that appear closed to the rest of us. (White glove service means he will go as far as going to a restaurant in person to negotiate on a client’s behalf.)

With a week or so warning, he puts his success rate at 90 percent. You want Lilia? He’ll get you Lilia, nevermind what Resy says. “We can get you in anywhere other than Rao’s,” he said of the exclusive Italian restaurant in East Harlem.

Though he added: “But if you want to give me $10,000, I can find a way to get you into Rao’s.”

What Is A Private Label?

Private label definition —A product that is sold by a third party manufacturer or a contractor, under the brand name of a retailer.

These products are commonly known as OEM (Other Equipment Manufacturer) products. These private label brands can help in boosting the margin of the retail store, and if it’s done the right way, it helps the store earn credibility from the customer’s trust.

Private Branding Examples For those of you who are still asking yourselves ‘what is a private label’, you would understand it more clearly with the help of a private branding example. Target sells a lot of branded snacks that are manufactured by companies like Frito-Lay. They also sell their own brand of chips under the name of Archer Farms— Target’s own private label brand.

Great Value is an in-house brand of Walmart, that was launched in 1993. This is an international and fully developed brand, though the products are not produced by Walmart themselves.

Another private branding example is Cott Corporation, which manufactures beverages for a large number of supermarket chains. There are many hair salons that create their own branded line of shampoos and other hair care products. Restaurants create their own spices and condiments brands, that have become popular with customers.

Growth In Store Brands And Private Label Brands People choose private label brands over large brands because they are a lot cheaper. When it comes to the food and beverage sector, private brands are a massive segment. There was a research that was conducted in 2014 that showed 93% of the American woman who were surveyed, opted to buy private label brands in order to save money. Archer Farms(Target) and 365(Whole Foods) are some of the most well-known private label brands in this sector.

Even when you’re shopping for food, you could see for yourself that there are a lot of in-store brands that are increasing in number across all the channels. There are many customers who feel that there are no differences at all between the quality of large brands and private label companies. However the growth of both brands depend upon the customer experience.

Pricing-In Store Brands And Private Label Brands When it comes to private label pricing, it can be hard to find the right benchmark. The quality, product name, etc. can differ to a large extent when it comes to private label brands and national brands. Retailers have full pricing powers for private label brands, and so they are responsible for selecting the right kind of price for their products. Before pricing the products they should be aware of the overall cost, and they should have a clear idea of how the particular product price range is placed.

This is where the use of price optimization software is beneficial. The complex algorithm that price optimization software use, help retailers to know how shoppers behave according to the different product pricing strategies, in order to maximize their sales and profits.

Century-Old Logos that Remain Iconic to this Day

In the modern world of design and branding, there are only a handful of brandings that endure the test of time. These classic designs have definitely surpassed generations, establishing their relevance and branding identity in an ever-changing world. If you’re looking for an inspo to opt for on your logo-making journey, here are some of the oldest logos that continue their legacy up to this day. Take note that these familiar logo designs have been relevant far longer than you realize, so if you’re up for a challenge to make a unique logo for your branding in the making, prepare to get schooled!

The iconic batwing logo was first introduced 138 years ago! Since 1886, Levi has been a hallmark of the American denim industry. The logo boasts a dynamic design that features the iconic “batwing” shape carrying the company name alongside two horses. A great representation of Levi Strauss’ dedication to high quality in detail.

While it is evident that the old branding logo went through several iterations through the years, Levi’s distinct batwing shape somehow made a comeback and remains iconic to this day!

Talking about the timeless significance of these brandings and their logos reveals a compelling appreciation of their legacy. If one looks through its visual appeal, these logos did more than dominate their respective industry, they also serve as cultural touchstones. Levi Strauss & Co.’s batwing logo is a testament to that. The branding’s logo becoming synonymous with the long-standing denim culture in America. The presence of their logo on millions of jeans is proof that Levi’s jeans had a significant role in shaping trends in the fashion industry for well over more than a century.

Twinings, a crowd-favorite and popular tea branding holds the record of being the oldest logo in use of all time! With the branding’s debut way back in 1787, the branding continued to become as relevant as it was before for nearly 240 years. The elegant crest shows the Twinings family name, a sight recognized on millions of shelves across the globe. It goes to show how simplicity and elegance are always a safe bet!

The royal-looking embellishment on the logo made Twinings an emblem of superb tea craftsmanship. Going for a century-and-a-half-long journey of comforting tea lovers worldwide.

You gotta give it to Twinings for their consistency and unwavering decision to stick to their roots and revise their 236-year-old branding as subtly as possible. I mean, there’s not much to tinker with if it’s already perfect, right? Twinnings family branding really made it into the legendary classics by embodying the definition of the word itself!

The renowned lion symbol was first introduced in 1858. This iconic logo is the epitome of strength, automotive prowess, and durability which is what the branding is all about. Although Peugeot’s lion went through several iterations over the years, it still retains its original silhouette from its oldest logo, which makes it one of the most iconic old logos of all time.

Peugeot’s lion symbol exudes strength, durability, and automotive prowess, reflecting the branding’s engineering excellence and reputation for reliability. Additionally, nothing says “top-notch” more than a stamp of Peugeot’s iconic lion symbol! One can argue that the branding’s old logo has not been particularly used since its last revamp with the upright lion. But if you look closely, the logo still has the touch of its roots with how the lion’s head silhouette can still be recognized even in its most latest rendition. That’s on keeping up with modernity while preserving the legacy.

1868 was the year Nestle’s iconic logo was introduced. The simple yet impactful design features a nest with a mother bird caring for its young which mimics the feeling of trust and reliability the branding has established for itself in the food and beverage industry. The timelessness of the logo reflects the branding’s commitment to quality and nourishment.

Nestle perfectly captured the exact imagery of nourishment and care with how the mother bird seems to deeply be in touch with her young.

But we all have the same question surrounding the logo evolution of the branding; what happened to the third little bird?

General Electric was established in 1892 and its simple yet impactful logo is a testament to the company’s legacy of innovation. The interlaced letter “GE” symbolizes the connectedness of the branding despite the diversity of its electronic products. The same symbol still being relevant to this shows how forward-thinking the branding is. Not just in technology and engineering, but to their branding identity as well.

Just like most old logos that remain iconic, General Electric went through several visual updates. As you can see, the said updates were quite intricate!

Kidding aside, it was probably the best for general electric to not make major changes with its branding logo. Conquering an industry with a two-letter branding name sounds quite impressive! But packing the branding identity through the tiny logo using as few elements as possible? That’s probably something only General Electric can pull off!

To Sum it All Up

These old logos are the very reflection of excellence and innovation. It can easily be said that these design choices were purposefully done to echo the branding’s identity. The way these brandings are extremely recognized and successful to date is a profound reminder of the power of how well-crafted logos transcend time and leave lasting impressions, not just for the generation it was crafted in, but onto the next ones too.

In conclusion, these century-old logos serve as enduring emblems of excellence, innovation, and heritage. They remind us of the power of design to transcend time and leave a lasting impression on the collective consciousness. As we continue to innovate and create. When building a logo of your own, you cannot go wrong with drawing inspiration from these venerable marks. Call it a form of honoring their legacy while forging new paths in the ever-evolving landscape of branding and design.

Future Market Insights, in its new offering, brings credible insights into the growth prospects of the food coating ingredients market. Several food coating ingredients continue to find application in a wide variety of substrates ranging from seafood to plant proteins, thereby exerting crossover appeal in conventional and vegan markets as well as in products developed for consumption out or at home.

In recent years, the trend of health and wellness has been placing a great deal of pressure on manufacturers to come up with healthier alternatives for food coating ingredients already in use.

As consumers are starting to avoid certain types of fats, including saturated fats and partially hydrogenated oil, manufacturers of coated food products tend to be agile and responsive to consumers’ changing needs. As such, they innovate rapidly, offering tasty, novel, sustainable, and better-for-you options for consumers.

Food Coating Ingredients Market Players – Key Insights

Some of the key players operating in the food coating ingredients industry include Tate & Lyle Plc, Döhler Group, Cargill, PGP International Inc., Agrana Group, and Archer Daniels Midland Company.

In November 2019, Tate & Lyle, a provider of food & beverage ingredients and solutions, announced the opening of its new and expanded Latin American headquarters in Sau Paulo, Brazil. The new application center includes a pilot plant and state-of-the-art experimental kitchen which will help manufactures develop products that fulfil growing consumer preferences for healthier, tastier food and beverages.

In November 2019, Cargill-Royal DSM joint venture, Avansya, started commercial-scale production of EverSweet™, a non-artificial, zero-calorie stevia sweetener at new fermentation facility in Nebraska, U.S.

Through the new project, the company is aimed at twofold production capacity of wheat starch.

Key Factors Influencing Food Coating Ingredients Market

Combining Functionality and Flavor with Texture Appeal

Growing popularity of fried foods among consumers demanding convenience yet healthy options remains a key factor fueling innovation in the food coating ingredient space. Despite recent emphasis on low carbs, rising cases of obesity, and corresponding concerns over frying, a wide range of coated food products continue to penetrate the marketplace. The result is expected to lead to increased demand for food coating ingredients. In addition to ingredients designed for increased functionality and improving the quality of coated food products, manufacturers are targeted towards delivering a variety of new flavors, texture, appearance, and mouthfeel

Significant Growth in Demand for Ready-to-Eat Food

With convenience meals catering for every occasion, breakfast drinks to lunchtime, all the way through to dinner time meals, technology-enabled delivery for prepared and ready-to-eat meals has increased exponentially over the last few years. Today, hectic schedules are changing how, where, and when time-poor consumers eat, thereby potentially raising the demand for ready-to-eat food as well as frozen ready meals. This, in turn, is projected to remain instrumental to sales of food coating ingredients.

Strong Focus towards Aligning with Clean Label Trend

In period of alternatives rather than omissions, consumers are gradually moving away from fad diets and eliminating several food groups and inclining towards a more balanced approach of eating. As food security issues continue to rise and consumers’ inquisitiveness about foods and their sources increases, manufacturers are focusing on providing novel ingredients to eliminate allergens and to be more clean-label friendly. For instance, gluten-free coating ingredients are garnering significant traction, on the account of rise of gluten intolerance and association of gluten-free products with diets such as Paleo.

Peter Tork onstage in Houston, Texas, on October 27, 1979. Photos via rockinhouston dot com.

“[While working at the Great American Food and Beverage Company in 1979, Peter and Danny Carey] played one of Michael Nesmith’s songs [together], called ‘The Girl That I Knew Somewhere.’ [Peter] played piano, I knew the guitar parts, and he and I sang it together, and we were really rocked it down, we knocked it out of the park. It was a lot of fun. I worked with him just before I joined [a band]. And he was very happy for me that I got a record deal. (laughs) Something that stands out in my mind is that I remember that DJ [Barker] was promoting some kind of get rich quick scheme, and it irritated Peter to no end and he got really vocal about it… all I remember Peter telling him is that it was a pyramid scheme, ‘It’s nothing but a f***ing pyramid scheme, you should be ashamed of yourself for promoting that.’ He was taking DJ to task on that. I just had fun with him. He could play the shit out of the banjo, and he was a really good piano [player], and he was a smart guitar player, too.” - Danny Carey, Tales of the Road Warriors, 2019

“I remember [Peter] whipping out that banjo in the piano room [at the Great American Food and Beverage Company] and duck walking like Chuck Berry, and, like, he really had it down, he was exceptional. […] He was a consummate musician.” - Hal Aaron Cohen, ibid

“My mom [k]new and worked with Peter [T]ork at the [G]reat American [F]ood and [B]everage Co. on Wilshire [B]lvd in Santa Monica during the early 80s. Nice guy.” - Kent V., Vintage Los Angeles FB comment, 2013

“Before performing in Vicksburg, Tork and the band played in spots in Denver and Houston, where he rated the response as ‘pretty good.’ ‘It’s still a trial run at this point,’ he said of the road tour. ‘I think the guys sound tight, but there’s still lots wrong with it. We really came out underprepared.’ [...] In the midst of the applause, however, a few voices could be heard mocking the lyrics of the songs. The jeers didn’t go unnoticed by the performer. ‘Tonight, there was one guy here who obviously wasn’t enjoying himself — and he was letting everyone know it at the top of his lungs,’ Tork reflected backstage. ‘I tried to ignore him and listen to the applause, but somehow, my attention kept drifting back to him.’ […] [Should music fail] he’s even considered going back to school to pursue a career in law. At the moment, however, his thoughts are directed toward developing his style as a musician on stage. He says that performing for smaller crowds than he did a decade ago is the least of his worries — although he finds it hard to put the rude behavior of the heckler out of his mind. ‘But,’ he added with a sigh, ‘I guess that’s just part of the trip.’“ - The Clarion Ledger, November 1, 1979

More about Peter's time working at the Great American Food and Beverage Company in this post.
