Union Oil first Introduced "76" Gasoline in 1932. The name referred to the 1776 United States Declaration of Independence, and was also the Octane Rating of the gasoline in 1932.
Union 76 Invented the Antenna Topper Concept.
Beginning in 1967, Union 76 Company started giving away Styrofoam Antenna Balls—miniature versions of the advertising icon. The promotion was a great success. They were a Symbol of West Coast car culture, and are still in demand today.
In 2005, new corporate owners ConocoPhillips began a rebranding campaign to unify the design elements of each of the merged brands (76, Phillips, and Conoco). As a part of this re-branding, there was an initial decision to pull down all the Orange Ball signs and Replace them with monument-style signs in the Red Orange and Blue color. Worst of all, they started Removing and Destroying the familiar 76 Orange ball signs.

MINI’s Olympic Marketing Masterstroke
Wed, 08 Aug 2012BMW has spent £40 million sponsoring the 2012 London Olympics, but it’s a small fleet of remote controlled MINI’s that provide the value. BMW has done all it can to promote its sponsorship of the 2012 London Olympics, and with a spend said to be in the region of £40 million, who can blame them? But it’s not just local shopkeepers and enthusiastic small businesses that are hamstrung by Olympic rules on advertising, the Olympic sponsors are too.
Jaguar F-Type leaks again – more photos
Tue, 25 Sep 2012The 2013 Jaguar F-Type is due to be revealed in two days at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, but ahead of that we have a full set of photos. Last week we had the first leak of a Jaguar F-Type photo (quickly followed by an official version of the same photo from Jaguar), and this morning we have a full set of photos of the new F-Type, courtesy of Teamspeed. What we get this time is the F-Type on the road, and a shot of the F-Type’s interior too – which looks very ‘modern’ Jaguar.
