A Color Clustering Of Bank Logos in Jordan, China and Germany Annegret M. Gross China University of Petroleum (CPU), Qingdao, China *Corresponding Author Annegret M. Gross Abstract: Colors convey culture-specific messages just like pictures, images, symbols and icons. While an individual color may have a highly positive connotation in one country, it can evoke extremely negative associations in another country. Color has a huge impact on people’s memory and consumer decisions (Asset Communications, 2011) as well as the ability to trigger positive or negative feelings about a product or a service (Grossman and Wisenblit, 1999; Singh, 2006). Therefore, color choice is especially important when a company sells valuable and expensive goods or services that require a high level of commitment and trust from the consumer. Research indicates that banks are in general more likely to use blue and gray in their logos and literature because these two colors tend to have a universal positive meaning. Blue is generally associated with wealth, trust, security and high quality, and gray with strength, exclusivity and success (De Bortoli & Maroto, 2001). This paper intends to analyze the colors used for bank logos and shed light on the question to what extent the universal color theory is applicable the logos of banks in three different countries around the world: Jordan, China and Germany. Keywords: color theory, universal, culture-specific, bank logos. 1.

While a color may by connoted highly powerful instrument for companies to position positively in one country, it can evoke extremely themselves in the market and stand out against negative associations in another.

Consultation paper www.ubs.com/investmentresearch Today, the Basel Committee for Bank Supervision published a consultation paper on financial regulatory reforms that set out to enhance capital and liquidity standards. The consultation paper is subject to an impact assessment and at this stage lacks definitive quantifications. Philip Finch Analyst ! Key proposals [email protected] Proposed changes to financial regulations include: 1) a capital ratio based on +44-20-7568 3456 common equity and retained earnings (excluding hybrids and DTAs); 2) an Peter Carter introduction of a leverage ratio based on a harmonised definition; 3) a 30-day Analyst liquidity ratio; 4) counter-cyclical buffers; and 5) a new risk weighting to reflect [email protected] counter-party risk. +44 20 7568 4043 !

The implementation deadline is year-end 2012, although extended transition arrangements might be permitted. ! Initial conclusion While the proposed framework appears to be robust and comprehensive, regulatory uncertainty will likely persist, given the absence of definitive quantifications, and could continue to weigh on sector growth and risk appetite. As such, we maintain our preference for banks that are well capitalised and strongly funded. Following coverage initiation, we add BAC to our preferred list.

  • Investor Relations Release Postbank Will Process Payment Transactions
    Investor Relations Release Postbank will process payment transactions for Deutsche Bank and Dresdner Bank - Deutsche Bank to contribute its subsidiary DB Payments - Dresdner Bank to contribute its subsidiary Dresdner Zahlungsverkehrsservice - Joint synergies Deutsche Bank and Dresdner Bank will have their payments processed by Postbank. Preliminary agreements for this have now been signed by the three companies. The partners see this as an important step in implementing their strategic objectives and as an important signal for the consolidation of the German banking market. For the three banks' clients, nothing will change: The clients' accounts will continue to be kept, as before, with their respective banks. As a result of this agreement, Postbank will become one of the leading payments clearing houses in Germany. A few days ago, Postbank announced it was examining the possibilities of an IPO within the next 18 months. For this reason, Professor Dr. Wulf von Schimmelmann, Chairman of the Board of Management of Deutsche Postbank AG, sees the transaction as "an important component of the planned IPO". It strengthens the bank’s new business field "Transaction Bank". "The capacity of our platform will be used more efficiently. Thus, we can present a win-win situation for everyone involved: Our partners will be able to reduce their costs; we will be able to increase our revenues." Already today, Postbank is one of the big players in clearing payments, handling over 10 million transactions per day. For Deutsche Bank, this is a further logical step in the concentration on its core businesses and represents a high-performance partnership. "Early on we signalized to the market that we wanted to achieve synergies in transaction banking.
