calculators, refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines. In 1970, Samsung Group
established another subsidiary, Samsung-NEC, jointly with Japan's NEC Corporation to
manufacture home appliances and audiovisual devices. In 1974, the group expanded into
the semiconductor business by acquiring Korea Semiconductor, one of the first chip-making
facilities in the country at the time.

televisions. In February 1983, Samsung's founder, Lee Byung-chull, made an announcement

companies. In additionSamsung had a number of technological breakthroughs particularly in the
field of memory which are commonplace in most electrical products today. This includes the

in 1993, celebrating the 55th anniversary of the company. The dynamic blue new
Samsung logo has now become one of the most popular and instantly recognizable
logos in the electronics marketplace. It features the companys name inside a basic oval
shape which is rotated about ten degrees from the x-axis, producing a sense of dynamic
tension. Moreover, the name Samsung bleeds out of the mark, hence intelligibly
dissects it. As a result, the outer shape can be easily noticed as a spotlight crystallizing
the brand name.
