'We bring good things to life' is a very familiar slogan that any American can easily recall. The slogan has been recently replaced by the slogan 'imagination at work'. GE has remodeled its logo and given a new direction to its business. It has launched an "Ecoimagination" initiative to project itself as an eco-friendly and 'green' company.

Thomas Alva Edison, the founder of GE, invented nearly a thousand products. Out of them the incandescent electric lamp is the most prominent one. Today the company manufactures jet engines and generates wind energy. GE has stayed in business because of a series of innovations and the invention of a number of products over the years. If it was a dynamo and an electric fan back in the late 1800s and the early 1900s, it's the light VCD to detect health defects faster, which GE has come up with recently. There are a myriad of products that GE has given to the world in addition to these.

Right from day one, even before the company had a logo, GE advertised for its products in the print media. It was in 1892 that the logo 'ge' was created. The company regularly promoted its brand in the print and visual media. Now its ad copies have a lot of white space signifying the company's openness and accessibility.
