In the 21st century of globalization, nations create and manage their nation brand images strategically. As one way to promote the nation images, nation brand slogans are used. Since 2002 World Cup in Korea, the Korea Tourism Organization has employed three slogans to present the dynamic image of Korea and to promote the image of developing Korea: “Dynamic Korea”, “Korea Sparkling”, “Korea, Be Inspired”. In order to confirm whether these slogans successfully promote Korean images or not, this paper investigated the images of the slogans from the receiver perspectives (N=38) and presented the linguistic analysis on the slogans. In addition, this paper argues that the three slogans do not successfully promote Korea nation images because of lexical and structural ambiguities of the slogans. It is also discussed in this paper that the receiver meanings of the slogans can be different from the sender meanings: “Dynamic Korea” and “Korea, Be Inspired” can evoke the image of North Korea; “Korea Sparkling” can be thought as sparkling drinks from Korea; “Korea, Be Inspired” can be interpreted as “Korea, which needs to be inspired”, not as the sender meaning “Korea, where you are inspired”. Thus, it is required to reconsider the slogans and create a new slogan that can be classified as a “Love Mark” (Park 2004) and manage it strategically.

제품 디자인은 기업에게 경쟁적 이점을 제공해주는 중요한 요인으로 고려되고 있다. 본 연구는 소비자 관점에서의 디자인 평가 요소가 디자인 가치를 통해 브랜드 충성도에 미치는 영향을 구조적으로 탐색하였다. 연구결과 대부분의 디자인 평가요소들이 세 가지 유형의 디자인 가치에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 먼저 소비자들의 디자인 평가요소 중 심미성, 여성성, 고귀성, 효율성 등이 이성적 디자인 가치와 사용감각적 디자인 가치, 감성적 가치에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 독특성의 경우에는 이성적 디자인 가치와 사용감각적 디자인 가치에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하였으나 감성적 디자인 가치에는 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 디자인이 전달하는 가치와 브랜드 충성도 간의 관계에 대한 검증에서는 이성적 디자인 가치, 사용감각적 디자인 가치, 감성적 디자인 가치가 태도적 브랜드 충성도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이성적 디자인 가치와 사용감각적 디자인 가치는 행동적 브랜드 충성도에도 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 감성적 디자인 가치는 행동적 브랜드 충성도에는 직접적인 영향을 미치지 못하고 태도적 브랜드 충성도를 통해 행동적 브랜드 충성도에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 태도적 브랜드 충성도는 행동적 브랜드 충성도에 강한 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

새로운 기술의 발달과 소비자들의 다양한 요구로 인해 기업들은 소비자들의 시선을 끌기 위해 다양한 차별화 전략을 고심하고 있다. 제품의 아이덴티티나 브랜드 이미지 또한 이러한 차별화 전략 중의 하나로 제품에 새로운 가치를 부여하는 주요한 수단이 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소비자에게 형성된 브랜드 이미지 중에서 제품을 사용하면서 형성된 감성적인 이미지를 브랜드 감성 이미지라고 정의하고, 사용자가 제품을 사용하면서 느끼는 여섯 가지 대표감성을 평가하여 국내 대표 휴대폰 브랜드 세 개(A브랜드, C브랜드, S브랜드)의 감성 이미지를 비교해 보았다. 휴대폰을 실제 사용하고 있는 사용자들이 휴대폰을 사용하면서 느꼈던 감성을 평가해 봄으로써 국내 휴대폰 브랜드의 이미지, 특히 감성적인 측면에서의 이미지를 평가해 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과만으로 성급하게 국내 휴대폰 브랜드의 감성 이미지를 규명하기에는 다소 미흡하지만 향후 연령대, 직업, 성비 등 다양한 인구통계학적 변수를 고려하여 연구를 진행한다면 보다 명확한 브랜드 감성 이미지를 추출할 수 있으리라 기대한다.
