1.1 History / Name and Background company name
The letter “K” had been a favorite of Eastman’s, he is quoted as saying, “it seems a strong, incisive sort of letter.” He and his mother devised the name Kodak with an anagram set. He said that there were three principal concepts he used in creating the name: it should be short, one cannot mispronounce it, and it could not resemble anything or be associated with anything but Kodak. background
Kodak’s origins rest with Eastman Dry Plate Company, and the General Aristo Company, founded by inventor George Eastman in Rochester and Jamestown, New York. The General Aristo Company was formed in 1899 in Jamestown New York, with George Eastman as treasurer, and this company purchased the stock of American Aristotype Company. George Eastman registered the trademark Kodak on September 4, 1888. The Eastman Kodak Company was founded by Eastman in 1892. He also coined the advertising slogan, “You press the button, we do the rest.”
kodak was the biggest technology company, and has the widest business of the world.

New kodak: Expanding the boundaries of community 2.1 Looking Forward / Next Generation Community and our social networks provide the human contact and context that gives meaning and purpose to our lives. At the center of our lives are our primary relationships-family, friends, colleagues and we find solidity and unity with church members, club members and sports fans. Look at the success of social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Today, many of the tradition institutions that provided community are gone or diminished like church, civic and fraternal organizations. Therefore, now more than ever we need new sources of community, new centers of interest or concern to gather round. My project is about creating new ways, places, events and products to bring people together.

Connecting friends and family and providing them with the tools for capturing moments of spontaneity and joy are the essence of Kodak’s brand mission. Retaining its core values, Kodak utilizes the latest in technology and designs to create a new generation of products and services and preserve its legacy of connection and spontaneity.
