Comments on: What if Septa stations could be branded? https://templeadlib.com/what-if-septa-stations-could-be-branded/ The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students Wed, 30 Jun 2010 00:08:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.1 By: Anthony https://templeadlib.com/what-if-septa-stations-could-be-branded/comment-page-1/#comment-152 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 00:08:41 +0000 https://smc.temple.edu/ad-lib/?p=1412#comment-152 Today I actually found a stop that is branded. I’m not sure how official it is, but I don’t see how it would be possible otherwise. The Spring Garden EL stop is covered with “Pabst Blue Label” graphics. These aren’t wraps or posters, the columns (among other places) appeared to be hand painted. The Google search shows this as a description…

“Submit your original Pabst-inspired art. Make art and win free beer.”

It would make sense…

What everybody hates about Septa is the monopoly. The best alternative would simply be a cab, bike, or a rental. Some stops do have themes, but they are linked to any particular brand.

I believe changing the station names to AT&T etc., would be profitable perhaps in one aspect but may confuse passengers and lead some to look for alternate modes of transportation.
