                         One brand I catch myself purchasing over and over  are brands that include the superman logo. My earliest memory of superman was when I was no younger than five years old. I remember seeing superman in commercials, cartoons and products with the superman logo in stores. I had no idea who he was or what his story was. I grew up with my two uncles who helped take care of me. They both knew about superhero's I learned a bit through them when I lived in Trinidad with them. I moved to New York at age seven never had an interest in any particular brand. When I met my boyfriend we went to see the movie Man of Steel. He was obsessed with the story of superman and knew all the details, so he filled me in. I still did not have much of an interest in the story yet. We went to see the movie one night and I remember after that night I was obsessed as much as he was with superman’s story. The story was truly moving. It had kindness, and love. Anytime my boyfriend and I went to new places we would get souvenirs. We would always look for things specifically with the superman logo. The superman logo became our signature logo. We went to six flags and got a coffee mug with the superman logo. I was shopping one day in long island and saw a superman tee couldn't resist not buying it for my boyfriend. My boyfriend went to Dave and busters with his friends one night while I was on vacation in Trinidad and for his prize he picked a man of steel superman stuffed doll. I was probably more excited about that than seeing him at the airport. I would like to introduce the story of superman to my children one day and hope that they love it as much as I do. The superman logo has more meaning to my life than just a logo it reminds me to be as kind as he is love like he does and of course be super fit. After all Superman does have a reputation to keep up.
