| 2 | 2003 | 2834 | In launching their rival impotency drug, Levitra, Bayer and GlaxoSmithKline studied consumer response to Viagra. They found that consumers didn't "resonate with the imagery of Viagra. They find the blue (pill) color too cool. They equate it with being sick." So, the co-marketers decided upon a vibrant orange color for the Levitra pills and an orange and purple flame as the logo. |
