Advertising Week wants you to vote in their poll to name the best advertising icons of all-time and the best slogans of all-time. This poll happens every year, and you can see past winners who are now in the Walk of Fame at the link above.

This year the choices include Ronald McDonald (as well as the slogan "I'm Lovin' It"), that creepy Burger King guy, the Maytag repairman, Snap, Crackle, and Pop, "Got Milk" and more.

To me the best icons are when the manufacturer can get his or her product to be used in the english language.

Here are three examples.

People always say " I need to get get some Scotch tape" Threy really mean cellaphane tape but Scotch brand bcame the word to use.

People go to buy "Jello". It's really gellatin they want but Jello is always mentioned.

For years upon years companies didn't duplicate paper but would say "I have to Zerox this" Now that's advertising.

For my money, it's the sweet and cute icons that always win.

My favorites:

1. Pillsbury Doughboy
2. Michelin Man
3. The really cute C-O-M-C-A-S-T DREAM BIG commercials
