The discourse of terrorism is a global issue but tends to be interpreted as controversial. This study sought to dismantle the controversy of meanings through the analysis of signs and meanings, with a view to explore and demonstrate the wave of democratization that took place in post-reform era in Indonesia. This study was a case study using readers’ responses to terrorism issues provided by cyber media on the Internet. It also rests primarily on the semiotic theory of Peirce and the concept of democratization of Huntington. The results showed that participation, freedom of expression, and equal power relations occurred in the interactive discourse in the cyber news media in the form of a dialogue between the responders, the media, and the debate among the responders. Responders tended to argue that signs and meanings are constructed by the media and to interpret information about terrorism as "political engineering" which was expressed by means of emotive tone. Meanwhile, the media tended to construct a "political imagery" which was expressed in a confrontational way, and the resources tended to understand it as "noise level of political elite ", which was expressed in a persuasive manner. Such differences occurred due to the factors of media context that tended to be "convivial" and the context of the communication situation on the Internet that tends to show "discretion". Based on these findings, this study concluded that interactive discourse in the Internet can be formulated as a democratic forum as the meaning making of the text is no longer dominated by media and the sources of information, but tend to be shared with the public. However, in terms of discourse process, interactive discourse in cyber media tends to be anarchic because the tone of interaction tends to be little, the relationship patterns tend to center on and be dominated by responders, the identities of responders tend to be anonymous, and linguistic expressions of the responders tend to be emotive.

This study involves the discovery of verbal and non-verbal signs, which also describe the meaning of verbal and non-verbal signs found in the facial wash commercial advertisements. The data were taken from three printed facial wash advertisements. The data source has been taken from the internet. This study used the semiotic hypothesis provided by Saussure (1983: 65) to find out the verbal and non-verbal signs and the theoretical meaning provided by Barthes (1977) to find out the meaning of verbal and non-verbal signs in the facial wash ads. The analysis used a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze the results. As a result, the three facial wash ads show verbal and nonverbal signs that enable the company to market its product. In the verbal signs of the advertising, most of them contain denotative meaning and non-verbal signs which is in part, contain connotative meaning in certain advertisements. Two advertisements used a female as a model; one advertisement used a male as a model. This means that advertisers seek to gain public attention through the use of pretty females, popular figures and natural extracts or ingredients.

<p>This research shows that the origins of the confusion surroundings the theoretical status of cyber technology memes today could be found in culture. Those memes later developed in memetics the science of memes. Memes are a common way for individuals to communicate online. Internet users often use memes to reply to each other on social networking sites or other online forums. This research argues that memes are successfully used for communication purposes because certain memes (specifically image macros) are essentially speech acts and are also understood as being speech acts by internet users. When creating a meme, choices are made concerning the specific semiotic resources to be used and the internet community then interprets these resources to facilitate communication between the meme creator and the internet community. Memes can be recreated for different purposes and therefore it is possible to group memes under already existing speech acts and speculate about the ways in which these might correspond to speech acts in the future.</p>

The article conducted a comparative analysis of the blood services’ logos, identified the features of their constituent elements for the new logo’s development or existing logo’s rebranding, and suggested ways to increase their efficiency. It was found 100 logos of various blood service establishments on the Internet, in particular on the official websites of the establishments and official pages on social networks, 43 of them – Europe (12 of them – Ukraine), 13 – Asia, 19 – South and North America, 15 – Africa, 10 – Australia and Oceania. There were explored the following aspects: symbolic and font elements in the logo, the colors used and their quantity, the main messages of identity, and regional differences. There were used general scientific analytical methods and analogies and prototypes to obtain practical results during the study. This study indicates that most blood establishments in the region are characterized by combined compositions in logos – a combination of the font with a visual component but with a fairly direct connotation. The most popular colors in the blood service are red, blue, black, and white font. Logos most often use 2 colors (except white), less often 1 or 3. The following blood service symbols are most often used: a drop of blood, heart, cross, person, and hands. There is also a circle, a crescent moon, a pelican, a star, and a butterfly. They stimulate a certain type of behavior and affect feelings. The results of this research allow to create a good separation from competitors and several times increase the marketing performance of the newly formed organization or existing. Blood service institutions can use this study’s results to rebrand the organization and organizations’ owners to develop the future brand’s identity.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />In the era of globalization, the Internet is growing rapidly. One proof of the development of the internet is the emergence of a social media platform that can change the way people live in the field of communication, health, business and others. One of the social media that is often used is Youtube. And the content created by brands that continue to experience positive trends from year to year is webseries. This research uses Charles Sanders Peirce semiotic analysis method. The Peirce Semiotics Method is used to see representation of brand identity present at Jelang Buka from Unilever, Sore from Tropicana Slim and Balada Al Prilly from Vivo. The findings of the research show that Tropicana Slim with Sore webseries is more implicit in conveying brand identity to the audience by prioritizing a healthy lifestyle campaign. While Unilever with Jelang Buka webseries and Vivo with Balada Al Prilly webseries explicitly conveys identity by bringing up their products in every episode. The brand identity that appears in the three webseries is represented so neatly and flows together with the story of the webseries so that the audience can enjoy the advertisement with the story presented by each brand without having to force the ad to see it. As a practical suggestion many brands in all sectors can consider creating ads using webseries on Youtube because they have a large number of viewers and for brands that have made the webseries consistent with other stories or continuing stories. The academic advice is expected to do further research in the field of quantitative to see the effectiveness of webseries as a medium of advertising on consumer buying considering it has many audiences.<br />Keyword: Brand Identity, Webseries, Youtube, Advertisement, Semiotic.</p><p> </p><p>ABSTRAK<br />Di era globalisasi, internet berkembang semakin pesat. Salah satu bukti berkembangnya internet adalah munculnya sebuah platform media sosial yang dapat mengubah cara hidup masyarakat di bidang komunikasi, kesehatan, bisnis dan lain-lain. Dan salah satu media sosial yang sering digunakan adalah Youtube. Dan konten yang dibuat oleh brand yang terus mengalami tren positif dari tahun ke tahun adalah webseries. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce. Metode Semiotika Peirce digunakan untuk melihat representasi brand identity yang hadir di webseries Jelang Buka dari Unilever, Sore dari Tropicana Slim dan Balada Al Prilly dari Vivo. Penemuan hasil penelitian menunjukka yaitu Tropicana Slim dengan webseries Sore lebih implisit dalam menyampaikan identitas merek kepada penontonnya dengan mengutamakan kampanye gaya hidup sehat. Sementara Unilever dengan webseries Jelang Buka dan Vivo dengan webseries Balada Al Prilly dalam menyampaikan identitas secara eksplisit dengan memunculkan produk-produknya di setiap episode. Identitas merek yang dimunculkan di ketiga webseries tersebut di representasikan begitu rapih dan mengalir menjadi satu dengan cerita webseries tersebut sehingga penonton dapat menikmati iklan dengan cerita yang disuguhkan masing-masing brand tanpa harus memaksa melihat iklan tersebut. Sebagai saran praktis diharpakan berbagai brand di segala bidang dapat mempertimbangkan untuk membuat iklan menggunakan webseries di Youtube karena memiki jumlah penonton yang banyak dan bagi brand yang telah membuat webseries tetap konsisten denga membuat cerita-certa lain atau melanjutkn cerita sebelumnya. Adapun saran akademik yang diharapkan agar dilakukannya penelitian lanjutan di bidang kuantitatif untuk melihat efektifitas webseries sebagai media periklanan terhadap minat beli masyarakat mengingat jumlah penonton yang banyak di tren webseries ini.  Kata Kunci: Brand Identity, Webseries, Youtube, Periklanan, Semiotika</p>
