Prudential set a goal of 200,000 volunteer hours in order to give back to the communities that have supported and utilized its services. This goal was far exceeded when the company recorded more than 275,000 volunteer hours in its anniversary year. Dan Forsman, President and CEO for Prudential Atlanta/Georgia Realty, summed up the longevity of Prudential. "We are proud to have such a rich and reputable history to draw from the Prudential organization," he said. "The Prudential rock logo is a widely recognized and accepted symbol of quality and service. Our sales associates work tirelessly to uphold and perpetuate this reputation and image in the metro Atlanta real estate market." The rock logo was first used by Prudential in 1896 with the slogan "The Prudential has the strength of Gibraltar." Over the years the widely recognized symbol has taken on various forms until it evolved into the present logo. One of the company's most memorable logos in advertising history, "Get a piece of the Rock," made its debut in 1970. The company's strength and stability are further evidenced by the fact that the organization has been doing business from the same headquarter city, with offices on the same street, for 125 consecutive years. Today, the Prudential organization, based in Newark, NJ, has taken on international proportions with operations in 30 countries and over 17 million customers. Prudential's trusted services and logo have also achieved more than a 98 percent consumer recognition rating.
