Branding initially started with the branding of animals such as cows. A symbol was marked on to the cow to convey a message. Typically, who the cow belonged to, what breed they were and quality. It helped to segregate the cow and to differentiate it from others. That’s what branding does. It differentiates a product from the other in a specific manner. It gives a product or service an identity. Branding creates a feeling or emotion, and is an idea of an image of a product. It creates a loyalty to a certain product or service. It expresses its value and communicates what a particular brand is. A brand unlike marketing doesn’t push a person to buy something. A person who understands a brand would just be pulled to buy it, due his faith in it. According to Jeff Bezoz “ Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room “. A brand is what people think about you, it gives you a feeling of your product.

A brand is not a logo.
People always think the two to be the same.
A logo may be the first point of communication
between an organisation and its customers.
But, it is not the brand itself.
It is usually a cooler sounding name
for a symbol that acts as a face of the company.
Or a series of symbols – who wants a static logo these days?
A logo doesn’t always have to be
a literal representation of the company.
A film company doesn’t need to have a camera as a logo.
What’s important is
that the logo connects with your customers,
it is simple, easy, sticks to the mind,
it’s like-able,
maybe causes some disturbance.
What is also important is that
that your logo is not boring.
Remember it goes everywhere your business goes.
Take care to get a good one.
