Branding
First we started this topic with looking at the logo of many brands and trying to name them. Then we were looking at what makes a brand. I found that the colored logos are more catchy than the non-colored logos and the well-designed logos help a lot with identifying brands. Logo is very important for brands as an identity, a signature that people recognize the brands.
What is a brand?
Collection of
images
Name
Logo / symbol
Slogan / claim
Design scheme (CI)
Collection of ideas
Product
Philosophy
Lifestyle
Service
• Branding is not a logo
• Branding is not a description of what a company sells or offers to the customer
• Branding is not an advertising campaign or program
• Branding is not an in-store collateral
• Branding is not a signage or staff uniforms
but all of these components help to bring a brand to life.

accumulation of experiences with the specific product or service through"

with product or service - How people think and feel with a brand from their experience about products and services.

design and media commentary - Brand producers build uniqueness of the brand by advertising ,using internet and all kinds of media to make their brand recognizable, unique and coerce consumers to have an obvious opinion about their brands and their competitors. .
