Brand

A brand is a "name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's good or service as distinct from those of other sellers." Branding began as a way to tell one person's cattle from another by means of a hot iron stamp. A modern example of a brand is Coca Cola which belongs to the Coca-Cola Company.

Famous quotes containing the word brand:

    I, in my brand new body,
    which was not a woman’s yet,
    told the stars my questions
    and thought God could really see
    the heat and the painted light,
    elbows, knees, dreams, goodnight.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Tell me what brand of whiskey that Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    To a maiden true he’ll give his hand,
    Hey lillie, ho lillie lallie,
    To the king’s daughter o’ fair England,
    To a prize that was won by a slain brother’s brand,
    I’ the brave nights so early.
    —Unknown. Earl Brand (l. 67–71)
