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:
“The question mark is alright when it is all alone when it
is used as a brand on cattle or when it could be used
in decoration but connected with writing it is
completely entirely completely uninteresting.... A
question is a question, anybody can know that a
question is a question and so why add to it the
question mark when it is already there when the
question is already there in the writing.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“This brand of soap has the same smell as once in the big
House he visited when he was eight:”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
“Obligation may be stretched till it is no better than a brand of slavery stamped on us when we were too young to know its meaning.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
