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:

    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)

    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)

    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)
