There is a misconception when it comes to what a brand really is. It’s not just the Golden Arches of McDonalds, the Nike Swoosh, or Apple’s the half-eaten piece of fruit. A brand is more than just a logo, color scheme and slogan. It is the statement of your company.
McDonalds’ brand tries to convey good food, fast, and at the lowest possible price. Nike prides themselves on being the shoe/clothing company of the world’s finest athletes and Apple is innovative, easy and the best looking products in technology.
