The word, brand, is dictionary defined as a type of product manufactured by a particular company under a particular name. However, this definition lies on the surface of how a brand is defined in the world of design. Brand means something different to each person whether it is a current consumer, potential customer, employee, prospect, or an individual within a larger population. Brands can take various forms: a human, an idea, a place, an experience, or a tangible object. This makes the word brand difficult to define and describe…that’s why each successful brand has a logo.

Logos serve as an iconic representation of a brand. A logo is a way for someone to quickly recognize and comprehend how a product or service relates to them. The logo design is the graphic expression of the brand, but building a brand is much deeper and more valuable.

Successful brands develop logos that have more than plain text of their name; they have a specific detail that indicates the brands overall intention, goal, or service provided. These details make the brand stand out among the competition.

The following are 4 successful companies that have developed brands and logos that represent them:

  1. Amazon:

  1. FedEx:
