A brand began as a permanent sign of ownership of an animal made with a hot poker. It was subsequently used to burn a mark on casks of wine. A “brand-mark” came to mean a “trademark” or “brand.” Brand was formally adopted as a term in 1929 when Standard Brands (now Kraft) resulted from the merger of several food manufacturers.

A uniquely styled brand identity creates a recognizable ‘signature’ that creates recognition among consumers and enhances their familiarity with the product. A uniquely shaped signature is also referred to as the brand’s logo. The logo can take many forms. It can be based on the brand name in a unique typographic format. The logo can also take the form of a symbol that has an association with the product or can also be an abstract shape designed to achieve brand recall.

It is important to keep logo as constant as possible. The logo style and proportions should be maintained on all packages, regardless of packaging form, shape, and size. Many companies do not follow this rule. They allow the proportions of the logo to be altered depending on the package proportions, on the vertical or horizontal orientation of the packages, or to accommodate variations in the packaging graphics. Maintaining the integrity of the Logo This only serves to dissipate brand recognition and can weaken the franchise of the product.
