A brand is the sum of total results coming from customer experience with the products using. More specifically, it refers to the ideas and images represented by colors, words and symbols like company's name, logo, tagline, and visual identity that showing the essence of the company and it's products.

Normally, we look to the signs and the attributes of any brand. Then we study the role of branding as it's seen by customer and the company. Finally, we will finish with a contract binds between the loyal customers and the company having the brand.
