Brands. The color in our vast commercial world. Whether it’s the threads on your back or the shoes on your feet there is no denying as human beings we each exude an eclectic combination of brands within our daily lives. Brands line the aisles in the grocery store, are presented in the windows of storefronts, and are purchased everyday via a variety of different methods from human beings across the globe. Brands are iconic, rich, vivid and ever evolving as time progresses forward. But one might ask, well how did brands take over the world? When did individuals start buying to the concept that one company has better product over another. The answer is simple. Since the biblical days of Adam and Eve or the evolution of man it seems that human beings have been turning out products and engaging in the marketplace of ideas all in an effort to highlight themselves and the work in which they engage within. It is not surprising to find then that the very word branding originated from cattle farmers taking hot irons and marking their cattle to distinguish herds from others. Brands are distinguishing. Brands today encompass everything from eye catching colors, creative designs and simplistic strategies by which they persuade us into being a believer. Brands communicate. A successful brand speaks to us on a number of levels and amongst many means. Brands have evolved into an entire business industry rooted in communication. Brands are jobs. Companies selling consumer goods target individuals 24/7 in an effort to not only be noticed but to push their product. Case in point why we swim in colorful advertisements each and everyday through the pages of a magazine of images on a television commercial. Brands take on life. Companies target people of all ages, all races and all ethnicities in an effort to bring in revenue. Brands work. On every street in America there are brands lining the sidewalks and dotting the horizon as businesses and commercial entities. Brands are the tools by which human beings communicate with the outside world. Walk into any conference or board room meeting, and it becomes very easy to spot brands. The Rolex watch, a crisp suit or sleek pair of heels, again these are all items that have brands. Brands flourish. Money makes the world go round and as brands generate income and revenue for the masses, they are with us for life. Branding is simple. It all comes back to being the color in our commercial world.
