A brand is the proprietary visual, emotional, rational, and cultural image that you associate with a company, product or institution. Your brand identity includes brand names, logos, positioning, brand associations, and the personality you want your company to show. A good brand name gives a good first impression and evokes positive associations with the brand.

• Do they paint a consistent brand picture?
