Brand elements such as logos, names, symbols and slogans are used to identify and differentiate brands from competitors. When choosing brand elements, marketers consider criteria like memorability, meaningfulness, appeal, adaptability, protectability, and transferability. The entire set of cohesive brand elements form a brand's identity, and each element plays a role in building brand equity when strategically selected and implemented.

7. Difference between Logos & Symbols
Logo is the short version of
logotype. It is the name of a
business designed specifically for
that company. IBM, written in blue
stripes, is a logo.
A symbol is just that. A symbol (but
not the name of the company)
that represents that company. The
apple with the piece out of it is a
symbol of Apple computers.

symbol—one that takes
on human or real-life
characteristics

figures like Ronald
McDonald.

communicate descriptive or persuasive
information about the brand.

10. • From the perspective of both
the firm and consumers,
packaging must achieve a
number of objectives:
– Identify the brand
– Convey descriptive and
persuasive information
– Facilitate product
transportation and
protection
– Assist at-home storage
– Aid product consumption
Packaging

11. Our sense of
taste and touch
is very
suggestible, and
what we see on a
package can lead
us to taste what
we think we are
going to taste.
Packaging can influence taste

12. Jingles
◻ Musical messages written around the brand
◻ Have catchy hooks and choruses that
become permanently registered in the minds
of listeners
◻ Enhance brand awareness by repeating the
brand name in clever and amusing ways

13. Putting brand elements all together
• The entire set of brand elements makes up the brand
identity, the contribution of all brand elements to
awareness and image.
• The cohesiveness of the brand identity depends on the
extent to which the brand elements are consistent.
