Branding is the process of giving something or someone a clear and recognizable identity. It can include a name, logo, colors, words, sounds, and a style of design. These features help people tell one brand from another and remember what it represents.

The word comes from an old practice of marking animals with a hot iron so their owners could identify them. Today, branding is usually done through advertisements, packaging, websites, and customer experiences.
