Branding... as pointed out could have a confused meaning when talked about in an advertisement agency. Yet after thinking about it, there is an interesting view when you think about how you can connect the two into a similar meaning. A brand, is an identity, you make a brand for your company/product to make it known to all who it is and belongs to. Well it's very much the same thing as branding cattle. You make a design to mark your products, the cattle. Than when seen by others they know who the cattle belong to. And it's like the calf/cow is trademarked so someone else can't steal it and make profit off it or will be greatly fined. So when talking about branding it's really not that big of a difference, just the main diff is one's put onto a lifeless product often by a machine, and the other is onto a live mammal done by hand.
Just some thoughts... along with a picture I've found and love!
