  Every time, they talk about Logos, the most iconic brand which comes to my mind is NIKE - Just Do It.  So, what did Nike's Swoosh, did to us. According  to a recent study, in US, more Americans have searched or typed in the keyword - Nike over shoes, on Google, when they have searched for footwear. That's the power of the brand and its logo. It talks. A direct Call to act, - Just f....g DO IT - a strong verb.

There are teams to make all the magic happens, but where is the team, what is the team, can there be a 1 man team or a 1,000 member team?  So, there needs to be a team to make it all happen. But how?? They say, one shirt doesn't fit all, hence, like people, all brands have a distinct identity, those need to be identified. Basically, it's the creative approach in developing the perfect brand strategies has worked wonders for all the brands.     Is like asking, ‘Hello What is your name?’ Now, different people would express or say their names differently.
