Brand Dimensions

A brand is composed of signifier and signified: signifier refers to the material that signifies, such as words, images, or logos, while signified refers to the concept or meaning associated with the signifier.
Brand signifier can be broken down into five dimensions: sensory identity, visual identity, auditory identity, tactile identity, and olfactory identity.

Brand Name

- Unique and distinctive
- International and possibly declinable
- Not already a registered trademark
