Nike 

 Vans 






Nike: I like Nike a lot because i play football. Almost every football players wears something that has Nike on it, it could be shorts, shirts, shoes, cleats, and gloves. Nike is a very great quality brand as well so, a lot of things can be really expensive. 

Vans: I have been wearing vans since the 4th grade. I wear them because they are cheap and can match with basically anything. A lot of people wear vans at our school even though they can be uncomfortable. I like the style that they use for a basic shoe.    

Branding: Branding is when a company shows off their brand by making things for people to use. It could be clothes, phone cases, bags, and things that people will use on a daily basis. 

Identity: Identity is the fact of what a thing is. It identifies someone or something. Almost everything has an identity.

Logo: A logo shows off the company by clothing, cars, bags, and other things that people use. Every design has a logo because they need to show off this product by adding a design.
