When I first started building my business, I thought branding meant having a cool logo.

So, I found a designer.

We brainstormed. We picked colors. We chose a font that looked “bold but not too bold.” We even added an animation that made the logo spin when you loaded the site.

₹50,000 later, I had a beautiful logo.

But no sales.

No traction. No buzz. No one saying, “Hey, love your brand.”

Turns out, no one cared about my spinning logo.

And that’s when it hit me:

Your logo is not your brand.

Your logo is the face. But your brand is the soul.

It’s what people say about you when you’re not in the room. It’s how they feel when they interact with you. It’s the story you tell—consistently, clearly, and confidently.

And trust me, no story gets told with just a symbol in a circle.

People don’t remember visuals. They remember vibes.

Think about your favorite brands.

Nike. Zomato. Amul. Apple.

You remember how they make you feel.

Nike isn’t just a swoosh—it’s confidence in motion. Zomato isn’t just red—it’s hunger with a sense of humor. Apple isn’t just a fruit with a bite—it’s simplicity, elevated.

They didn’t win because of a logo.

They won because of meaning.

Their logo became iconic because of the meaning behind it.
