A world without brands?

Try to imagine it. No logos, no names, no labels—just objects stripped of identity. Yet everywhere we look, brands shape our choices:
Fruits sold under names like Saint-Tropez or Camembert.
Artists whose signatures—Picasso, Vautrier—carry as much weight as their works.
Designers like Philippe Starck or Ora Ito, instantly recognizable.
Clubs such as Manchester United or PSG, where the brand eclipses the team itself.
Icons like David Beckham or Eric Cantona, whose persona became a global trademark.
Even institutions like the Louvre or the Sorbonne—brands in their own right.
Unbranded objects are nearly extinct. Even Muji, founded on the idea of “no brand,” has become a powerful brand itself.
So is branding just a feature of consumer society? Not quite.
Long before the industrial revolution, branding was already at play. Archaeologists have found marks on Greek pottery dating back 1,300 years before our era. These were early brands—names, motifs, or signs—meant to identify the maker and distinguish their craft from others.
At its core, the brand was born as an anthropological sign with two purposes:
To prove origin.
To stand apart.
Its value lay in the signature, the guarantee of craftsmanship.
From the 18th century onwards, branding exploded in significance. Mass production, mechanisation, and global trade separated maker from merchant. Packaging, printing, and advertising emerged as powerful tools—not just to protect or explain a product, but to seduce, persuade, and differentiate.
Today, the logic hasn’t changed: in a crowded market, differentiation is survival.
