Brands say it all!

What first thing comes to your mind when you compare any gadgets/goods/services?

The trust for your company reflects from its brand name.
The more your are know (for good) the better will be your market capitalization in terms of brand awareness. Customers do prefer brand value when it comes to competition with similar services/products in offer.
Some of the popular brands make things tangible to what my take is:
