An example of a Branded band is Billy Talent. Whilst they are not associated with big products or names, they have a defined look - shown is their album cover for Billy Talent I - the style matching with the songs in their brash, aggressive, rebellious style.

The colours red and beige contrasting perhaps represent their 'bad boy' style and rebellious attitudes, whilst the tear/hole in the red half is reminiscent of a broken window - a well known symbol of youth crime and rebelliousness.

Here we have a video which shows us this image I have described in action. We can see that Billy Talent have gone for an almost Hollywood style look, using yellow and purple filters.
