brand

/bɹand/noun

A permanent mark burned into skin or material with heated metal, traditionally used to identify livestock or label barrels.

Example sentence

“Each cow on the ranch carries the owner's brand on its hide.”

The marketing sense now dominates: a company's brand is its public identity. "Brand new" preserves the old fire imagery: fresh from the flame.
