We may hate accidentally standing on it but Lego remains our top brand with Amazon the most 'relevant' in the new 2019 league of superbrands.

Lego has again topped the annual superbrands index, which each year invites 2,500 British shoppers and industry experts to judge 1,500 brands based on 'quality, reliability and distinction'.

A second league table ranks the brands considered most 'relevant' and both are a strong indication of which firms are successful and which need to worry.

For 2019, Apple moved up one place to second in the overall rankings, reversing positions with Gillette which was ranked third.

This newspaper has compiled a quiz including the logos of well known firms in Norfolk, mostly unique to this county, to see how well branding works.

Sarah West, managing director of Norwich's Full Mix Marketing, which helps build brands for businesses, said: 'Branding is very powerful and often underestimated. More than just a name or logo, it's a way to communicate a lot of information quickly to your target customers.

'From a technology giant to a local hairdresser, getting it right can have an enormous impact on success.

'However, brands are all about reputation and can quickly become damaged by poor customer service, negative publicity or bad products. However, brands can also fail because they misunderstand their customers and no longer reflect the qualities or attributes they're looking for.'
