Every agency has posted the cow in a tuxedo. We just did it too, so we're allowed to say it.
The joke is always the same: same cow, add a bow tie, call it branding. Which is strange, because the point of the post is meant to be that branding isn't decoration and then it shows you decoration.
Gold horns are a logo with better PR.
Branding is the thing that happens in the two seconds before someone chooses. Three identical products on a shelf, roughly the same price, and one of them gets picked. Nothing on it is objectively better. Something about it is already familiar, or already trusted, or already means something.
That's the whole game. Not what the cow is wearing. Why anyone walks past the other two.
