Generally, it refers to the brand logo of a company or factory. The common picture combination is the logo plus the full name or abbreviation of the company, and some also add the company introduction; in music, it refers to the record company.

The common installation forms of factory signs can be divided into entrance signs and nameplates, large characters on the roof, and wall signs. The English name of record label is: Record label. Record label translated into Chinese means record company. Many people in China think that labels and record companies are two different things. The reason is that labels are often mentioned in foreign countries, but less so in China, so some people misunderstand and think that they are two different things. In the rock or independent music industry, usually the music albums published by a company are of a relatively similar style, so over time, some well-known companies, that is, labels, represent a certain music style. For example, the label 4AD represents independent music, Sub pop is Grunge, Earache is mostly death metal, and Projekt is basically black wave. You can generally know the style of an album through the label.

For many people, the label is just a few small words in an inconspicuous place on the record, but for those senior music fans, music journalists and people in the recording industry, big labels Brand (major) and independent label (indie) mean essentially different things. Outside of our country, rock music has become the most popular music style of the 20th century, but this is due to the pioneers of many independent labels. As a source of innovation, their own efforts and influence on major labels created today's rock music.
