brand worship

Logo loyalty fanaticism

Brand worship is intense, quasi-religious devotion to a commercial brand, where consumers defend, evangelize, and identify personally with a company's products.

The term carries mockery—suggesting the fervor is irrational or misplaced: Apple fans lined up overnight in what critics called brand worship.

Brand worshippers treat criticism of their preferred products as personal attacks.
